Fellowes Beswick Medium Office Microshred

The Fellowes Beswick Microshred is a manual-feed micro-cut shredder built for medium offices that handle sensitive documents daily and need continuous, uninterrupted shredding performance. The medium office range holds one model, the 225Mi, a P-5 rated machine that reduces each A4 sheet into over 2000 particles. It suits teams of five or more people and environments with strict POPIA compliance obligations, including legal firms, financial service providers, medical practices, and HR departments.

Key facts:

Cut type: micro-cut at P-5 security level, producing over 2000 particles per A4 sheet.

1. Sheet capacity: 14 sheets per pass through the manual feed slot.
2. Duty cycle: continuous, meaning the motor does not require cool-down periods.
3. Bin capacity: 60 litres, suitable for high daily volumes.
4. SafeSense technology automatically stops the motor when hands approach the paper opening.

What Is the Fellowes Beswick Microshred 225Mi?

The Fellowes Beswick Microshred 225Mi is a continuous-duty, manual-feed micro-cut shredder rated at DIN security level P-5, designed for medium office environments with five or more users.

How Does the Microshred 225Mi Compare to Other Fellowes Beswick Shredders?

The Microshred 225Mi sits between the AutoMax range (auto-feed, P-4 to P-5) and the Fortishred range (P-5 to P-6 super micro-cut and high security) in the Fellowes Beswick lineup. It offers higher security than most AutoMax cross-cut models and a continuous duty cycle that most AutoMax models do not provide, while the Fortishred range steps up further for classified or government-grade destruction.
