Wire Binding Machine
Economical Wire Binding Machine
Among metal wire binding machines, the most economical and most preferred model, the MÜHLEN TD-12, is specially designed for medium and low volume tasks. The model easily performs both document punching and wire binding on the same machine.
Margin and Waste Tray
The model collects the paper scraps left over from punching documents in a removable waste tray, which can be emptied. In addition, it can be easily adjusted with 3 different margin settings of 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 mm, which determine how close to the edge or how far in the documents are punched.
Powerful Punching Blade System
The punching blades of the TD-12 binding machine, manufactured from special steel, come with a 5-year warranty for any eventuality. Designed to deliver years of service without loss of performance, the machine performs smooth and precise punching and binding.
Suitable Material and Binding Sizes
The model uses easily sourced 3:1 (3 holes per inch) wire binding material. In addition, with widths ranging from 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (document thickness), users can choose the material size they need according to the thickness of the binding they will produce (up to 120 sheets).
Punches 12 Sheets at Once
The Mühlen TD-12 model can punch 34 holes of 4x4mm size into up to 12 sheets of A4 or smaller documents at once. In addition, thanks to the special steel handle, maximum efficiency is achieved with minimum applied force.

The model clearly shows the thickness of the material used via the scale on the top of the machine, and with the adjustment dial, the pressure and tightness at which the clamping mechanism performs the binding can be set.
