What happens when your multimedia devices reach the end of their life? Do you leave them in the spare drawer at your desk? Stuff them away in a box in your closet? The importance of destroying your sensitive data at the end of its lifecycle is vital to the protection of your secure documents, files, pictures and messages. Before now, it was hard to destroy your devices without having to remove them from your possession and transport them to a special shredding area. Now, the FlashEx is the newest multimedia destroyer from top shredder manufacturer, Intimus, It has the ability to effectively destroy all of the sensitive information stored on your multimedia devices including CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, SSDs, cell phones, and mini tablets. This new product gives users the luxury of a large industrial media shredder, with the convenience of in office operation.  Unlike traditional industrial shredders, the FlashEx is designed to be easy to use without the need for special electrical requirements, or noise cancellation equipment.

    Operation of the FlashEx is simple, plug the cord into any standard wall outlet in your office, turn the machine on, and your shredder is ready to use. There are two different ways to destroy your digital media, depending on the size. For smaller digital devices including CDs, DVDs, and USB sticks, simply open the metal flap located right under the viewing window.  The media will drop down into the cutting chamber and the FlashEx will immediately start shredding the device. For larger items including phones and mini tablets, slide open the clear viewing glass, place the item on the cutting chamber and close the viewing glass. Once closed, the FlashEx will immediately start shredding your materials.

Three things we really like about the FlashEx shredder are three features that no other media shredder on the market currently have.  The first thing we like about it is the uniqueness of the machine.  The FlashEx is the only machine on the market that gives the user the ability to shred their mobile devices on site without the need to transport to a specific shredding area, while removing the medias from your possession. Another thing we really like about the FlashEx is the ability to use it in any standard power supply in any room.  This shredder only requires a standard single phase power supply, so it can be used in any office room that you need it, and can be relocated to another site without worry.  The third thing we really like about this machine is the amount of space it takes up. With dimensions (in inches) of 22.8 L x 24 W and 39 H, the FlashEx is flexible in terms of where you can position it in your office. With no other comparable machine on the market, the only machine that is sure to fulfill your media destroying needs is the Intimus FlashEx shredder.
