This shredder looks perfect for our recycling plant. The energy efficiency specs are impressive!
I’m curious about the noise levels with the acoustic enclosure. Anyone has real-world experience with this model?
1,500 hour blade life? That’s crazy good compared to what we’re using now 🤯
Haha they clearly never tried shredding our tough industrial scrap. Wonder how it handles real-world abuse.
The AI optimization module seems overpriced. Basic maintenance scheduling should be included standard.
