Engineered to address the needs of modern workplaces and home offices alike, this shredder is packed with advanced features and robust technology designed to ensure efficient and effective document destruction.

One of the standout features of the OD500C is its cross-cut shredding capability. This innovative technology allows users to shred paper into confetti-like pieces, providing a higher level of security compared to traditional strip-cut shredders.

The Fellowes OD500C boasts a generous shredding capacity, being able to process up to 500 sheets of paper per day. With a 12-sheet capacity at once, it efficiently handles standard letter-sized sheets. This capability is complemented by its fast shredding speed of up to 7 feet per minute, allowing users to get through their documents quickly and without hassle.

Additionally, the OD500C is equipped with the patented SafeSense technology, which automatically stops shredding when hands touch the paper entry. This feature enhances safety, particularly in busy office environments where multiple users may interact with the machine. Another impressive feature includes its ability to shred not only paper but also credit cards, staples, and paper clips, making it a versatile tool for document disposal.

The compact design of the OD500C is tailored to fit comfortably in various office settings without taking up too much space. Its sleek and modern aesthetic is appealing, and its large waste bin, which holds up to 5 gallons of shredded material, minimizes the need for frequent emptying.

With features such as a continuous run time of up to 12 minutes, the Fellowes OD500C stands out in its class. It combines efficiency with user-friendly operation, making it an ideal choice for professionals who demand reliable document management solutions. Whether for home use or in a corporate setting, the Fellowes OD500C elevates security with its innovative shredding technology and thoughtful design.
