Kobra 245 TS C2 P5 Micro Cut Continuous Duty Shredder – Soft-Touch Controls & 40L Bin

Why this compact P5 shredder suits security-conscious workgroups

The Kobra 245 TS C2 is a professional micro cut shredder designed for personal workspaces, small offices and busy departments of up to five people. Its 24-hour continuous duty motor operates without a timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period, allowing sensitive paperwork to be destroyed whenever required throughout the working day.

Combining P5 micro cut security with straightforward soft-touch controls, carbon-hardened cutting knives and Kobra's distinctive heavy duty chain drive with steel gears, the 245 TS C2 provides dependable high-security shredding in a compact professional design.

P5 Micro Cut Protection for Confidential 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 9 sheets of A4 paper at a time
• Suitable for personnel files, financial records and other confidential documents
• Produces substantially smaller particles than standard cross cut shredders
• Handles standard staples and paperclips without prior removal
• Also destroys payment cards, chip cards and suitable film materials

NPSA-Rated Security for Sensitive Document Disposal

The Kobra 245 TS C2 is an NPSA-rated shredder approved for UK Government use, making it suitable for public and private sector organisations that require a recognised high-security document destruction process.

• Provides P5 protection for confidential paper records
• Suitable for security-conscious commercial and public sector workplaces
• Supports the controlled destruction of sensitive organisational information

Continuous-Duty Shredding Without Timed Cool-Downs

• 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 long-term durability
• Cutting knives are unaffected by standard staples and paperclips
• High-precision cutting design combines secure shredding with efficient power consumption

The continuous-duty motor is particularly useful where sensitive information must be destroyed promptly rather than accumulated for occasional shredding sessions.

Kobra Steel-Gear Chain Drive for Lasting Reliability

A significant advantage of the Kobra 245 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
• Offers increased resistance to wear during frequent and demanding use
• Avoids reliance on less durable plastic gearing
• Supports the demands of the P5 micro cut mechanism
• Designed to provide dependable long-term operation in professional workplaces

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

Soft-Touch Controls with Clear LED Guidance

The easy-to-use soft-touch control panel provides straightforward access to the shredder's main functions, while LED indicators clearly display its current operating status.

• Responsive soft-touch buttons for convenient operation
• LED indicators provide clear visual status information
• Automatic start and stop through electronic sensors
• Automatic reverse in the event of a paper jam
• Automatic stop, reverse and clearing functions help restore normal operation
• Safety stop when the cabinet door is opened
• Automatic stop when the waste bag is full

Energy Smart Standby & Automatic Power-Off

Kobra's Energy Smart management system places the shredder into power-saving standby mode after approximately eight seconds of inactivity.

• Reduces unnecessary power consumption between shredding jobs
• Automatically returns to operation when paper is presented
• Automatically disconnects the machine from the mains after approximately four hours without use
