Provided is a shredder that prevents particles from jamming in a shredding mechanism, and shreds the sheet-like objects into such an extremely small size that the sheet-like objects cannot be reproduced. A shredding mechanism (3) includes blade drums (4, 5) in a pair, and a plurality of scraping members (6) for scraping off particles (1a) formed by shredding from an inside of recessed portions located between the cutter portions (4b, 5b) of each of the blade drums (4, 5). A control device (12) includes a determination unit (13) for determining a jam condition of the particles (1a) in the shredding mechanism (3) based on a load applied to a drive device (10) during idling of the shredding mechanism (3), which is carried out by driving the drive device (10) under a state in which the sheet-like object (1) to be shredded is not conveyed in the shredding mechanism (3). |
