How it works

The LX221 operates by feeding documents into a wide (230 mm) throat. The machine’s sensors activate its micro-cut blades while monitoring usage—shredding each sheet into thousands of tiny particles until the job is complete or run time expires. Safety features halt operation if fingers are detected near the entry slot.
