The IDP Smart BIT Ribbon Shredder is the first of its kind and provides a secure way to dispose of used ID card printer ribbons instantly. Confidential data that is printed onto an ID card is left as a trail on a used printer ribbon, so it is paramount for any business or organisation to complete this task in-house. Ease of Use The Smart BIT Shredder has two-speed options, a standard and fast mode shredding speed depending on the user's requirements. It is incredibly easy to use, taking just 60 seconds to set up. The auto-stop feature means the machine will automatically stop once the job has been completed or when the waste bag is full, saving valuable time. Twisted Micro-Cut Technology The Smart BIT Shredder’s unique twist and cut motion shreds the ribbon into tiny unrecognisable particles. Once shredded, the particle sizes are approximately 2.5mm, meaning they are unreadable and unable to be put back together. Once the waste bag is full, just empty this into a standard waste bin and restart the process. Flexibility The lightweight design means the shredder can easily move from location to location. The machine will fit nicely onto a standard office desktop space in terms of size. Compatibility The big plus point for the Smart Bit shredder and the reason we believe it will be one of our best-selling products is the fact that it is not restricted to just IPD Smart ribbons. The shredder is fully compatible with all leading printer manufacturer brands and can shred dye-sub, wax and resin ribbons from 60mm to 90mm. However, it is not advisable to put lamination films into the machine. Speed The Smart BIT can shred up to 20 meters of ribbon per minute when opting for the fast mode. That’s an incredible 1,200 meters an hour. Bin Capacity There is no need for the user to continually return to the machine to empty a ribbon once shredded. The catch basin has enough space for up to 6 shredded ribbons, working of 6x 250 imprints per ribbon...
