Intimus PRO data shredders are equipped with the EcoLogic energy management system as a standard feature. Time-responsive electronics put the shredder into sleep mode after it has been idle for some time, automatically reducing its power usage to zero. This eliminates the extravagant power consumption of the stand-by mode. Simply touch the i-control center button and the operational status is instantly restored.

The intimus PRO data shredder series guards against gamming of the cutting unit and stoppage with the DLS Dynamic-Load-Sensor. DLS detects the paper volume as it is fed into the cutting unit. The result of this measurement is communicated to the user by changing colors; like traffic lights, of a light strip in the paper feed area. Tests have proved that the color change of the dynamic load sensor quickly sensitizes the user to a balanced in-feed of paper. The feed slot for CDs, plastic cards, or diskettes is designed to take only the maximum amount allowed.

Intimus PRO data shredders have an array of practical features complementing their versatile options of use. By means of 2 x 2 cut and collect, both types of shredded material are kept completely separate: cutting units and collecting bins for paper - and separate ones for compact data carriers - enabling environmentally-friendly disposal.

The intimus PRO shredder series features Silentec a completely new design of the bearing of the cutting head that results in maximum absorption of the variations generated during shredding. Intimus PRO data shredders not only rank among the most silent models in their class - courtesy of Silentec but the sound pattern is also acoustically pleasing. Thanks to this design, an intimus PRO data shredder never creates a noise disturbance, wherever it may be.

Intimus PRO shredders are supported by control the heart of the technical concept, that controls the shredder functions and provides a visual information center for maximum clarity in operator guidance. In standby mode the intimus" PRO data shredder switches on and off again automatically via a light barrier. The ergonomically designed function buttons are used to switch the shredder on and off, to clear any paper jams and to program additional functions such as access protection.
