Fellowes AutoMax 350C Cross-Cut Commercial Office Auto Feed 2-in-1 Paper Shredder

The Fellowes® AutoMax™ 350C Cross-Cut Commercial Office Auto Feed 2-in-1 Paper Shredder is engineered for busy workplaces that demand secure disposal of sensitive documents without interrupting workflow. This high-capacity shredder combines a powerful auto-feed system with a versatile manual feed, delivering fast, secure destruction for large volumes of paperwork while handling occasional bulky materials with ease. Designed for commercial environments, the AutoMax 350C is built to withstand daily use, offering dependable performance, intuitive controls, and safety features that keep teams productive and compliant. From financial records and HR files to invoices and confidential client information, this shredder makes privacy simple, efficient, and compliant with security standards in a modern office setting.

• Efficient Auto Feed at its core: The AutoMax 350C handles up to 350 sheets in a single auto-feed cycle, dramatically reducing manual feeding and accelerating document destruction. With this feature, teams can drop stacks of papers into the auto feeder and return to other tasks, knowing the shredding process is ongoing without continuous supervision. It’s ideal for departments that process large volumes of documents daily, such as accounting, legal, and human resources, where time is money and security is non-negotiable.
• Secure Cross-Cut for confidential disposal: The 350C shreds documents into small, unreadable cross-cut pieces, offering a higher level of privacy and compliance for sensitive materials. This cutting method meets essential data protection standards by transforming physical records into granular confetti-like fragments, making reconstruction impractical. The cross-cut design is especially important for protecting client information, payroll records, and proprietary materials as they move through the shredder path.
• Versatile 2-in-1 shredding experience: In addition to the Auto Feed capability, the 350C provides a Manual Feed slot for shredding odd-sized documents, receipts, bulky pages, or materials that don’t fit the auto tray. This two-pronged approach keeps documents flowing in high-demand environments and gives operators flexibility when dealing with mixed mail and printouts. The combination of Auto Feed and Manual Feed helps maintain productivity across departments while preserving security for every item you shred.
• Commercial-grade build for dependable performance: Crafted for busy offices, the AutoMax 350C features a robust design designed to withstand frequent use, long workdays, and heavy workloads. Its durable construction supports a large daily capacity with a stable, vibration-minimized operation and a long service life. The user-friendly interface and clear indicators help teams monitor status at a glance, while durable components resist wear, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in a fast-paced office environment.
• Smart safety, simple maintenance, and peace of mind: The 350C includes practical safety features to protect operators and maintain productivity. Automatic start/stop controls, overload protection, and jam-prevention mechanisms help keep the shredder operating smoothly while reducing the likelihood of mishaps. Regular maintenance routines are straightforward, with easy bin emptying and straightforward blade care steps that extend the shredder’s life and ensure consistent shredding performance over time.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What materials can the Fellowes AutoMax 350C shred? A: It is designed to shred standard paper with staples and paper clips. For security and efficiency, avoid attempting to shred thick plastics, metal bindings, or unusual materials in the auto feeder. Use the manual slot for mixed-media documents as needed.
• Q: How much paper can I load into the auto feeder? A: The AutoMax 350C supports up to 350 sheets per auto-feed cycle, enabling large-volume shredding without constant reloading. For best performance, fan and align sheets before loading and avoid overfilling beyond the recommended capacity.
• Q: Is it quiet during operation? A: The model is designed for office-friendly performance, balancing power with relatively quiet operation suitable for shared spaces. While shredding, you may still hear motor sound and the sound of paper entering the blades, which is normal for cross-cut shredders at this capacity.
• Q: What safety features are included? A: Safety features typically include automatic start/stop functionality, overload protection, jam-prevention mechanisms, and a secured bin to minimize exposure to moving parts. Always use the safety key or lock as recommended and keep hands away from the shredder throat.
• Q: What maintenance does the shredder require? A: Regular emptying of the waste bin preserves performance. Periodic lubrication of the cutting blades with manufacturer-approved oil is recommended to maintain cutting efficiency and prevent jams. Clear any jams promptly using the manual slot, and ensure proper ventilation around the motor area.
