Dahle Data Destruction: Paper and Digital Media Shredders

Why Choose Dahle?

Recent events have made shredding confidential information a necessity. Documents found in the trash are not legally protected, making them accessible to individuals seeking information about you or your business. This has led to a rapid increase in identity theft and industrial espionage. Federal security laws require medical and financial institutions, as well as business owners, to properly safeguard their clients' personal information. The best way to dispose of this information is by shredding it with a Dahle Professional Shredder.

Dahle shredders are carefully engineered in Germany, utilizing the latest technology and finest materials. Each component is manufactured and assembled with precision, backed by over 90 years of experience. Dahle shredders feature cutting cylinders guaranteed for a lifetime, along with components like rubber shock mounts, electronic sensors, and thermally protected motors, ensuring a quality machine and peace of mind for years of trouble-free operation.

Security Levels

Under the international DIN 66399 standard, Dahle offers six security levels for document destruction. Each increase in security level signifies a smaller particle (shred) size.
