Mühlen CD-400
Electric Riveting and Binding Machine
Financial Riveting and Binding Machine
It performs binding by riveting materials such as product catalogs, model catalogs and archive documents at one or more points. Unlike other binding machines, this model uses a different operating system, working with a nylon tube pressing and riveting mechanism.
Riveting Up to 4 cm Thick
With its easy-to-grip, dual-lever drilling and riveting system, the MÜHLEN CD-400 can rivet documents between 1 and 40 mm thick. Its specially developed thermal riveting pin reaches sufficient heat in 15 seconds, allowing it to start riveting quickly.
Improved Mechanical System Structure
Thanks to its extra-strong drilling and riveting system, this model was designed specifically with German engineering for all high-intensity operations. The model carries out binding, tube insertion and cutting, and riveting through separate, dedicated system components handling the entire process.
Fast Riveting
The electrically operated Mühlen CD-400 completes thermal document riveting in as little as 15 seconds. It also features a steel body and internal parts, built to provide many years of service. The heat- and impact-resistant steel riveting pin comes with a 5-year warranty and is ideal for all-day use.
Automatic Riveting and Binding
With its automatic rivet-hole punching and automatic rivet-tube adjustment and cutting system, the model is extremely easy to use. In the first stroke it punches the rivet hole in the document, and in the second stroke it fits the plastic tube into the rivet hole. Finally, it heats both ends of the plastic tube that has passed through the document, causing it to expand and lock tight.
Improved Warning and Alert Systems
Thanks to its warning and alert system, the machine can notify the user with light and sound signals when it is ready for operation. The Mühlen CD-400 binding machine also switches off automatically once it has finished its operations, again alerting the user with sound and light.
Margin Adjustment
The model allows adjustment of the front and side margins, leaving it entirely up to the user how many millimeters in from the corners the riveting is performed. This allows catalogs and other documents to be bound at the desired size and quality. It also features an energy-saving system that automatically switches the machine off after 25 minutes of inactivity.

Mühlen CD-400 — Electric Riveting and Binding Machine for Thick Documents
Who Is It For?
The MÜHLEN CD-400 is an electric riveting and binding machine for offices, print shops and archives that need to hold product catalogs, invoice bundles and archive files together permanently. Unlike other binding machines, it works by pressing a nylon tube through the document and riveting it at one or more points. It handles stacks from 1 to 40 mm thick, so the same machine can secure a thin set of invoices or a 4 cm catalog. Its steel body and internal parts are built for all-day use in high-volume environments.
Key Features and What They Do
- Automatic three-step process: The first stroke punches the rivet hole, the second fits the plastic tube, and the machine then heats both ends of the tube so it expands and locks tight.
- Dual-lever operation: An easy-to-grip, dual-lever drilling and riveting system with separate components for binding, tube insertion and cutting, and riveting.
- Riveting every 15 seconds: The thermal riveting pin reaches working heat quickly, giving a riveting speed of once every 15 seconds.
- Margin adjustment: Front and side margins can be set between 10 and 25 mm, so you decide how far from the corner each rivet sits.
- Sound and light alerts: The machine signals when it is ready and again when it has finished.
- Power-saving standby: It switches to standby automatically after 25 minutes of inactivity; rated power consumption is 120 Watt.
Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness can the CD-400 rivet?
It rivets documents from 1 to 40 mm thick, using a 5 mm drilling hole diameter.
What consumable does the machine use?
It works with plastic riveting tubes, which are fitted and cut automatically during each cycle.
How is the warranty structured?
The machine has a 24-month warranty, and the heat- and impact-resistant steel riveting pin carries a separate 5-year warranty.
How heavy is the machine?
The net weight is 10 kg and the gross weight is 11.1 kg.
Usage and Care Tips
Set the margin before each job according to the document type: a narrow margin for slim invoice sets, a wider one for thick catalogs. Wait for the ready signal before the first stroke so the tube is heated properly. Empty the removable waste bin regularly, since drilling chips collect there with every rivet, and let the standby function take over during breaks instead of switching the unit on and off repeatedly.
