Kobra 270 TS C2 Heavy Duty P5 Micro Cut Shredder, 99.840

Kobra 270 TS C2 P5 Micro Cut Continuous Duty Shredder – EPC, 110L Bin & NPSA Rated

Why this P5 shredder suits security-conscious larger offices

The Kobra 270 TS C2 is a professional micro cut shredder designed for medium to larger offices and busy departments handling sensitive and highly confidential information. Its P5 cutting system reduces documents to fine 1.9 × 15mm particles, providing substantially greater protection than conventional cross cut shredders while retaining practical capacity for regular shared use.

Soft-touch controls are combined with Kobra's EPC Electronic Power Control, which monitors the shredding load to help users make effective use of the available capacity without overfeeding the machine. A 24-hour continuous duty motor, 110-litre cabinet and Kobra's heavy duty chain drive with steel gears support dependable everyday operation.

P5 Micro Cut Security for Sensitive Information

Security level P5 micro cut shredding to 1.9 × 15mm particles – ideal for sensitive data in commercial, financial, HR, medical, government and defence environments, for example.

• Shreds up to 10 sheets of A4 paper at 80gsm in a single pass
• Produces fine 1.9 × 15mm particles for substantially increased document security
• Suitable for sensitive personal, financial, medical and commercially confidential information
• Carbon-hardened paper cutters accept standard staples and paperclips
• Also capable of destroying suitable film material

NPSA Rated for UK Government Use

The Kobra 270 TS C2 is NPSA rated and approved for UK Government use, making it suitable for organisations requiring recognised secure destruction of sensitive paper records.

• Suitable for government and security-conscious public sector environments
• Provides P5 protection for sensitive and highly confidential information
• Security classification: P-5 / T-5 / E-4 / F-2

EPC Load Monitoring Helps Prevent Overfeeding

Kobra's EPC Electronic Power Control monitors the amount of paper being presented to the cutting mechanism and provides the user with a visual indication of the current shredding load.

• Helps users make effective use of the available sheet capacity
• Provides a visual indication of the current paper load
• Helps reduce unnecessary jams caused by overfeeding
• Supports efficient shredding during larger secure document-disposal jobs

24-Hour Continuous Duty for Regular Secure Shredding

• 24-hour continuous duty motor – no timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period
• Suitable for repeated shredding throughout the working day
• Motor thermal protection helps guard against overheating
• Carbon-hardened steel cutting knives provide durable long-term performance
• 500W motor provides dependable power for regular professional use
• High-precision cutter design combines fine P5 shredding with practical sheet capacity

Continuous-duty operation makes the 270 TS C2 particularly suitable for shared workplaces where sensitive documents should be destroyed promptly rather than accumulated while waiting for a shredder to cool down.

Kobra Chain Drive & Steel Gears for Added Toughness

A significant advantage of the Kobra 270 TS C2 is its heavy duty chain drive with steel gears. Unlike shredders that use plastic gearing within the drive mechanism, Kobra's Super Potential Power System transfers power to the cutting head through durable metal components.

• Provides strong and consistent power transmission to the cutting mechanism
• Increased resistance to wear during frequent and demanding use
• Avoids reliance on less durable plastic gearing
• Supports continuous-duty operation and the fine P5 cutting mechanism
• Designed for dependable long-term operation

This robust drive construction is a distinctive Kobra feature and contributes significantly to the machine's toughness, durability and reliability.

Separate Cutting Units for Paper & Optical Media

Unlike many office shredders that feed all materials through the same cutting mechanism, the Kobra 270 TS C2 incorporates two separate sets of cutting knives and two dedicated feed openings.

• 310mm main feed opening for paper documents
• 123mm separate feed opening for CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs and payment cards
• Separate CD cutter shreds to security level O-1 / T-2 / E-2
• Independent cutting units keep paper and plastic media processing separate
• Dedicated media cutters reduce unnecessary wear on the main paper cutting mechanism
• Also accepts chip cards through the separate media entry

This arrangement is particularly practical in workplaces that regularly need to destroy both sensitive paper records and electronic or plastic data carriers.

Separate Collection Bins Help Keep Waste Streams Apart

The two cutting systems feed into separate integrated removable bins, helping keep shredded paper apart from plastic and optical-media waste.

• Helps separate paper waste from plastic and optical media
• Makes sorting different waste streams easier
• Large overall 110-litre cabinet capacity
• Automatic stop when the waste compartment is full
• Steel cabinet mounted on castors for easier positioning

Soft-Touch Controls for Straightforward Secure Operation

The soft-touch control panel provides convenient access to the shredder's main functions, with illuminated indicators and EPC load information giving clear feedback during operation.

• Responsive soft-touch buttons for convenient operation
• Clear operating and load-status indicators
• Automatic start and stop through electronic sensors
• Automatic reverse in the event of a paper jam
• Automatic stop when the waste compartment is full
• Electronic door safety system stops the cutting mechanism when the cabinet is opened

Energy Smart Standby & Automatic Switch-Off

Kobra's Energy Smart management system automatically places the shredder into power-saving standby mode approximately eight seconds after shredding has finished.

• Reduces unnecessary electricity consumption between shredding jobs
• Automatically returns to operation when required
• Automatically disconnects from the mains after approximately 4 hours of inactivity
• Helps prevent the shredder being left unnecessarily powered outside working hours

110-Litre Cabinet for Busy Shared Environments

• Large 110-litre waste capacity
• Reduces the frequency of emptying during regular micro cut shredding
• Strong steel cabinet designed for professional workplace use
• Mounted on castors for easier movement and positioning
• Automatic stop when the waste compartment is full
• Electronic door safety switch protects the operator when the cabinet is opened

Maintaining the P5 Micro Cut Mechanism

Correct lubrication helps maintain cutting performance, reduce unnecessary strain and prolong the working life of the P5 cutters, particularly when the shredder is used regularly in a busy shared environment.
