Kobra 260.1 C2 P5 Micro Cut Continuous Duty Shredder – 80L Bin & NPSA Rated

Why this shredder is the reliable choice for security-conscious workplaces

The Kobra 260.1 C2 is a robust professional micro cut shredder designed for medium-sized offices and organisations handling sensitive and highly confidential paperwork. Its powerful 24-hour continuous duty motor can operate without a timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period, making it suitable for frequent and extended shredding sessions.

Carbon-hardened cutting knives, Kobra's distinctive heavy duty chain drive and steel gear system, P5 micro cut security and a substantial 80-litre waste cabinet combine to provide dependable document destruction for demanding workplace use.

Security Level P5 Micro Cut Protection

• Suitable for sensitive personal information, financial records and confidential business documents
• Produces substantially smaller particles than standard cross cut shredders
• Handles standard staples and paperclips without prior removal

Heavy Duty Engineering & Build Quality

Heavy Duty Chain Drive & Steel Gear System

A significant advantage of the Kobra 260.1 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.

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