MÜHLEN Mini 308 DC
Mini Size Paper Shredder
The Most Compact Size
The MÜHLEN Mini 308 DC is the most compact paper shredder model in our brand's lineup. Measuring just 20 cm, this model is designed especially for individual desktop use.
Despite its mini size, its powerful motor and blade system deliver performance beyond expectations.
Confetti Cut (Cross-Cut)
It can shred paper and documents into 4x28mm pieces. With a DIN S3 security level shredding standard, the shredded paper cannot be reassembled or read again.
Quiet and Powerful System
With a noise level under 55dB, the MÜHLEN 308 DC model is designed specifically to avoid noise in the workspace. Capable of running continuously for 4 minutes, it can shred up to 3 sheets of paper at a time.
Pull-Out Drawer
Made entirely of transparent material so the user can easily see the fill level, the waste drawer can be easily removed. The MÜHLEN Mini 308 DC automatically stops when the drawer is opened and has a 3-liter waste bin.
A5 Size
With a feed slot width of 120mm, the MÜHLEN Mini 308 DC is A5-sized but can still shred A4 paper by folding it in half. Despite its mini size, it can easily shred all types of documents.
Automatic Document Shredding
With a fully automatic paper shredding system, the machine automatically starts shredding paper placed in the feed slot and stops on its own once shredding is complete. The user can also cancel shredding or pull the document out of the machine by pressing the reverse button in case of a jam.
Sleek & Modern Design
Designed especially for desktop use, the model has a highly decorative and stylish structure. This allows the user to shred documents without sacrificing a creative look. With the sliding switch on the model, the user can turn the machine on, off, or reverse it.

MÜHLEN Mini 308 DC — Compact Desktop Paper Shredder in A5 Size
Who Is It For?
The MÜHLEN Mini 308 DC is a compact paper shredder built for individual desktop use. Measuring 220 x 180 x 200 mm and weighing 2 kg, it suits home offices, single workstations and small offices that shred often but in small amounts. It runs below 55dB, so it can sit on a desk in an open-plan or shared space, and its decorative, modern styling lets it stay in view rather than being hidden under the table.
Key Features and What They Do
- Cross-cut confetti, 4x28mm (DIN P3): Documents are cut into small particles that cannot easily be read, protecting personal information.
- A5 body with 120mm slot: A4 sheets are shredded by folding them in half, so standard paperwork still fits despite the small footprint.
- Automatic feed and stop: Paper placed in the slot is detected and shredded, and the machine stops on its own when finished.
- Sliding switch with reverse: One switch turns the unit on, off or into reverse to cancel a document or clear a jam.
- Transparent 3L drawer: The fill level is visible at a glance, and the machine stops automatically when the drawer is opened.
- Paper and credit cards: It shreds both and is not affected by staples; paper clips and CDs should not be inserted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an A5-sized shredder handle A4 documents?
Yes. Fold the A4 page in half and feed it through the 120mm slot.
How many sheets can it take and for how long?
It shreds 3 sheets in a single pass and runs continuously for 4 minutes, handling around 18-20 documents per minute.
Can it destroy CDs or paper clips?
No. It is designed for paper and credit cards only; remove paper clips and keep CDs out of the slot.
What protection features does it have?
It stops automatically when it overheats, when the drawer is opened and when shredding is finished, and it has a mechanical user protection system.
Usage and Care Tips
Keep each pass to 3 sheets and fold A4 documents before feeding. If the machine stops because of heat after its 4-minute run, let it rest until it has cooled. To cancel a sheet or free a jam, move the sliding switch to reverse. Empty the transparent drawer when the fill level becomes visible, and always use the Mini 308 DC on a flat, stable surface with the drawer fully closed. The machine is covered by a 24-month warranty.
