Kobra 400HS High Security P6 Crypto Cut Shredder, 99.587

Kobra 400 HS Auto-Oiler P6 High Security Shredder – 16 Sheet Capacity, NPSA Rated & 200L Bin

Why this high-capacity P6 shredder suits government and security-conscious organisations

The Kobra 400 HS Auto-Oiler is a powerful high security cross cut shredder designed for government departments, military bodies and other organisations processing substantial quantities of classified, highly confidential or commercially sensitive paperwork. Its capacity of up to 16 sheets at 80gsm combines with an exceptionally wide 400mm feed opening, P6 document security and substantial 200-litre cabinet for secure, efficient centralised shredding.

A special 0.8 × 9.5mm cutting system reduces each A4 sheet into approximately 10,000 extremely small particles. The machine also combines a powerful 2100W continuous-duty motor with an integrated automatic oiling system, carbon-hardened steel cutters and Kobra's heavy duty chain drive with steel gears for dependable operation in demanding high-security environments.

P6 High Security Shredding to 0.8 × 9.5mm Particles

Security level P6 cross cut shredding to extremely small 0.8 × 9.5mm particles – designed for highly confidential, classified and security-sensitive documents requiring protection substantially beyond ordinary commercial P4 or P5 shredding.

• Shreds up to 13–15 sheets of A4 paper at 80gsm in a single pass
• Reduces each A4 sheet into approximately 10,000 particles
• Suitable for highly confidential, classified and commercially sensitive paperwork
• Carbon-hardened steel cutting knives provide durable professional construction
• Combines very high P6 security with substantial throughput for this particle size

The extremely small particle size makes reconstruction and interpretation of destroyed documents exceptionally difficult, including where specialised electronic imaging equipment might otherwise be used.

NPSA Rated & Approved for UK Government Use

The Kobra 400 HS Auto-Oiler 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 P6 paper-security classification
• Supports controlled destruction of highly sensitive paper records

Kobra states that this high-security model has been tested and approved by international governments and military bodies and is used by US government security organisations. Users working to a particular government security policy should confirm that the machine's approved use and particle size meet the requirements applying to the specific classification being destroyed.

High 16-Sheet Capacity for a P6 Shredder

Higher-security shredders normally process fewer sheets per pass because of the intensive cutting required to produce much smaller particles. The Kobra 400 HS Auto-Oiler provides a comparatively substantial 13–16 sheet capacity at 80gsm.

• Supports efficient destruction of larger volumes of sensitive paperwork
• Reduces the time required for controlled document-disposal projects
• Suitable for several authorised users or a centralised secure shredding point
• Integrated automatic lubrication helps maintain available cutting performance

This combination of P6 security and professional capacity makes the machine particularly suitable where very small particles are required but low-volume desktop shredding would be impractical.

Integrated Automatic Oiler Maintains Cutting Performance

The Kobra 400 HS Auto-Oiler includes a special integrated automatic oiling system as standard. Its components and oil reservoir are installed within the shredder, producing a self-contained system that automatically lubricates the high-security cutting mechanism during operation.

• Automatically lubricates the cutting knives at intervals determined by use
• Helps maintain consistent high-security shredding performance
• Keeps the cutting mechanism lubricated during prolonged workloads
• Reduces unnecessary friction and strain on the precision cutters
• Low-oil indicator alerts the operator when the oil reservoir requires attention
• Uses suitable Kobra oil for the integrated lubrication system

Automatic lubrication is particularly valuable on a P6 shredder producing extremely small particles, helping the cutting mechanism maintain dependable capacity during demanding workloads.

2100W Continuous-Duty Motor for Demanding Workloads

The Kobra 400 HS Auto-Oiler 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 intensive P6 cutting mechanism
• Motor thermal protection helps guard against overheating
• Suitable for sustained centralised and high-security use

This makes the machine suitable for controlled shredding points where sensitive documents may need to be destroyed throughout the working day.

Kobra Chain Drive & Steel Gears for Heavy Duty Reliability

A significant advantage of the Kobra 400 HS Auto-Oiler 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 precision P6 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 classified or sensitive 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 controlled bulk-shredding sessions

The wide feed opening complements the machine's P6 capacity and makes it particularly practical for centralised high-security document destruction.

Handles Paper, Cards, Optical Media & Film

The high security cutting mechanism is designed to destroy several forms of paper and office media.

• Paper documents
• Payment cards
• Chip payment cards
• CDs and DVDs
• Suitable film material

Security classifications differ according to the material being destroyed. The machine provides P6 security for paper, with its full ISO/IEC 21964 classification stated in the specifications below.

Automatic Electronic Controls for Straightforward Operation

The Kobra 400 HS Auto-Oiler uses automatic electronic controls to simplify operation while providing important safety and status functions.

• Automatic start and stop through electronic sensors
• Automatic reverse in the event of an accidental 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
• Low-oil indicator helps ensure the automatic lubrication system remains operational

Energy Smart Power Saving Between Shredding Jobs

Kobra's Energy Smart system reduces unnecessary electricity consumption while this powerful high-security 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 paper 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 P6 cutting mechanism
• Reduces the frequency of emptying during prolonged shredding sessions
• Strong steel cabinet designed for professional high-security environments
• Mounted on castors for easier movement and positioning
• Automatic stop when the waste compartment is full
