Mühlen Ofen 340C
Paper Shredder (Cross-Cut)
High German Engineering
The MÜHLEN Ofen 340C features a cutting/shredding blade specially manufactured from hardened steel, backed by a 5-year warranty. The blade system, capable of shredding up to 22 A4 sheets per pass, is built with a strong gear and mechanical structure.
Its powerful motor can shred documents non-stop for more than 20 minutes without stopping.
Smart Operating System
Thanks to its powerful capacitor motor system, the machine automatically starts shredding when documents are inserted and automatically stops once shredding is complete.
In the event of motor overheating caused by continuous or excessive operation, the LED light warns the user and the machine automatically stops operation, protecting and cooling the motor.
Super Quiet Operation
The MÜHLEN Ofen 340C operates almost silently, with a noise level below 55 decibels. With user safety as a priority, the model minimizes the risk of injury by taking precautions for every possible accident scenario.
4x25mm Cross-Cut Confetti Cutting
The MÜHLEN Ofen 340C shreds documents at cross-cut level (in 4mm x 25mm particle size) and meets DIN P4 security level according to DIN 66399 standards. This makes it impossible to reassemble or read the shredded documents.
Multiple Feed Slots
With a total of 3 different feed openings — for document shredding, CD/DVD shredding, and credit card/business card shredding — the model breaks down every workload according to its own system to achieve optimal efficiency. It has a total of 4 wheels, two of which are equipped with brakes, for easy mobility.
User Panel & Warning Lights
Featuring ON(Auto)/OFF and Forward/Reverse function keys, the model alerts the user for every status and error via its LED light system. It warns the user with a power light, a waste drawer not inserted light, a waste bin full light, a motor overheating light and a paper jam warning light.
2.8m/Minute Cutting Speed
At micro cross-cut level, it shreds up to 210 A4 sheets per minute (2.8 meters per minute). The 38-liter windowed, removable waste bin lets the user easily see the fill level and allows the full bin to be pulled out like a drawer and emptied easily. In addition, when the waste bin is full, the machine stops operating and warns the user with a red LED light.

Mühlen Ofen 340C — Cross-Cut Paper Shredder with 38L Bin for Busy Departments
Who Is It For?
The Mühlen Ofen 340C is a cross-cut paper shredder for medium to high-volume offices that need DIN P4 destruction according to DIN 66399. Accounting, HR, law firms and organisations careful about personal data and confidential files will find it a good fit. With 22 sheets per pass, a 38-liter bin and a mobile body on 4 wheels, it suits departments where several people share one machine, and those who also need to destroy CDs/DVDs and credit cards can do it all on the same unit.
Key Features and What They Do
- 4x25mm cross-cut confetti (DIN P4): Documents become confetti-like particles that cannot be put back together and read.
- 22 sheets per pass at 2.8 m/minute: Up to 210 A4 sheets per minute, with non-stop shredding for over 20 minutes.
- 530–550 Watt capacitor motor: Starts when paper is inserted, stops when finished and protects itself by stopping and cooling when it overheats.
- Triple feed compartment: Separate openings for documents, CD/DVD and cards; cards are cut to 4x25mm and discs into 27 mm wide pieces.
- 38-liter windowed drawer: The fill level is visible, the full bin pulls out like a drawer, and a red LED signals when it is full.
- Paper clips and staples: Both can be shredded, so documents can be fed without sorting.

Usage and Care Tips
Empty the bin before it is completely full to keep shredding uninterrupted. If paper jams, use the forward/reverse buttons to wind it back. After long sessions beyond 20 minutes, give the machine a rest when the overheating light appears. With a net weight of 19.7 kg, move it on its wheels and engage the 2 brakes once it is in place. Keep an eye on the LED panel to make sure the bin is inserted before you start.
