Kobra 245 TS S5 P2 Strip Cut Continuous Duty Shredder – Soft-Touch Controls & 40L Bin

Why this high-capacity shredder works well for busy small offices

The Kobra 245 TS S5 is a professional strip cut shredder designed for personal workspaces and small offices requiring fast, dependable disposal of routine paperwork. Its 24-hour continuous duty motor operates without a timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period, making it suitable for repeated use throughout the working day.

With a capacity of up to 22 sheets, simple soft-touch controls, carbon-hardened cutting knives and Kobra's distinctive heavy duty chain drive with steel gears, the 245 TS S5 combines productive shredding with robust professional construction.

High-Throughput P2 Strip Cut Shredding

Security level P2 strip cut shredding – suitable for internal documents and general business paperwork where high throughput and waste reduction are prioritised over confidential-data security.

• Shreds paper into 5.8mm strips
• Shreds up to 22 sheets of A4 paper at a time
• Handles standard staples and paperclips without prior removal
• Also destroys payment cards, chip cards, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs and floppy disks
• Can process suitable transparent materials

As a P2 strip cut model, this machine is intended primarily for bulk reduction of non-sensitive and lower-security paperwork. A cross-cut model should be selected where confidential personal or commercial information is being destroyed.

24-Hour Motor for Shredding Without Timed Cool-Downs

• 24-hour continuous duty motor – no timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period
• Suitable for regular 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 cutter design supports a high sheet capacity with efficient power consumption

The continuous-duty motor and high sheet capacity make this model particularly useful where larger batches of routine paperwork need to be processed quickly.

Kobra Chain Drive & Steel Gears for Added Toughness

A significant advantage of the Kobra 245 TS S5 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 high sheet capacity and continuous-duty performance
• Designed to provide dependable long-term operation in busy workplaces

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

Soft-Touch Controls for Simple Everyday Operation

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

• Soft-touch buttons for convenient operation
• LED status indicators provide clear visual information
• Automatic start and stop through electronic sensors
• Automatic reverse in the event of a paper jam
• 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 a power-saving standby mode after approximately eight seconds of inactivity.

• Disconnects the machine from the mains after approximately four hours without use
• Supports efficient everyday operation in shared workspaces
