Kobra 245 TS HS-6 Departmental P7 Crypto Cut Shredder, 99.896

Kobra 245 TS HS-6 P7 High Security Continuous Duty Shredder – Soft-Touch Controls & NPSA Rated

Why this compact P7 shredder is designed for maximum document security

The Kobra 245 TS HS-6 is an ultra-high-security professional shredder designed for government departments, security-conscious organisations and workplaces handling classified, top secret and exceptionally sensitive paper records. Its extremely fine P7 cutting mechanism reduces each sheet into approximately 20,000 tiny particles, providing the highest paper security level defined by DIN 66399.

Combining maximum P7 document security with straightforward soft-touch controls, 24-hour continuous duty operation, carbon-hardened cutting knives and Kobra's distinctive heavy duty chain drive with steel gears, the 245 TS HS-6 provides specialist high-security shredding within a relatively compact professional machine.

P7 Protection for Classified & Top Secret Documents

Security level P7 high security 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 documents where reconstruction must be made exceptionally difficult
• Also suitable for destroying film material

The deliberately low sheet capacity reflects the exceptionally fine P7 cutting process. This shredder prioritises maximum information security rather than throughput and should therefore be selected according to the sensitivity of the material being destroyed.

Approximately 20,000 Particles from Every Sheet

The precision 0.8 × 5mm cutting system reduces a single sheet of paper into approximately 20,000 micro-particles, providing substantially finer destruction than conventional P4 and P5 office shredders and a further increase in security over P6 high-security models.

• Extremely small particles make reconstruction exceptionally difficult
• Provides the highest DIN paper security classification of P7
• Designed specifically for applications where information security takes priority over shredding capacity
• Cut size exceeds the requirements of the NSA/CSS Specification 02-01 stated by Kobra

NPSA Rated for UK Government High-Security Use

The Kobra 245 TS HS-6 is NPSA rated and approved for UK Government use, providing a recognised high-security solution for organisations requiring controlled destruction of their most sensitive paper records.

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

24-Hour Continuous Duty 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 long-term performance
• High-precision cutting mechanism produces the exceptionally fine P7 particle size

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

Kobra Chain Drive & Steel Gears for High-Security Reliability

A significant advantage of the Kobra 245 TS 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 ultra-high-security cutting head.

• Provides strong and consistent power transmission to the cutting mechanism
• Offers increased resistance to wear during demanding professional use
• Avoids reliance on less durable plastic gearing
• Supports the demanding P7 high-security 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.

Soft-Touch Controls for Straightforward Secure Operation

The soft-touch control panel provides convenient access to the shredder's main functions, helping make everyday operation straightforward despite the specialist P7 cutting mechanism.

• Responsive soft-touch buttons for convenient operation
• Clear operating-status indicators
• Automatic start and stop through electronic sensors
• Automatic reverse in the event of a paper jam
• Safety Stop system stops the cutting mechanism when the cabinet door is opened
• Automatic stop when the waste bag is full

Energy Smart Power Saving Between Secure Shredding Jobs

Kobra's Energy Smart management system automatically places the shredder into power-saving standby mode after a short period of inactivity and incorporates automatic disconnection from the mains for further energy saving.

• Reduces unnecessary power consumption between shredding sessions
• Automatically returns to operation when required
• Keeps the shredder readily available for prompt destruction of sensitive documents

• Practical 40-litre waste capacity
• Strong cabinet designed for professional workplace use
