Kobra 240.1 Classic HS Departmental P6 Crypto Cut Shredder, 99.913

Kobra 240.1 HS P6 High Security Crypto Cut Continuous Duty Shredder – NPSA Rated

Why this high-security shredder is designed for exceptionally sensitive documents

The Kobra 240.1 HS is a professional high-security shredder designed for small and medium-sized offices, public sector organisations and security-conscious workplaces handling exceptionally sensitive paperwork. Its ultra-fine P6 cutting system reduces each sheet into thousands of extremely small particles, making reconstruction exceptionally difficult.

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 provides robust, reliable destruction where significantly greater security than conventional office shredding is required.

P6 High Security Destruction for Exceptionally Sensitive Data

Security level P6 high security micro cut shredding to 0.8 × 9.5mm particles – designed for exceptionally sensitive and highly confidential information where very high levels of document destruction are required.

• Shreds each sheet into approximately 10,000 extremely small particles
• Shreds up to 5 sheets of A4 paper at a time
• Suitable for highly sensitive commercial, financial, government, defence and security-related information
• Carbon-hardened cutting knives are unaffected by standard staples and paperclips
• Also destroys payment cards, chip cards and suitable film materials

The very fine P6 particle size deliberately prioritises document security over sheet capacity, making this model appropriate where the sensitivity of the information being destroyed is more important than maximum throughput.

NPSA Rated for UK Government Use

The Kobra 240.1 HS is NPSA rated and approved for UK Government use, providing a recognised high-security option for organisations that require controlled destruction of particularly sensitive paper records.

• Suitable for government and security-conscious public sector environments
• Provides substantially greater document destruction than standard P4 and P5 office shredders
• Suitable for organisations handling information subject to particularly stringent internal security controls

24-Hour Continuous Duty for Secure Shredding on Demand

• 24-hour continuous duty motor – no timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period
• Allows sensitive documents to be destroyed immediately whenever required
• Motor thermal protection helps guard against overheating
• Carbon-hardened steel cutting knives provide long-term durability
• High-precision cutting system produces the extremely fine P6 particle size with efficient power consumption

Continuous-duty operation is particularly valuable in secure environments where confidential documents should be destroyed promptly rather than accumulated while waiting for a shredder to cool down.

Steel-Gear Chain Drive Built for High-Security Reliability

A significant advantage of the Kobra 240.1 HS 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 high-security cutting head through durable metal components.

• Provides strong and consistent power transmission to the cutting mechanism
• Offers increased resistance to wear during regular professional use
• Avoids reliance on less durable plastic gearing
• Supports the demanding ultra-fine P6 cutting mechanism
• Designed to provide dependable long-term operation in security-conscious workplaces

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

Automatic Operation 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

Energy Smart Standby Reduces Unnecessary Power Consumption

Kobra's Energy Smart management system automatically places the shredder into a 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
• Supports efficient use where the shredder needs to remain readily available throughout the working day
