7th February 2007 – UK Office Direct Ltd today announced the inclusion of the Rexel Mercury anti-jamming shredders to its extensive range of office shredding machines. The Mercury range of shredders are available immediately for purchase from UK Office Directs’ website (http://www.ukofficedirect.co.uk) or by telephone on 01793 763555.

Overview of Mercury Technology
The new Mercury Technology from Rexel has created an innovative range of shredders that “think” for themselves and put a stop to jams forever. Equipped with unique technology, the brightly lit paper entry glows red to warn someone if they are trying to shred too much in one go. The red light indicates that the shredder won’t start, so that it can’t jam. The green light signals ‘Go’ ahead and shred – there is no risk of jamming the shredder, meaning an end to fiddling around trying to clear the jam or wasting time picking up the mess left behind.

Mike Griffin, for UK Office Direct says, “This new range of intelligent shredders is great as paper jams are frustrating, time-wasting and costs businesses in lost efficiency. Jams also cause a potential security risk as employees may simply throw away confidential documents and not shred them.”
