Dahle CleanTEC EvenFlow Lubricator | Regularly Sheduled Oiling Commence

The new line of Dahle CleanTEC paper and media shredders are the most advanced shredders ever manufactured.  The CleanTEC namesake is derived from the new air and dust filtration system which removes 98% of the fine dust that is created from paper, cd-rom or dvd material, reducing Indoor Air Pollution and improving air quality.  In addition to the dust filtering system the new CleanTEC document shredders are at the pinnacle of the shredding food chain.

Let’s take a look at the new EvenFlow Lubricator feature.  As with many of you, when we hear EvenFlow, we think of Pearl Jam.  A new Dahle CleanTEC shredder, just like Pearl Jam, is a well oiled machine.  Gone are the days where your shredder fails because everyone in your office expects that the next or last guy oiled the shredder.  With the transition to cross cut shredding machines, the need to keep your shredder oiled on a regular basis is an absolute must.  Failure to oil the machine regularly, with the proper amount of oil, and you will find yourself in a constant cycle of purchasing new shredders.

When do you oil your shredder?  How much oil?  And, who is in charge of oiling the shredder?

In the past, all of these questions had to be answered in order to keep your shredder running properly.

Now, just follow these simple steps!

  1. Open the front door of the shredder, and on the left hand side, slide out the oil reservoir
  2. Open the yellow oil cap
  3. Fill with a complete bottle of oil
  4. Call Toll Free 866-867-0306 to order more oil, waste bags, and the CleanTEC Air Filter
  5. Remember to keep a close eye on the oil indicator light, located next to the power button.  When the light comes on, repeat this process!
