Intimus Cross Cut Paper Shredder Pro 120cp5

The Intimus Paper Shredder Pro 120 CP5 (often designated as 120CP5 or CC4) is a high-performance, German-engineered office shredder designed for departments requiring superior data security. As of March 2026, it remains a top-tier choice for organizations handling "fundamental importance" documents, such as medical records, financial strategies, or sensitive HR files.

2. Sheet Capacity: Shreds 15–17 sheets (70gsm) or 13–15 sheets (80gsm) per pass.
3. Throughput: Capable of processing up to 455–481 sheets per minute.
4. Bin Capacity: Massive 120-liter (31.7 gallon) waste container, which can hold approximately 3,840 shredded sheets.

Why the 120 CP5 Stands Out for 2026 Offices

1. DLS (Dynamic Load Sensor)

To prevent the most common cause of shredder failure—paper jams—the 120 CP5 features a light strip in the feed area. It changes color (Green to Amber to Red) to tell the user if they are feeding too much paper at once.

2. i-control® Management System

The central control pad provides visual indicators for "Bin Full," "Door Open," "Paper Jam," and even an "Oil Indicator" to ensure you maintain the cutters for their 30-year design life.

3. EcoLogic Energy Efficiency

In line with 2026 sustainability standards, the shredder automatically enters a zero-watt sleep mode after 15 minutes of inactivity, significantly reducing office overhead costs.

4. 2x2 Cut & Collect

The machine features separate cutting slots and waste containers for paper and digital media (CDs/Plastic). This makes recycling much easier as you don't have to pick plastic shards out of your paper waste.

Maintenance Tip for Nigerian Offices

Because of the high dust levels in many Nigerian cities, ensure you use Intimus Shredder Oil or lubrication sheets every time you empty the 120L bin. This keeps the micro-cut shafts sharp and prevents the motor from overheating.
