Paper Recycling and Data Destruction
One-step shredding that recycles paper and cardboard and securely destroys confidential material.
Recycling and security in one process
Paper and cardboard can be turned back into new paper or into insulation material, but only if they are shredded efficiently. For many operators the same line also has to destroy confidential documents and data carriers securely.
A Lindner Micromat system does both. It shreds paper, cardboard, confidential paper and data carriers such as DVDs and magnetic media, and it copes with whole bales and contaminated material without being thrown by foreign objects.
How the process works
Material is shredded in a single step on the Micromat. A suction hood above the machine captures airborne particles to reduce the fire risk, and a filter removes dust to keep the working area clean.
Conveyors carry material to and from the shredder with automatic speed regulation, and an overbelt magnet removes ferrous metal such as binding wire before the output moves on.
Output and security level
The line produces a fine output, with 90% of particles under 20 mm, at up to 5 tonnes per hour.
Destruction meets the German DIN 66399 standard up to security level 5, which Lindner specifies for confidential paper and data carriers including magnetic storage media. That gives you a recognised benchmark for secure destruction.

FAQs
What security level can the system achieve?
The Lindner process meets DIN 66399 up to security level 5. That covers confidential paper as well as data carriers such as DVDs and magnetic storage media.
What throughput and output size can I expect?
The line can process up to 5 tonnes per hour, with 90% of the shredded material under 20 mm. Actual figures depend on your input material.
Can it shred whole bales of paper or cardboard?
Yes. The Micromat is designed to take whole bales and contaminated material and is resistant to foreign objects in the feed.
What is the shredded paper used for?
The output can be recycled into new paper products or used to make insulation material. Ferrous metal such as binding wire is removed by a magnet during the process.
