Kobra 240.1 Classic C4 Departmental P4 Cross Cut Shredder, 99.912

Kobra 240.1 C4 P4 Cross Cut Continuous Duty Shredder – 40L Steel Cabinet

Why this compact Kobra is suited to regular confidential shredding

The Kobra 240.1 C4 is a professional cross cut shredder designed for small and medium-sized offices that regularly dispose of confidential paperwork. Its 24-hour continuous duty motor can operate without a timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period, supporting frequent shredding throughout the working day.

Combining P4 document security with carbon-hardened cutting knives, Kobra's distinctive heavy duty chain drive and steel gears, and a practical 40-litre cabinet, the 240.1 C4 is built to provide dependable performance without occupying excessive office space.

P4 Cross Cut Security for Confidential Office Records

Security level P4 cross cut shredding – ideal for general commercial, financial, HR, student and patient data, for example.

• Shreds up to 13 sheets of A4 paper at a time
• Suitable for customer information, personnel records and routine confidential paperwork
• Handles standard staples and paperclips without prior removal

Built for Uninterrupted Daily Shredding

• 24-hour continuous duty motor – no timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period
• 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 supports productive shredding with efficient power consumption
• Strong steel construction designed for professional workplace use

The continuous-duty motor makes this model particularly useful in offices where shredding is carried out regularly throughout the day rather than in short, occasional sessions.

Kobra Steel-Gear Drive for Long-Term Reliability

A significant advantage of the Kobra 240.1 C4 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 shredder's continuous-duty motor and cross-cut mechanism
• Designed to provide dependable long-term operation in busy workplaces

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

Energy Smart Standby Reduces Unnecessary Power Use

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

• Reduces unnecessary energy consumption between shredding sessions
• Automatically returns to operation when paper is presented
• Supports efficient everyday use in shared office environments
