Wet Trim & Hybrid Trim Method:
- The average throughput for every Bud Bucker with a single operator should be 20,000 grams (44 lbs.) per hour of fresh flower or 5,000 grams (11 lbs.) per hour of dried finished buds.
Dry Trim Method:
- The average throughput for every Bud Bucker with a single operator should be 2,500 grams (5.5 lbs.) per hour of the dried finished flower.
NOTE: The pounds per hour will nearly double with two operators at a single Bud Bucker.
2) SATELLITE BUD TRIMMER
The key to a quality trim is control. The Satellite is a wet and dry trimmer that offers the most control of any commercial trimmer on the market. It is for the commercial cultivator who requires efficiency but refuses to compromise the quality and integrity of their product.
Key Features:
- Trims 30 lbs. per hour dry and 45 lbs. per hour wet
- 30-45 second batch times (dry), 45-90 seconds (wet)
- Preserves the shape of your flower
- Minimal touch-up due to batch time control
- Filters and separates your trim
How It Works
The Ez Trimmer is not only quiet and lightweight, but also features the following unique adjustable controls:
Flower Movement through Airflow and Suction
The air flow is considered properly adjusted when it moves the product around the grate while also allowing the silicone fingers to separate and roll the product. Properly adjusting the airflow and suction eliminates excessive handling and unnecessary agitation.
Rotation & Separation of Product
This is something you will want to adjust based on whether you are trimming wet or dry product as well as adjusting for different strains. Properly adjusting the rotation and separation will reduce batch times.
Wet & Dry Trim Functionality
Properly adjusting the cutting blade and implementing the different grates for wet and dried product will ensure a quality trim without damaging flowers.
Batch Time Control
The Ez Trimmer allows you to watch the product as it is being trimmed, and adjust cycle times, based on what you see during each batch. Every strain and batch are different, so it is important to adjust accordingly. Proper batch time control ensures that flowers are trimmed to your desired level of quality.
Trim Collection and Filtration
Our patented and unique filtration system comes with four collection bags which have varying micron levels for separating and collecting the leaf as it’s trimmed. The first bag collects the larger leaf & stem. This product from this level is good for extraction and separates most of the chlorophyll filled leaf. The second bag collects your sweet leaf making it excellent for extraction & pre-rolls. The third bag is your B grade keif (green), and the fourth bag is your A grade keif (gold). Separating the trim and keif has a lot of upside for both the extraction and creating new revenue streams. Additionally, these bags can also be utilized for manual dry sifting.
Dry Trim Prep Guidelines
IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THE PRODUCT IS DRIED AND PREPPED PROPERLY PRIOR TO TRIMMING, THIS MEANS, ALL OF THE FLOWERS HAVE BEEN INDIVIDUALIZED, AND THAT THE OUTER LEAVES SNAP, AND DO NOT BEND AT ALL WHEN DISTURBED
We have guidelines in our Shuck to Shelf SOP to help you safely get your product ready for the machine if you do not believe you are currently able to do so. We recommend that the product homogenize to 40-50% RH in order to achieve the ideal outer “crispiness” to and inner “sponginess.” This will allow your product to be trimmed with the maximum efficiency and safety.
