1. High Capacity. The FD 8500SC features an AC-gear driven motor that not only gives you an impressive amount of power to work with, it runs at an nice clip of 33 feet per minute, and, perhaps best of all for a busy office setting, operates in a remarkably quiet fashion. With a sheet capacity of up to 22 pages at a time, you won't have to worry about productivity coming to a halt when it's time for you to do your shredding. The cutting blades are made of a specially heat treated steel and are designed to give you a lifetime of use. In fact, Formax guarantees these cutting heads for the lifetime of the machine. The extra wide 16 inch feed opening will accommodate all the most commonly used paper sizes, as well as larger sheets such as computer printouts.

   
   

2. Easy to Operate. The FD 8500SC features a large, easy to read and use LED control panel that lets you know the machine's operational status at all times. With it, you can to choose to put the machine into a very handy auto start and stop mode which utilizes an optical sensor that detects when paper is placed into the feed opening, starts the machine, and stops it automatically when the shredding is done. This way, you can simply place your documents into the shredder and move onto other tasks. There is also a manual mode that you can use if the material you are shredding (such as film) is too light for the sensor to detect. The LED panel also has a load indicator that will help you to prevent overfeeds and paper jams.

   
   

3. Safety Features. The FD 8500SC will turn it self off automatically and immediately if the cabinet door is opened for any reason. It will do the same when the shred bin is full and needs emptying. In the event of a paper jam, the FD 8500SC's motor will instantly kick into reverse mode until the jam is cleared. There is an on-board circuit breaker that helps to prevent electrical problems, and the motor has a thermal overload protection that enables itself to turn itself off if it ever begins to overheat.

   
   

4. Easy To Maintain. The LED control panel has a flashing indicator to let you know when the cutting heads need to be oiled. Better yet, you can pick up the optional EvenFlow oiling system to help you ensure that your machine is always running at top capacity. You can also clean the cutting heads at any time simply by pressing the reverse button for five seconds which will run the motor in reverse for one minute.

   
   

5. Self Diagnosing. The FD 8500SC's on-board computer will record the amount of time you have been operating the machine, the frequency of auto reverse operations, and even the volume of paper that you have shredded, and can display that information to a technician if you should ever require a service call.
