MÜHLEN 20Lt-C
Cross-Cut Paper Shredder
Low Noise Level & Long Operating Time
Designed with advanced German engineering, this model is built for medium-to-heavy use. The MÜHLEN HS12C, with its 20-liter waste bin, runs non-stop for 20~30 minutes (an average of 10 hours of use per day) at a noise level below 55dB.
Confetti Cutting Style
With confetti-style cutting (4x35mm) and a shredding speed of 2.5 meters per minute, the MÜHLEN 20Lt-C can shred up to 12 sheets at once. In other words, it can shred about 100 sheets per minute and up to 10,000 sheets per day into confetti, making it ideal for shared office use.
Long Operating Time
Thanks to its powerful motor and components that can run non-stop for 20–30 minutes, it is ideal for medium-to-heavy use throughout the day. The MÜHLEN HS12C, the most economical model in its class, can shred up to 2700 sheets of paper continuously, while also easily destroying media such as CDs/DVDs and credit cards.
Fully Automatic System
Equipped with an automatic sensing sensor, our model starts working the instant a document is placed in the feed slot and stops automatically once shredding is complete. In the event of a paper jam, the machine stops automatically and offers the possibility to easily clear the jam using the forward and reverse buttons.
Safe Against Injuries
With its improved feed opening, it does not allow any possible hand or finger injuries under any circumstances. The MÜHLEN 20Lt-C, whose waste bin drawer automatically stops operation when opened, has its blade and feed opening additionally equipped with safety systems for zero injury risk.
Smart and User-Friendly
It features smart, illuminated warning systems that alert the user when the waste bin drawer is opened, when the waste bin is full, when a jam occurs due to overloading with documents, or when the motor needs to cool down after running continuously for more than 30 minutes. In addition, the machine has 4 wheels, 2 of which have brakes, for easy transport within the office.
Fast, Powerful & Quiet
With a shredding speed of 2.5 meters per minute and the ability to shred up to 12 sheets at once, the model's cutting blades are made of reinforced special steel and come with a full 5-year warranty.

Usage and Care Tips
Do not exceed 12 sheets per pass, as overfeeding can cause jams. When the warning light reports that the motor is warm, give the shredder a short cooling break instead of pushing past the 20–30 minute run time. Empty the bin before it fills and close the drawer fully, otherwise the safety system will not let the machine start. Lock the 2 braked wheels once the 20Lt-C is in place, and check that the mains supply matches the 220-240-260V operating range.
