Horizondave Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 When I read these last few posts I am really happy I am not in Thailand (specifically Pattaya). One day, two days but a week of it, and from my experience, they no longer respect the going down of the sun in the small Sois. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually do that once per year, after all of the new documents have arrived. Surprising how it all builds up! My unit will cut out if I have too many to shread, I find keeping the blades lubricated with oil helps. 3 in 1 is my go to oil, but I have used cooking oil in the past to good effect.

I have had a burn up outside in the past and it surprised me how hard it is to totally burn large packed wads of a4 paper. Obviously in an enclosed burner like yours, the heat is so high everything is gone! These days I use a cross shredder for sensitive stuff and the rest of the paperwork goes into the recycling.

Normal cooking rapeseed oil or sunflower oil will do the job! Cooking oils contain unsaturated oils (fats). The autooxidation of the double bonds present in unsaturated fatty acids is the exothermic reaction at the origin of the self-heating process. The degree of unsaturation of fatty acids directly influences the propensity of an oil to undergo self-heating and, eventually, spontaneous ignition. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16225213/#:~:text=The autooxidation of the double,and%2C eventually%2C spontaneous ignition. A pile of shredded vegetable oil soaked paper maybe a fire risk. Edited April 11, 2023 by fygjam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
