Kobra 260 TS S5 Heavy Duty P2 Strip Cut Shredder, 99.805

Kobra 260 TS S5 P2 Strip Cut Continuous Duty Shredder – Dual Cutting Units & 80L Bin

Why this high-capacity shredder suits busy shared offices

The Kobra 260 TS S5 is a professional strip cut shredder designed for medium to larger offices and busy departments requiring fast, reliable disposal of substantial quantities of general business paperwork. Its high sheet capacity, 24-hour continuous duty motor and large 80-litre cabinet allow regular shredding throughout the working day without scheduled cool-down periods.

A particularly useful feature is its separate cutting system for optical media and payment cards. Paper and plastic media are fed through different openings, processed by independent cutting units and collected in separate removable bins, helping keep paper waste apart from plastic and optical media for easier disposal and recycling.

Up to 23 Sheets per Pass for Productive Document Disposal

The Kobra 260 TS S5 shreds up to 23 sheets of A4 paper at 80gsm in a single pass, providing useful throughput for departments and shared office environments.

• Shreds up to 23 sheets of A4 paper at a time
• Fast, straightforward strip cut document disposal
• 260mm paper feed opening comfortably accommodates standard A4 paperwork
• Shredding speed of approximately 0.07 metres per second
• Suitable for regular shared use throughout the working day

P2 Strip Cut Security for General Business Paperwork

The Kobra 260 TS S5 uses a 5.8mm P2 strip cut, providing efficient document reduction for general internal paperwork and lower-security material.

• Security level: P2
• Produces 5.8mm paper strips for efficient high-volume shredding
• Suitable for general office documents where higher-security destruction is not required
• Particularly appropriate where throughput and ease of use are prioritised over very small particle sizes

Important: P2 strip cut shredding is intended for non-sensitive or lower-security paperwork. For confidential personal, financial, HR or commercially sensitive information, a higher-security cross cut or micro cut shredder should normally be selected.

24-Hour Continuous Duty for Regular Departmental Shredding

• 24-hour continuous duty motor – no timed duty cycle or scheduled cool-down period
• Suitable for repeated shredding throughout the working day
• Motor thermal protection helps guard against overheating
• Carbon-hardened steel cutting knives provide durable long-term performance
• Paper cutters are unaffected by standard staples and paperclips
• 500W motor provides dependable power for regular professional use

Continuous-duty operation is particularly useful in shared workplaces where paperwork needs to be shredded whenever required rather than accumulated while waiting for the machine to cool down.

Kobra Chain Drive & Steel Gears for Added Toughness

A significant advantage of the Kobra 260 TS S5 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.

• Provides strong and consistent power transmission to the cutting mechanism
• Increased resistance to wear during frequent and demanding use
• Avoids reliance on less durable plastic gearing
• Supports continuous-duty operation and the high sheet capacity
• Designed for dependable long-term operation

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

Separate Cutting Units for Paper & Optical Media

Unlike many office shredders that feed all materials through the same cutting mechanism, the Kobra 260 TS S5 incorporates two separate sets of cutting knives and two dedicated feed openings.

• 260mm main feed opening for paper documents
• 123mm separate feed opening for CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs and payment cards
• Separate CD cutter shreds to security level O-1 / T-2 / E-2
• Independent cutting units keep paper and plastic media processing separate
• Dedicated media cutters reduce unnecessary wear on the main paper cutting mechanism
• Also accepts chip cards through the separate media entry

This arrangement is particularly practical in workplaces that regularly need to destroy both paper records and electronic or plastic data carriers.

Two Separate Bins Help Keep Waste Streams Apart

The two cutting systems feed into separate integrated removable waste bins, allowing shredded paper to be kept apart from plastic and optical-media waste.

• Helps separate paper waste from plastic and optical media
• Makes sorting waste for appropriate disposal or recycling easier
• Large overall 80-litre cabinet capacity
• Automatic stop when the waste bag is full
• Steel cabinet mounted on castors for easier positioning

Soft-Touch Controls for Straightforward Everyday Operation

The soft-touch control panel provides convenient access to the shredder's main functions, with illuminated status indicators giving clear feedback during operation.

• Responsive soft-touch buttons for convenient operation
• LED indicators provide clear machine-status information
• Automatic start and stop through electronic sensors
• Automatic reverse in the event of a paper jam
• Automatic stop when the waste bag is full
• Electronic door safety system stops the cutting mechanism when the cabinet is opened

Energy Smart Standby & Automatic Switch-Off

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

• Reduces unnecessary electricity consumption between shredding jobs
• Automatically returns to operation when required
• Automatically disconnects from the mains after approximately 4 hours of inactivity
• Helps prevent the shredder being left unnecessarily powered outside working hours
