About Dahle CleanTEC

Be confident in the security and efficiency of your document disposal with the Dahle CleanTEC 51522 Department Shredder. This high-capacity, cross-cut shredder is designed to destroy confidential information while simultaneously promoting a healthier work environment.

Engineered in Germany, the Dahle CleanTEC 51522 is equipped with an innovative internal filter system that captures and traps up to 98% of harmful fine dust particles, making it the world's only shredder with a fine dust filter system. This unique feature ensures a cleaner, healthier workspace, making it an ideal choice for offices prioritizing both security and employee wellbeing.

The shredder's automatic EvenFlow Lubricator ensures optimal performance by providing a slow, continuous oil supply across the entire cutting mechanism. This feature, akin to the regular oiling of a finely-tuned machine, ensures that your shredder operates at peak performance, prolonging its lifespan and ensuring smooth, trouble-free operation.

With a capacity to shred 16-18 sheets at a speed of 18 feet per minute, this P-5 shredder produces a 1/13" x 9/16" particle size, making it virtually impossible to reconstruct any shredded documents. The generous 12" feed width and 38-gallon waste volume capacity make it suitable for high-volume, departmental use.

The Dahle CleanTEC 51522 Department Shredder also boasts a unique cylinder design that offers three continuous points of contact with the paper. This design prevents paper from wedging to either side, providing unparalleled jam protection and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted shredding.

In addition, the SmartPower Energy Management system automatically powers down the shredder after 30 minutes of inactivity, making it an energy-efficient choice that can help reduce electrical costs. With over 88 years of German engineering experience, this Dahle shredder offers not only a high-quality machine but also peace of mind, with a lifetime guarantee on the cutting cylinders.
