ELCOMAN - Security is our business

ELCOMAN is one of the world leaders in production of office shredders capable to shred paper, CDs, DVDs, Floppy Disks, credit cards and most of all data carriers available in the market. All items are sold under the KOBRA trademark in over 80 countries, through a far-reaching network of agents and retailers and 7 subsidiaries worldwide.


ELCOMAN's mission is innovation and this is what distinguishes us from the competition. We create unique products with high added value, exceptional design, from the most resilient and durable materials such as steel and using patented cutting edge systems based on exclusive technological solutions. Just take a look at the Cyclone system which uses the centrifugal force of high pressure airflow produced by a turbine together with a group of high speed rotating blades to destroy up to 500 sheets of paper at a time and up to 420 kg an hour of paper, CD ROMs, DVDs, Floppy disks, USB Pen Drives, credit cards, cardboard boxes, cans.
To achieve this level of innovation, there has been constant analysis of needs and trends in the global market so as to anticipate future requirements and meet them in advance.

Military and government bodies need to destroy Top Secret documents at the highest security level? Elcoman has exceeded standards on high security with the KOBRA HS with High Security levels 5 and 6, shredding a document into 16,000 tiny shreds which cannot even be reassembled through electronic devices. Top Secret documents cannot be destroyed due to power failure? In the case of an emergency or even a terrorist attack this fear disappears with the KOBRA 260 HS-2 with High Security levels 5 and 6: a special mechanism allows also manual destruction of documents, thus eliminating the risk of important data or secrets falling into the wrong hands.

Optical media should be destroyed at the highest security level? The new shredder KOBRA 400 HS-OM is the only available machine capable to shred CDs, DVDs and credit cards at Top Secret level, through the special 1.5 x 2.5mm cutting system. The tiny size of the shreds doesn't allow any possibility to retrieve or read any information left on small optical media particles even through specific and dedicated electronic equipments.

Competitive technology systems place KOBRA products at the leading edge:

  • KOBRA shredders have chain drive and steel gears with a high carbon content to guarantee maximum resistance to wear and highest durability.
  • Steel strippers and steel combs together with carbon hardened cutting knives for unmatched resistance and durability.
  • No duty cycles, no interruption, because KOBRA shredders work no-stop 24h/24h without overheating and are always ready to go.
  • Solution for destroying entire archives in paper form and massive quantities of data backup: the KOBRA Cyclone shredder can deal with up to 500 sheets of paper at a time as well as credit cards (45,000/hour), CD-ROMs and DVDs (15,000/hour), Floppy discs (7,000/hour), aluminium cans and plastic bottles using its exclusive technology of a turbine producing an airflow and high speed rotating blades. Five different security levels are available including the highest NSA security level and it's always possible to switch the machine to any of the available security levels by a simple modification which takes only a few minutes.
  • Automatic oiler, available as standards on shredders in the KOBRA HS High Security (Levels 5 and 6) range, automatically lubricates cutting knives while the machine is in operation, cutting out the need for manual intervention.
  • A sophisticated Metal Detection system has been developed to protect the High Security KOBRA shredders from the damages caused by the introduction of metal objects of a size which could cause damage to the cutting knives. This special device senses the metal and stops the machine functions before the metal object can reach the cutting knives. A light indicator warns the operator to remove the detected piece of metal.
  • KOBRA shredders are the first to adopt a Touch Screen technology: a large Touch Screen panel located on top of the machine shows all machine functions which can be activated just with a touch of the screen. LED optical indicators are constantly monitoring the power consumption of the machine in order to avoid paper jams. A special function allows to run the machine in forward mode in case of shredding of transparencies or microfilms.
  • The KOBRA Touch Screen line also includes the unique and exclusive AUTO FEEDER optional specially equipped with the patented Anti-Jamming system. KOBRA 245-260-270-310 TS models in four different security levels Cross-cut & High Security are available with the Auto Feed optional device which allows to shred up to 170 single sheets of A4 paper without having the operator by the machine.
  • A special lockable cover with an approved high security lock is available to avoid that documents could be taken away while the machine is shredding unattended.
