Pencil Sharpener double with container and lid TEKA MIX, model 590358

The TEKA MIX double pencil sharpener (model 590358) is a compact manual sharpener designed with two sharpening openings to accommodate standard graphite and thicker coloured pencils. It includes an integrated plastic container with a removable lid that collects shavings and prevents mess on work surfaces. The product is intended for everyday use at home, in classrooms, and in offices where simple, reliable pencil maintenance is required.

Advantages

The dual-opening design supports different pencil diameters without requiring blade adjustments, allowing quick switching between graphite and coloured pencils. The transparent container lets you see when it needs emptying, and the removable lid makes disposal of shavings simple and hygienic. The sharpener’s small footprint makes it easy to store in a drawer, pencil case, or on a desk while its manual operation requires no power source.

Suitable for

• Standard graphite pencils used for writing and drawing
• Thicker coloured and artistic pencils
• School classrooms and student pencil cases
• Home study areas and office desktops
• Art and craft projects where compact sharpening is needed

How to use

Insert the pencil into the sharpening opening that matches the pencil diameter and rotate the pencil while holding the sharpener steady, or rotate the sharpener around the pencil to achieve the desired point. Check the transparent container periodically and open the removable lid over a waste bin to empty collected shavings. Replace the lid and ensure the blades are clear of debris before storing. For best results with coloured pencils, use gentle, steady pressure to avoid breaking the cores.

Usage recommendations

Empty the container regularly to prevent clogging, avoid forcing overly long or damaged pencil fragments into the openings, and keep the blades dry to reduce corrosion. If the blade becomes dull, replace it or replace the sharpener to maintain effective sharpening.
