5Function of the machine
Exchangeable hardened cutting discs are mounted on two counter rotating steel shafts
Materials such as optical, magnetic and FLASH data media are drawn into cutting
shafts and cut into pieces.
Depending on requested security level the shredded chips can be shredded once more
to reach the target size or, if necessary, a screen can be optionally installed underneath
the cutting unit with hole diameters of e.g. 5 or 3 mm to reach the target security level.
The drive and cutting unit is protected against overload by an electronic torque limiter
with reversing movement.

Workable materials
Seite 13/29
7Workable materials
intimus SSD Granulator is designed to shred FLASH media. CDs, DVDs floppy discs
and smart cards can be processed as well when feeding them carefully and mixed with
FLASH media (these materials are less brittle and thus need more cutting power, also,
they create more friction in the cutting system and tend to get soft and melt with
increasing temperature). It is recommended to remove metal clips or removable
covers from thumb drives before shredding. These parts do not contain data and
increase the wear and reduce the throughput. The machine is NOT suitable to shred
magnetic HDD´s. Intimus SSD Granulator is designed to be fed via a special funnel for
max. media size of approx. 138 x 200 x 40 mm (l x w x h). For processing of any
alternate products please contact the supplier for written approval and advice.
Whilst cutting head parts are specially hardened it must be noted that media contain
tough materials including metal parts which wear the cutting head of the shredder after
varying time, depending on type, size, quality and volume of shredded goods.
Data media may contain parts which by their nature might remain within the cutting unit
including cutters, spacers etc. It is highly recommended therefore that these particles
are removed from the machine on a weekly basis or earlier if the capacity throughput of
the unit decreases.
It must also be noted that you should never try to shred any type of hardened
metal like the head of a hammer as this will permanently damage the cutting knives and
associated parts.
Please note that the unit should be placed under a suitable annual
preventative maintenance contract from new by a trained engineer or the
guarantee may get void.
Attention!
Do not use material which contains poisonous or caustic
substances or substances which develop corrosion or which are
combustible.

apors and Dust
Seite 14/29
8Vapors and Dust
ATTENTION! During shredding vapor and dust may emerge.
1. Depending on the individual shredding material and the assembled screen,
flammable dust may develop during the shredding process. The smaller the
mesh size of the assembled screen, the smaller particles are created and the
higher the dust contents is in the shredding material. Due to the vast multitude of
data media and their manufacturers, we cannot give general advice if an when
flammable dust is generated. Thus it is in the responsibility of the operator to
monitor developing of flammable dust for his specific shredding situation
depending on the individual shredding material and assembled screen and take
appropriate action in accordance with applicable standards and rules.
2. Depending on the individual shredding material and the assembled screen,
harmful vapors and dust may develop during the shredding process. The
smaller the mesh size of the assembled screen, the smaller particles are created
and the more likely it is that small components on PCB-boards are cut, which
may release liquid or aeriform substances. Due to the vast multitude of data
media and their manufacturers, we cannot give general advice if an when
harmful vapor or dust is generated. Thus it is in the responsibility of the
operator to monitor developing of harmful vapor or dust for his specific
shredding situation depending on the individual shredding material and
assembled screen and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable
standards and rules. At any rate it is recommended, to follow the basic guidelines
for electronic scrap recycling to not employ pregnant women in the room
where the shredder is situated, and to interdict eating, drinking and smoking
in this room for all employees. As an option, the shredder can be equipped with
a connecting port for an existing dust extraction plant for collection and disposal
of dusty and aeriform emissions of the machine.

Suggested Feed Rates
Seite 15/29
9Su ested Feed Rates
To avoid jamming when operating the machine with sieve and the following long-winded
clearing of the jam and eventual damages to the machine, the feed rate must be equal
to the output of the sieve. With a smaller meshed sieve the output will decrease as well.
Attention!
The operator must define the output of the machine with his
specific shredding material and the installed sieve and adapt his
feed-rate accordingly.
For standard thumb drives of the most common “Twister” type (see photo) intimus
has evaluated for ease of operation the following suggestions for feed rates:
It is important to feed data media continuously with the prescribed feed rates. When
feeding more media in longer intervals, the limited space between knives and screen
will overfill and the machine may start jamming. When the jam cannot be cleared by
pressing the start, after a few seconds the stop and then the reverse buttons and
continuing so until the machine runs freely again, the screen must be removed for
clearing the jam, which costs more time than following the suggested feed rates
Depending on size, material and weight of your individual media shorter or longer
intervals may be chosen according to the actual load level. Please note that the
above mentioned figures are based on intimus internal tests. Data media, which
intimus used for their tests, may achieve different throughput figures than your
specific material.
For this reason each operator must determine the output of the machine with his
specific shredding material and adapt his feed rate accordingly.
Damages which result out of overloading are excluded from warranty.
