Abstract
This invention is a dual-path disintegrator having a first path which carries bulk office products to a disintegrator, such as a rotary knife mill, for high security destruction, and a second path which carries sheets of paper through a shredder, either cross cut or strip cut, and then through a disintegrator, such as a rotary knife mill, for final high security destruction.
Claims15
A device for high security destruction of sheets of paper and bulk office products containing information, comprising
- a.) a first path that carries bulk office products to a disintegrator which is adapted for final high security destruction of the information in the bulk office products,
- b.) a second path that carries sheets of paper through a shredder, to pre-shred the paper, and then through the disintegrator, for final high security destruction of the information on paper, and
- c.) wherein the first path does not carry the bulk office products through the shredder.
A device for high security destruction of information on sheets of paper and in bulk office products, comprising
- a.) a first path that carries bulk office products to a disintegrator, which is a rotary knife mill, which is adapted for final high security destruction of the information in bulk office products,
- b.) a second path that carries sheets of paper through a shredder, wherein the shredder is a cross cut or strip cut shredder, to shred the paper, and then through the disintegrator, for final high security destruction of the information on the paper,
- c.) wherein the first path does not carry the bulk office products through the shredder,
- d.) wherein the device comprises a first input port for feeding the bulk office products to the first path and a second input port, separate from the first input port, for feeding sheets of paper to the second path,
- e.) wherein the bulk office products are selected from the group consisting of books, videocassettes, identification badges, photographic slides, and computer disks, and
- f.) wherein the device is designed to be suitable for use in an office, home, or medical clinical environment.
A device for high security destruction of print on sheets of paper, comprising a path that carries sheets of paper through a shredder, to shred the sheets of paper, and then through a disintegrator, for final high security destruction of the print on the paper.
