Kobra 400 C2 High Performance P5 Micro Cut Shredder, 99.596

Kobra 400 C2 P5 Heavy Duty Micro Cut Shredder – 27 Sheet Capacity, NPSA Rated & 200L Bin

Why this high-capacity P5 shredder suits security-conscious organisations

The Kobra 400 C2 is a heavy duty professional micro cut shredder designed for government departments, large offices and centralised shredding points processing substantial quantities of sensitive paperwork. Its capacity of up to 27 sheets at 80gsm combines with a higher-security P5 cut, exceptionally wide 400mm feed opening and substantial 200-litre cabinet for secure, efficient document destruction.

A powerful 2100W continuous-duty motor supports prolonged everyday use, while carbon-hardened steel cutters and Kobra's heavy duty chain drive with steel gears provide the robust construction required for demanding professional operation. The Kobra 400 C2 is also NPSA rated and approved for UK Government use, making it particularly suitable for organisations requiring independently assessed document-destruction equipment.

P5 Cross Cut Security with 27-Sheet Capacity

Security level P5 cross cut shredding to compact 1.9 × 15mm particles – suitable for highly confidential, commercially sensitive and personal information requiring a higher level of protection.

• Shreds up to 25–27 sheets of A4 paper at 80gsm in a single pass
• Produces compact 1.9 × 15mm cross cut particles
• Suitable for sensitive financial, personnel, legal, medical and commercial records
• Carbon-hardened cutters are unaffected by standard staples and paperclips
• Combines higher P5 security with substantial throughput for a cross cut shredder

The combination of P5 security and a capacity of up to 27 sheets makes the 400 C2 particularly suitable where sensitive paperwork must be destroyed securely without sacrificing the productivity required at a busy shared shredding point.

NPSA Rated for UK Government Use

The Kobra 400 C2 is an NPSA-rated product approved for UK Government use, providing additional assurance for government departments and other security-conscious organisations.

• Rated by the UK National Protective Security Authority
• Approved for use within UK Government environments
• Suitable for organisations requiring formally assessed shredding equipment
• Complements the machine's P5 paper-security classification
• Supports controlled destruction of sensitive paper records

2100W Continuous-Duty Motor for Demanding Workloads

The Kobra 400 C2 is powered by a substantial 2100W 24-hour continuous-duty motor, allowing repeated and prolonged shredding without the timed cool-down periods associated with lighter office machines.

• 24-hour continuous-duty operation
• No scheduled duty cycle or timed cool-down period
• Powerful 2100W motor supports the high sheet capacity
• Motor thermal protection helps guard against overheating
• Suitable for sustained departmental and centralised use

This makes the 400 C2 particularly suitable for shared shredding points where sensitive material needs to be destroyed throughout the working day.

Kobra Chain Drive & Steel Gears for Heavy Duty Reliability

A significant advantage of the Kobra 400 C2 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 the powerful 2100W motor and P5 cutting mechanism
• Designed for dependable long-term professional operation

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

400mm Feed Opening for A4, A3 & Wide Documents

The exceptionally wide 400mm feed opening provides considerably greater working width than a conventional office shredder and is particularly useful for larger-format paperwork.

• Comfortably accommodates standard A4 paperwork
• Suitable for A3 documents without folding
• Accommodates wide-format computer printouts and similar paperwork
• Provides convenient document presentation during bulk shredding sessions

The wide feed opening complements the machine's high sheet capacity and makes the 400 C2 particularly practical for centralised document disposal.

Handles Paper, Cards, Optical Media & USB Drives

The heavy duty main cutting mechanism is designed to destroy a broad range of office materials in addition to paper.

• Paper
• Payment cards
• Chip payment cards
• Suitable film material
• CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs
• Floppy disks
• USB pen drives
• Standard staples and paperclips

These materials are processed by the standard heavy duty cutting mechanism. A separate dedicated media cutting unit is not required for the machine to destroy these materials.

Automatic Electronic Controls for Straightforward Shared Operation

The Kobra 400 C2 uses automatic electronic controls to simplify operation at a busy shared shredding point.

• Automatic start and stop through electronic sensors
• Automatic reverse in the event of a paper jam
• Automatic stop when the waste compartment is full
• Electronic door safety system stops operation when the cabinet is opened
• Motor thermal protection supports safe continuous-duty operation
• Illuminated indicators show Energy Smart standby status

Energy Smart Power Saving Between Shredding Jobs

Kobra's Energy Smart system reduces unnecessary electricity consumption while this powerful shredder is not being used.

• Automatically enters power-saving standby when shredding has finished
• Reduces electricity consumption while the machine is waiting to be used
• Illuminated optical indicators show when power-saving standby is active
• Automatically returns to operation when material is inserted
• Particularly useful for a centralised machine that remains available throughout the working day

200-Litre Steel Cabinet for High-Volume Secure Shredding

• Very large 200-litre waste capacity
• Designed to accommodate the output generated by the high-capacity P5 cutting mechanism
• Reduces the frequency of emptying during prolonged shredding sessions
• Strong steel cabinet designed for professional workplace use
• Mounted on castors for easier movement and positioning
• Automatic stop when the waste compartment is full
• Uses a removable collection bag for straightforward emptying
