HOW THE CYCLONE WORKS
KOBRA Cyclone is equipped with a turbine generating
a high pressure air-flow and sets of high speed rotating
blades.By making the air stream spin,particles of
shredded material are subjected to centrifugal forces
and deposited from the air- flow into the disposal bag.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
[Tav.E and Tav.D]
5 different Security Levels are available with the Kobra
Cyclone.It is possible to switch the machine to any of
the available Security Levels by following the
instructions in the following 8.2 paragraph.This unique
feature allows the Cyclone to produce the output
particles which meet the requirements of the most
demanding applications in terms of bulk
reduction,shredding speed and security.
The highest Security Level (Level 6) sets the machine
for high security shredding,maximum bulk reduction of
shredded material and minimum shredding output
hour.At the other end of the spectrum the lowest
Security Level sets the machine for minimum bulk
reduction of shredded material and maximum shredding
output per hour.Shredding capacity of the Cyclone will
remain at 500 sheets of A4 paper (70 gr/sqm)
regardless of the Security Level installed.The following
is a helpful guide for choosing the correct set up of the
KOBRA Cyclone:
Level 006
o
High Security shredding for very classified
shredding.Military and Government use.
Similar to Level 6 Din 32757
Maximum bulk reduction.
Only shredding of paper is suggested
Shredding output 70/80 Kg (155-180 lbs) per hour
Level 005
o
High Security,suitable for Embassies,Military and
Government offices.
Similar to Level 5 Din 32757
Very high bulk reduction of shredded material
Only shredding of paper is suggested
Shredding output 100/120 Kg (225-265 lbs) per hour
Level 004
o
Suitable for destruction of classified documents.
Similar to Level 4 Din 32757.
Increased bulk reduction of shredded material
Shredding output 200-230Kg(445-500 lbs) per hour
Level 003
o
Suggested for most common commercial shredding
jobs.Similar to Level 3 Din 32757
Combines an excellent degree od security,bulk
reduction of shredded material and shredding output.
Shredding output 300-320Kg(670-715 lbs) per hour
Level 002
o
Low degree of bulk reduction of shredded paper.
Shredding output 400-420Kg(900-940lbs)per hour

OPERATION
( Tav.D-Tav.E-Tav.F)
Before the KOBRA Cyclone is turned on check If :
Filter bag (S) has been installed
o
Plastic waste bag (R) has been correctly
o
installed and fixed to the Cyclone terminal with
its metal ring
Trolley (Q) is regularly in place
o
and fixed to the machine with its metal pins
The machine is correctly connected to the main
o
three phases power supply .
The KOBRA Cyclone can be easily operated .
Turn main switch (U) [Tav.E-Fig.2] from position
o
"0" into position "I".Stand-by light (B) located on
panel board will lit up
Press the "Start" button (D) on panel board
o
[Tav.d-Fig.6] .Turbine motor and vacuum
system motor will start
Open entry cover (7) [Tav.E-Fig.2] and drop the
o
material to shred into the entry opening of the
Cyclone.If the quantity of material inserted is
per
small or the weight is very light,the material
itself cannot open the second entry flap to the
shredding chamber.By rotating the handle (T)
[Tav.E-Fig.2] located on the right side of the
machine the entry flap can be opened and
have the material directed into the shredding
chamber.
Continuous shredding operations can be effectively
performed by following the indications of the "LOAD
METER" (C) [Tav.D-Fig.6].
The LOAD METER detects the actual load on the
Turbine/blades system and it shows the operator how
much paper or quantity of material can be inserted into
the machine.
LOAD METER green area= 100% capacity available
LOAD METER yellow area= 50% capacity available
LOAD METER red area= No capacity available.Do not
insert any material!
The Cyclone can be loaded with material to shred only
when the load meter is on the green area or yellow area
(50% only or 100%).
In case the Cyclone is overloaded the automatic
thermal protection of the main relay can activate. If this
automatic protection has been activated by an overload
of material,it is required to leave the machine off for
few minutes and then re-start the machine with the
START button.
The KOBRA Cyclone is equipped with an automatic
system which turns the machine in its Stand-By position
when the shredding of the material has been
completed.
It is not therefore required to stay next to the machine to
wait for the end of the shredding of the material
inserted.
