MOBIUS TRIMMER M108S USER GUIDE
24
MACHINE START UP SEQUENCE
1. Disengage the e-stop button.
2. Press the blue button to turn on the machine. The lights will turn from blue to white indicating the
machine is ready to begin trimming.
3. Pull out each of the three buttons that control the VFDs (blades, vacuum, tumbler) and turn the
dials to the maximum level (11).
TRIMMING - GENERAL
1. The Mobius M108S performs best when the tumbler is relatively full. Depending on the material,
aim to keep the tumbler approximately 3/4 full. See below for more details on specic trimming
scenarios.
2. Proper functioning of the vacuum system is critical to overall performance of the M108S. Always
ensure that the separator window is installed (sealed into place on aluminum version of the
separator), and that the trim tote gasket is in good condition and ush to the separator upon
installation. Any compromise of the vacuum system will negatively impact trim quality and
throughput and will direct plant material through the impeller and fan housing exhaust.
3. To achieve consistent results, the material being fed into the machine must be consistent. To the
degree possible, ensure that all totes of untrimmed material have been prepared to a relatively
consistent level (i.e. same amount of fan leaves present, same degree of breakdown of larger
ower clusters, etc.).
4. To achieve consistent trimming results, the feed rate to the machine must be consistent. Once
your tumbler is lled to the correct capacity and you have dialed in the quality of trim you are
seeking, aim to maintain a consistent feed rate for the remainder of the trim session.
5. Assuming that the material has been consistently prepared, there are two key factors that the
operator can use to adjust trim quality for wet trimming, and three key factors for dry trimming:
TILT ANGLE: Increasing the tilt angle uses gravity to move the material through the tumbler more
quickly. The higher the tilt angle, the looser the trim. The lower the tilt angle, the tighter the trim
FEED RATE: Increasing the feed rate to the machine will move material through the tumbler more
quickly. The faster the feed rate, the looser the trim. The slower the feed rate, the tighter the trim.
4. Ensure there is an adequate amount of prepared material available at the infeed end of the
trim line and that is within easy reach of the operator who will be feeding the machine.
5. Ensure there is an empty tote on the outfeed end of the trim line to collect the material.
6. Ensure there is an empty trim tote stationed close to the back of the M108S, near the separator.
7. If using conveyors, put them into place and adjust the trimmer to the approximate angle you
expect to be trimming at. For more tips on this, please see the relevant dry and wet trimming
sections of this document.
8. Fill the infeed conveyor belt with material in preparation for beginning trimming operations.
