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 65% – 75% full when dry
trimming and approximately 50% – 65% full when wet trimming. We call this
‘priming’ the tumbler. This means that you will be filling the tumbler relatively
quickly upon start-up and then backing that off to your regular feed rate once the
tumbler is primed. See below for more details on specific trimming scenarios.
2. Proper functioning of the vacuum system is critical to overall performance of the
M108S. Always ensure that the separator is properly assembled and that the trim
tote gasket is in good condition and flush with the separator upon installation. Any
breach 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 flower clusters, etc.).
4. To achieve consistent trimming results, the feed rate to the
machine must be consistent. Once the tumbler is filled 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.
If you are using a conveyor to feed the machine, we
recommend filling the conveyor belt with a single even
layer of plant material. Training operators to use the Infeed
Conveyor in this way will ensure consistency between
operators and make the speed dial on the conveyor a
meaningful trimming parameter.
5. Assuming that the material has been consistently prepared, there are four key
factors that the operator can use to adjust trim quality:
TILT ANGLE
Increasing the tilt angle uses gravity to move the material through the
tumbler more quickly. The higher the tilt angle, the less time the buds spend
in the tumbler and the looser the trim. The lower the tilt angle, the more time
the buds spend in the tumbler and the tighter the trim.
● Dry Trimming: Tilt angle will vary from flat to maximum tilt
