The Fellowes AutoMax 550C is a commercial auto feed cross-cut shredder built for busy shared workspaces where larger document batches need to be destroyed efficiently. Load up to 550 sheets in the automatic feed tray or use the manual feed slot for smaller 14-sheet jobs, then let the machine handle the shredding cycle with continuous run time.
For document security, the AutoMax 550C cuts paper into P-4 cross-cut particles measuring 4 x 38 mm. It also handles common office shredding needs such as staples, paper clips, credit cards, CDs/DVDs, glossy paper and junk mail, making it a practical option for departments that regularly clear confidential paperwork.
SmartLock helps protect documents during the automatic shredding cycle, while SilentShred supports quieter operation in shared workspaces. Auto Reverse helps reduce paper-jam interruptions, Sleep Mode saves energy after inactivity, and the large removable bin helps reduce frequent emptying.
