Kobra 260.1 Classic S5 Heavy Duty P2 Strip Cut Shredder, 99.917

Kobra 260.1 S5 P2 Strip Cut Continuous Duty Shredder – 80L Bin

Why this shredder is the reliable choice for busy workplaces

The Kobra 260.1 S5 is a robust professional strip cut shredder designed for medium-sized offices and workplaces processing substantial volumes of routine 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, and a substantial 80-litre waste cabinet combine to provide dependable performance for demanding everyday use.

Security Level 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
• Processes up to 25 sheets of A4 paper at 80gsm
  
• Handles standard staples and paperclips without prior removal
• Also destroys CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, floppy disks and payment cards

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

Heavy Duty Engineering & Build Quality

• 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 system supports high sheet capacities with efficient power use
• Oil-free cutting system requires no routine cutter lubrication
• Strong steel cabinet designed for professional workplace use

These durable components are designed to withstand frequent shredding while maintaining reliable performance over extended operating periods.

Heavy Duty Chain Drive & Steel Gear System

A significant advantage of the Kobra 260.1 S5 is its heavy duty chain drive with steel gears. Unlike shredders that rely on conventional plastic gearing, Kobra's robust drive system transfers power directly to the cutting mechanism using durable metal components.

• Provides strong and consistent power transmission to the cutting head
• Offers increased resistance to wear under frequent and demanding use
• Reduces reliance on less durable plastic drive components
• 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 feature of Kobra shredders and contributes significantly to the machine's toughness, durability and reliability.
