MOBIUS TRIMMER M108S USER GUIDE

• The Mobius Trimmer can handle pretty much anything you can throw at it, but what you get out
is directly related to what you put in. If you feed material that has been very well prepared, with
all of the larger leaves removed, you can expect to perform less clean-up on the outfeed and to
achieve a high ower to trim ratio. On the other hand, if the material has not been broken down
and a high proportion of the material is larger leaves and stems, you can expect to require more
clean-up of crow’s feet and a much lower ratio of ower to trim.
• At the beginning of a trim session, the material that comes out of the machine in the rst minute or
two will not necessarily be trimmed to the level being sought, since the tumbler is just getting lled
and the tilt angle and feed rate are getting dialed in. To best manage this, Eteros recommends
having two totes available on the outfeed. Over the rst few minutes, material is being collected
in Tote A on the outfeed; once the desired level of trim is reached, swap in Tote B on the outfeed.
The material in Tote A can then be run through the trimmer again or set-aside for touch-up by hand.
In general, our observation is that it is faster overall to spend the time on preparing material
upstream of trimming, and this will always yield a higher value (i.e. higher cannabinoid content)
trim. Some operations are not structured in a way that allows for this, which is no problem, but the
end-user must adjust their throughput and yield forecasts accordingly.
