Plutoos X72 Cardboard Shredder 500 mm — Desktop Recycler & Honeycomb Cushion Machine, 400 W
The Plutoos X72 is the widest desktop cardboard shredder on the market — with a 500 mm cutting width it handles even bulky shipping cartons in a single pass. Every used cardboard box becomes a flexible honeycomb cushioning material in seconds, ready to reuse for shipping, storage or furniture padding. No more plastic air pillows, polystyrene or bought paper cushioning.
Ideal for online shops, e-commerce sellers, workshops, offices, packing stations, packaging service providers, and anyone disposing of large quantities of cardboard. Instead of spending money on new packaging material, turn your cardboard waste into free, eco-friendly cushioning. The shredded honeycomb material reliably protects glass, electronics, ceramics and sensitive items during shipping — and your customers open a package with zero plastic waste.
The X72 is the most powerful and widest model in the Plutoos desktop series (alongside X70 at 325 mm and X71 at 425 mm cutting width). 400 W motor, 3 m/min cutting speed, cutting thickness up to 6 mm (including double-wall shipping cartons), 220 V standard socket. Shipped from Switzerland, delivery in 1-3 working days.

Why Choose the Plutoos X72 — 6 Engineering Highlights
- 1. High-grade blades (HRC55): high-frequency heat treatment raises hardness to HRC55, blackening surface treatment prevents rust — service life approx. 5 years under normal use
- 2. #45 steel blade frame: high-strength steel instead of cheap 6061 aluminium (which many competitors use) — no deformation when cutting thicker cardboard, much longer machine life
- 3. Panasonic safety switch: Japanese Panasonic switch behind the debris drawer — the original standard switch failed for 30% of customers; with Panasonic we've had zero further complaints
- 4. ZD-brand gear motor: 400 W deceleration motor with 30:1 gearbox, ~400 N torque. ZD Motor (zd-motor.com, listed company) — over 9,000 Plutoos shredders in service across Europe, zero motor-related complaints
- 5. Single-side opening design: no pre-cutting of cardboard required — even irregular cartons feed straight in; oversize sections are cut off and remain reusable
- 6. Cleaning system with 2 brushes + collection drawers: cardboard dust generated during cutting is automatically brushed into the catch drawers — a clean workspace with no follow-up cleaning
- 500 mm cutting width: the widest on the market — even large e-commerce shipping cartons fit in one pass
- Emergency stop, side carry handles, removable drawer: all standard
- Premium build: high-quality materials, robust housing, professional looks — a tool that lasts for years

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What's the difference between X70, X71 and X72?
The three models differ mainly in cutting width: X70 = 325 mm, X71 = 425 mm and X72 = 500 mm. The X72 is the widest and most powerful (400 W motor) — built for e-commerce sellers with large shipping cartons. X70 suits smaller offices, X71 covers mid-size online shops.
2. What cardboard thickness can the X72 handle?
The X72 handles cardboard thickness 0-6 mm — covering single-wall and most double-wall shipping cartons. Equally important is the 500 mm (50 cm) cutting width — the widest on the market. You can shred even the largest e-commerce shipping cartons in a single pass without any pre-cutting. This saves significant time, produces more cushioning material per carton, and makes the X72 substantially more productive than smaller shredders. Very thick 5-ply heavy cardboard can stress the motor; if needed, cut into thinner sections first.
3. What sets the Plutoos X72 apart from cheaper competitor shredders?
Three key engineering upgrades: #45 steel blade frame (instead of 6061 aluminium on cheaper models, which deforms under load), Panasonic safety switch (vs no-name switches that broke for 30% of customers), and ZD-brand motor (over 9,000 Plutoos units sold in Europe, zero motor complaints). Plus HRC55 hardened blades with ~5-year service life.
4. What can I use the shredded honeycomb material for?
The honeycomb cushion is a full substitute for purchased packaging material: shipping protection for glass / electronics / ceramics, void filler in shipping cartons, furniture cushioning when moving, even pet bedding or compost addition. It's 100% biodegradable — your customers open packages plastic-free.
5. Does Plutoos deliver to Switzerland?
Yes, next-business-day delivery when in stock. Stock and delivery date are shown next to the "Add to Cart" button at the top of this page. Free shipping throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein. Due to the weight (44 kg), shipping is by parcel freight.
