Product Description

Optimax® OCS422 Cardboard Recycling Shredder — High-Throughput, Safety-Compliant Packaging Production for Warehousing & Logistics

The Optimax® OCS422 is a high-capacity cardboard recycling shredder designed for demanding warehouse, logistics and fulfilment operations where throughput, reliability and operator safety are critical. Formerly known as the OP422, this new and improved OCS422 offers an increased 420mm working width and enhanced cutting capability, while continuing to operate from a standard 240V single-phase power supply.

Engineered for continuous, real-world packing environments, the OCS422 converts used corrugated cardboard into high-quality protective matting or bulked void-fill material in a single pass. This enables organisations to reduce packaging costs, streamline waste handling and strengthen sustainability initiatives by reusing cardboard directly at the point of need.

Why the Optimax® OCS422 is specified for higher-volume operations

  • Single-pass cardboard conversion: Specialised roller cutters size and perforate the cardboard before cutting cylinders complete the transformation into protective packaging material.
  • Dual packaging outputs: Produces flexible matting for wrapping products or bulked cushioning material for void-fill applications.
  • Integral width-trimming cutter: Automatically trims excess board width and removes stapled edges, helping prevent contamination and maintain consistent output quality.
  • Engineered for heavier corrugated grades: Processes cardboard up to 18mm thick, covering a wide range of warehouse and distribution packaging waste.
  • High-output performance: Produces up to 6 cubic metres per hour of void-fill material, supporting fast-paced packing lines.
  • Unlimited run time: Designed for continuous-duty operation, making it suitable for sustained daily use.
  • Energy-efficient drive system: IE3-class motor delivers up to 30% improved efficiency, with soft-start technology reducing electrical load, component wear and operating noise.
  • Simple, operator-friendly controls: On / Off / Reverse controls support straightforward use and rapid material clearance.
  • Industrial build quality: Robust metal housing engineered to withstand the demands of busy shipping and despatch environments.

Safety & compliance advantages

  • BS EN ISO 13857:2008 compliant: The Optimax® range is designed to meet and exceed UK and EU safety distance requirements for access to blade mechanisms.
  • Enhanced operator protection: Incorporates a 140mm safety distance, exceeding the 120mm minimum specified by the standard.
  • Emergency stop protection: Fitted with an IEC/EN 60204-1 compliant circuit breaker for immediate shutdown if required.
  • Dust extraction ready: Supplied with a dust extractor outlet to support cleaner operation where extraction systems are in use.

The Optimax® OCS422 is an excellent choice for organisations requiring higher throughput, continuous-duty cardboard recycling with a strong emphasis on safety, efficiency and long-term operational reliability—supported by specialist expertise developed through many years working with professional packaging and recycling equipment.

Do I need a dust extractor? Dust extractors are not essential for use with a cardboard recycling shredder, but some users prefer them. These shredders do not produce much dust, so extraction is typically only needed where customers, recipients, or goods are especially sensitive to very small amounts of dust in the shipping carton; where the shredder is located in a confined space with poor ventilation; or where very sensitive electronic equipment is in the immediate vicinity of the unit.
