With its 4-wheel system (2 of which have brakes), the model can be easily moved around the office, and thanks to its wide 220mm feed opening, it easily handles normal-density workloads.
DIN P5 Micro-Cut
The MÜHLEN Zähen 280M, which has DIN P5 security level, destroys documents by cutting them into 4x12mm pieces so that they cannot be reassembled or read.

With a non-stop operating time of 2~5 minutes, the model can shred 12 sheets of paper at once thanks to its powerful motor and specially sharpened blades.

Drawer-Type Waste Bin
The model has a 13.25-liter waste bin that can be easily pulled out like a drawer, and thanks to the transparent window on the waste bin, the user can easily check the fill level.
User-Friendly Panel
Thanks to its LED light system, the model warns the user of situations such as overheating, paper overload, an open waste bin, and automatic operation, and with its sliding switch, the machine can be turned on/off and can also perform reverse/retrieve operations.

Usage and Care Tips
Avoid putting more than 12 sheets into the feed opening at once, as overloading can cause a jam; if it happens, slide the switch to reverse to retrieve the paper. Respect the 2~5 minute run time and let the shredder rest when the overheating LED lights up. Empty the drawer before it overflows. Lock the 2 braked wheels once the machine is in place. Noise stays below 72 dB, and the shredder is covered by a 24-month full warranty.
