Easy transaction, good price and fast delivery, thanks.
Well made and well designed shredder. Works well with not much noise and I'm confident it will last a long time as it was made in Germany.
Very quick service.
Overall - good and fast service.
Excellent service
prompt delivery
Excellent service. Machine arrived quickly with no problems at all. Also very competitive pricing compared to the same model available through other websites.
Great price, delivery and service. Thanks
Very quick delivery but was not told when dispatched or when it was being delivered so when I rang was told it was being sent on Thursday but had already been sent so staff who answer phones need to be better trained
Machine arrived in good order and comfortably within the 3 - 4 working days promised.
Quick delivery, smooth process.
Fast delivery. Uneventful.
Amazing service. Expected delivery in a few days. It was a surprise when it was delivered next day.
Well packed and protected ans arrived on time
Ordered a shredder at 3pm on 31st December 2023, the order was confirmed on 2nd January 2024 and delivered on 3rd January. The extras in the bundle were delivered first, and the shredder arrived within about half an hour later.
Everything was very well packaged and in perfect condition. I had reservations about the quality of the HSM B32 shredder, based entirely on how much the price was reduced; they were entirely unfounded!
I'm VERY impressed with both the service and the quality of the product. Don't just think about buying a shreddder from 'Shredding Machines.co.uk DO IT !
First time of using and was not disappointed. I would not think twice about using this company again.
Easy purchase process, although I got told off for using my card and not getting it invoiced... Quick delivery.
First time of dealing with ShreddingMachines and everything has gone well and there are no reasons why I wouldn't use them again - well done!
Shredder came on time, was packaged well. Website was easy to navigate and you had a lot of choice with different price points. I had gone to quite a few websites and ended up ordering here because of the range and competitive pricing. Thank you for helping me to find a decent shredder that is sensibly priced.
Ordered the shredder on line and the company provided the item within a couple of days. Great service. Other than that I can't comment
Really fast delivery. When I queried country of manufacture of product, I was immediately offered a return, however, as I needed a shredder, I accepted the company's offer of free oil and shredding bags as compensation. These arrived promptly.
My main comment is that four weeks on, the Web page for the shredder still suggests it was made in Germany. Please amend your Web page.
The product was delivered in the time stated.
Good price. Arrived on time. Good communication
Very efficient company.
Fast delivery thank you very much.

Product Details
Turn your used cardboard packaging into high-bulk void fill and protective matting
The Optimax OCS320 (formerly OP320) Cardboard Carton Shredder allows you to recycle your waste cardboard boxes, which helps to protect our environment and save money by not having to purchase additional chips or bubble wrap, and reducing costs of skip removal or the compacting of old cartons.
The OCS320 Shredder is a single-phase unit that plugs into a standard 13amp socket, and shreds card products of up to 320mm wide and up to 12mm thick at a rate of 12 metres per minute, making flexible lattice matting which can then be used to void-fill or product protect a host of items on demand. The OCS320 produces 2-3m3 per hour of void-fill with a recommended maximum run time of 3 hours, and a footprint less than 0.5sq.m. The unit also incorporates a cutting system so in a single pass the machine simultaneously cuts and processes the cardboard therefore trimming and shredding pieces to a given size – perfect for your individual items.
The Optimax OCS320 (Vacuum Ready) Cardboard Carton Shredder features a connection for a vacuum dust extraction system (sold separately) that reduces dust when used in dust-sensitive working environments and cuts down on some maintenance requirements.
Safer, Cleaner and Quieter, this Optimax Cardboard Shredder is CE/EMC compliant and built to class IE3 energy efficiency, which is up to 30% more energy efficient, using less electricity for the same performance. Soft start means less component wear and quieter operation. Optimax Cardboard Shredders are the first to comply with BS EN ISO 13857:2008. The standard stipulates that a 20mm-high opening to a blade mechanism must incorporate a minimum safety distance of 120mm - Optimax, a market leader in innovation and operator safety, has exceeded these requirements to provide a safety distance of 140mm.
These machines are fitted with a power inverter as required by the IEC3 Premium Efficiency standard – it is not recommended to connect them to a power circuit protected by an RCD or RCBO device, as this may cause nuisance tripping. If connection to a protected circuit is unavoidable we suggest the use of a Type B protection device, although this still may not completely eliminate the tripping but will reduce it.
Please note that whilst these machines will shred staples Optimax recommends customers remove them where possible as it will increase the wear on the cutting head and therefore shorten the life of the machine. Furthermore, most users will want to remove the staples anyway as if you are using these for packaging materials then any staples left behind may scratch the goods. The shredding of non-paper and cardboard materials like plastic tapes and strapping may damage your machine and negate your warranty.
Supplied with manufacturers 2 year return to base warranty and available with a leasing options if required to spread the cost of the purchase. Can be supplied with an optional Dust Reduction Unit to collect any dust residue, as has pre-installed locations conveniently fitted.
