MÜHLEN P20A
Plastic Spiral Punching and Binding Machine
Less Resistance
Featuring a double-hinged press-lever design that lets the user punch and bind more documents while applying much less force, this model also puts less stress on the machine's moving parts through this system, giving it a longer service life.
High German Engineering
The moving and fixed parts of this German-designed machine are manufactured from steel construction, making it highly resistant to wear and deterioration, and it is engineered to operate for many years without loss of performance.
Functional Tools
The MÜHLEN P20A model lets you comfortably perform punching, aligning and binding of documents on the same machine, creating professional-looking plastic spiral bindings without needing different tools or accessories.
21-Pin Free Punching System
With its system of 21 free pins, the MÜHLEN P20A allows the user to punch holes in documents at any desired spacing. It can also easily remove the pins at the corners of documents, eliminating half-punched holes.
Punches 20 Sheets at a Time
With the power to punch up to 20 sheets of paper at once, the model produces a rectangular hole size of 8x3mm. In addition, thanks to the edge adjustment latch, documents are held firmly in place, allowing much smoother and more professional bindings.

Binds 1–250 Sheets
Thanks to its long comb system, it can comfortably bind between 1 and 250 A4-or-smaller sheets within seconds. The model also features a soft-lever system, allowing binding to be completed in a single, comfortable motion.
3-Level Edge Adjustment & Waste Tray
The removable waste tray allows paper scraps to be emptied easily, while the 3-level (2.5/4.5 and 6.5mm) hole-margin adjustment lets the user set how close to or far from the edge the holes are punched.
