Mühlen GEN 500 — Desktop Void Fill Machine with a 500 mm Feed Width
Who Is It For?
The Mühlen GEN 500 is a void fill machine for operations that pack orders daily and often work with wide box panels: e-commerce teams, warehouse packing units and manufacturers or wholesalers sending breakable goods. With a 500 mm feed width it takes large flattened boxes in one pass and turns them into soft, flexible honeycomb padding. Using your own waste cardboard on site helps on both packaging costs and waste handling, without setting up an industrial line.
Key Features and What They Do
- 500 mm processing width: Cardboard wider than 500 mm has its excess cut off automatically and separated from the processed void fill.
- Cardboard up to 6 mm thick: Corrugated board and boxes are converted with no length limit.
- 3 metres per minute: Keeps pace with steady day-to-day packing.
- 400 Watt motor, hardened steel blades and reverse latch: Practical power, with an easy way to back out a sheet that does not feed cleanly.
- Rear waste drawer: Collects offcuts behind the machine so the workspace stays clean, while noise stays below 55 dB.
- Fine 3 mm x 2 cm cut form: Produces a soft cushion that surrounds the product in the box.

Usage and Care Tips
Open the power latch and slide the cardboard into the feed intake, using the double-sided scaled ruler to keep each sheet aligned. Empty the rear waste drawer regularly and clear cardboard dust from the feed area. If a sheet stops, press the emergency stop, then use the reverse latch to pull it back before feeding again.
