Kobra 240.1 Classic HS-6 Departmental P7 Crypto Cut Shredder, 99.914

Kobra 240.1 HS-6 P7 High Security Crypto Cut Continuous Duty Shredder – NPSA Rated

Why this P7 shredder is designed for the most sensitive documents

The Kobra 240.1 HS-6 is an ultra-high-security professional shredder designed for organisations handling exceptionally sensitive, classified and highly restricted paper records. Its extremely fine P7 cutting system reduces each sheet into approximately 20,000 tiny particles, providing the highest paper security level defined by DIN 66399.

Combining NPSA-rated document security with a 24-hour continuous duty motor, carbon-hardened cutting knives and Kobra's distinctive heavy duty chain drive with steel gears, the 240.1 HS-6 is designed for government, defence and other security-critical environments where maximum document destruction is required.

P7 Security for Classified & Top Secret Information

Security level P7 high security micro cut shredding to 0.8 × 5mm particles – designed for classified, top secret and exceptionally sensitive information requiring the highest level of paper document destruction.

• Reduces each sheet into approximately 20,000 extremely small particles
• Shreds 3 - 4 sheets of A4 paper at a time
• Suitable for government, defence, intelligence and other security-critical applications
• Designed for information where reconstruction must be made exceptionally difficult
• Also suitable for shredding film material

This machine prioritises maximum security rather than throughput and should therefore be selected for the sensitivity of the information being destroyed rather than its shredding speed alone.

NPSA Rated for UK Government High-Security Use

The Kobra 240.1 HS-6 is NPSA rated and approved for UK Government use, making it suitable for organisations requiring a recognised high-security paper destruction solution.

• Provides the highest DIN paper security classification of P7
• Suitable for controlled destruction of exceptionally sensitive information
• Designed for government, military, defence and other security-conscious environments
• Security classification: P7 / F3

20,000 Particles from Every Sheet

The ultra-fine 0.8 × 5mm cutting system turns a single sheet of paper into approximately 20,000 micro-particles. This is around twice the particle count produced by the P6 Kobra 240.1 HS and provides a further step up in protection for the most sensitive documents.

• Extremely small particle size makes reconstruction exceptionally difficult
• Provides substantially greater destruction than standard P4 and P5 office shredders
• Designed specifically for applications where information security takes priority over sheet capacity

Continuous-Duty Operation for Secure Destruction on Demand

• 24-hour continuous duty motor – no timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period
• Allows highly sensitive paperwork to be destroyed immediately whenever required
• Motor thermal protection helps guard against overheating
• Carbon-hardened steel cutting knives provide durable performance
• High-precision cutting mechanism produces the extremely fine P7 particle size

Continuous-duty operation is particularly useful in controlled environments where sensitive documents should be destroyed promptly rather than retained while waiting for a shredder to become available again.

Steel-Gear Chain Drive for High-Security Reliability

A significant advantage of the Kobra 240.1 HS-6 is its heavy duty chain drive with steel gears. Unlike shredders that use plastic gearing within the drive mechanism, Kobra's robust power transmission system uses durable metal components to drive the high-security cutting head.

• Provides strong and consistent power transmission to the cutting mechanism
• Offers increased resistance to wear during professional use
• Avoids reliance on less durable plastic gearing
• Supports the demanding ultra-fine P7 cutting mechanism
• Designed to provide dependable long-term operation in security-critical workplaces

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

Automatic Controls for Controlled High-Security Shredding

• Automatic start and stop through electronic sensors
• Automatic reverse in the event of a paper jam
• Safety Stop system automatically stops the cutting mechanism when the cabinet door is opened
• Automatic stop when the waste bag is full
• Generous 240mm feed opening accommodates standard A4 paperwork
• Shredding speed of approximately 0.07 metres per second

Energy Smart Standby Between Secure Shredding Jobs

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

• Reduces unnecessary power consumption between shredding sessions
• Automatically returns to operation when paper is presented
• Keeps the shredder readily available for immediate destruction of sensitive documents

40-Litre Steel Cabinet for Professional Installation

• Practical 40-litre waste capacity
• Strong steel cabinet designed for professional workplace use
• Mounted on castors for easier positioning
• Automatic stop when the waste bag is full
• Electronic door safety system stops the cutters when the cabinet is opened
