A stand-alone self-service document shredding machine that receives the documents, shreds them, and securely stores the shredded documents in a receiving bin for later removal. There is a feeder mechanism that feeds the documents yet protects the user from injury when the shredder machine is operating. The shredded documents are disbursed across the receiving bin. The user interfaces with the shredding machine by means of a touch screen and can pay with a credit or debit card or an account set up online.

The present disclosure is generally related to an apparatus having cutter elements for destroying articles such as paper sheets and a mechanism for separating at least a sheet from a stack in a tray. A paper feed mechanism feeds paper that is separated from the stack by a stack separation mechanism to the cutter elements. The feed and separation mechanisms can be activated by rotation of the cutter elements. In one embodiment, the stack separation mechanism moves in an alternating manner between retracted and extended positions to disengage and engage and insert the stack to separate (with its edge) paper therefrom to feed to the feed mechanism for shredding. The paper stack separation mechanism can move in an non-undulating manner relative to the stack. A device for stripping stapled pages, a pivotable support plate, and pressure plate can also be used, as well as a number of sensors.

Provided is a sheet processing device able to suppress consumption of sheets. The sheet processing device has a supply device that supplies sheets; an image acquisition device that acquires an image of a sheet supplied from the supply device; a first decision device that determines whether or not the sheet can be reused based on the image of the sheet acquired by the image acquisition device; and an inverter configured to discharge the sheet without reversing the first side and second side of the sheet when the first decision device determines that the first side of the sheet can be reused, and reverses the first side and second side of the sheet and then discharges the sheet when the first decision device determines that the second side of the sheet can be reused.

Provided is a glass winding system configured to switch between a breaking mode and a winding mode in which glass is wound with an interleaf to form the glass roll. Furthermore, a system for forming glass rolls includes a glass ribbon supply system (100), a cutting system (200) configured to cut the initial glass ribbon into a first glass ribbon and a second glass ribbon, a first glass winding system (400) configured to wind the first glass ribbon to form a first glass roll, and a second glass winding system (300) configured to switch between a breaking mode and a winding mode.
