Shredder pavo Stripcut 12, strip width 6 mm, capacity 12 A4 sheets, 220 mm feed, black

The pavo Stripcut 12 is a strip-cut office shredder designed for routine document disposal in small offices, home workspaces, and reception areas. It shreds paper into 6 mm strips and can process up to 12 A4 sheets in a single pass. With a 220 mm feed width and a black finish, the unit balances compact size with practical throughput for light to medium use.

Advantages

The strip-cut mechanism produces consistent 6 mm strips that reduce document legibility while maintaining a straightforward disposal process. The 12-sheet capacity per pass helps save time during batch shredding tasks, and the 220 mm feed width accommodates standard A4 documents without folding. Its compact footprint and neutral black color allow placement under desks or on shelving without drawing attention.

Suitable for

• Small offices and home offices handling routine paperwork
• Reception desks and shared workstations with low to moderate shredding needs
• Shredding of standard A4 documents such as invoices, letters, and memos

When it may not be suitable

This model is intended for light to medium shredding workloads and is not designed for continuous heavy-duty use in large offices. It uses a strip-cut method with 6 mm strips, which reduces legibility but does not provide the higher security of cross-cut or micro-cut shredders required for highly sensitive documents.

Key specifications

• Cut type: strip-cut (6 mm strip width)
• Maximum sheets per pass: 12 A4 sheets
• Feed width: 220 mm (suitable for A4)
• Colour: black

How to use

Place the shredder on a stable surface and align A4 documents with the feed opening. Insert up to the maximum number of sheets per pass and allow the unit to complete the shredding cycle before adding more. Empty the waste bin regularly to maintain performance and prevent paper jams. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions for any recommended lubrication or cleaning intervals to prolong the life of the cutting blades.

What to consider before purchase

• Required security level — strip-cut 6 mm strips are suitable for routine document disposal but not for high-security needs
• Expected shredding volume — suitable for light to medium use; consider a cross-cut model for heavier daily throughput
• Physical space and placement — compact size and black finish fit many office environments

Usage recommendations

To extend the lifespan of the shredder, avoid exceeding the sheet capacity, remove staples and paper clips when possible, and empty the waste bin before it becomes overfilled. Regularly check for and clear small jams according to the user manual and perform periodic blade care as advised.
