What’s New with Auto Feed Paper Shredders in 2026?
As workplaces continue to demand smarter, more efficient tools, professional auto-feed shredder manufacturers show no signs of slowing their innovation efforts. Productivity and convenience remain central to development strategies, driving the creation of machines that save time, reduce effort, and support secure business operations.
The core auto-feed systems used by major brands such as Rexel, INFOSTOP, and Fellowes remain largely unchanged. Rexel and INFOSTOP continue to rely on friction-feed technology, while Fellowes maintains its AcuFeed auger system, with both technologies delivering comparable performance. This year’s key innovation has been in compact shredders, which now offer the power and performance of larger machines in a smaller footprint—ideal for home offices or for users looking to save space.
Compact Power: INFOSTOP’s New Small Form-Factor Range
New for 2026, INFOSTOP introduces its small form-factor range of auto-feed paper shredders. Don’t let the compact size fool you—this exciting new line delivers the power and performance typically associated with much larger machines, all within a reduced footprint, ideal for modern offices.
The new INFOSTOP automaster compact range includes the AS180M, AS180MX, AS250M and AS250MX, featuring a host of advanced innovations:
• Recessed loading chamber for increased paper capacity without increasing machine size
• Dual-spindle, asymmetric auto-feeding, significantly improving feed speed and making successive reloading during bulk shredding more efficient
• Optimised acoustics for distraction-free operation that helps preserve workplace focus
• Micro-cut blade technology that halves shredded waste volume compared to cross-cut shredders, reducing bin-emptying downtime
o AS180M & AS250M: 4 × 10 mm particles (P-4 security level)
o AS180MX & AS250MX: 2 × 15 mm particles (P-5 security level)
• Particle sweeper system that evenly distributes shredded material to prevent premature bin filling
• Extended auto-feed run times—up to 30 minutes for the AS180 series and up to 90 minutes for the AS250 series—maximising productivity with no cooling delays
• Auto-cleaning mode to maintain blade performance between scheduled oiling
• Efficient staple and paper clip removal directly from the auto-feeder
• Latest blade geometry, delivering lower energy consumption while further reducing noise levels
Affordable Auto-Feed for Small Offices: AS60M
Also joining the INFOSTOP automaster range in 2026 is the AS60M, a professional small auto-feed paper shredder with a 60-sheet loose paper auto-feeder.
Designed specifically for small office and home office (SOHO) users, the AS60M narrows the gap between consumer and professional shredders. This compact yet capable model offers:
• Secure micro-cut shredding (P-4 security, 4 × 15 mm particles)
• A generous 20-minute continuous run time
• A modern, space-saving design
• An intuitive touch-panel control interface for ease of use
Looking Ahead
With its 2026 line-up, INFOSTOP continues to redefine what businesses can expect from auto-feed paper shredders—combining compact design, advanced security, and productivity-enhancing features across a broad range of workplace needs.
