● Wet Trimming: Tilt angle will vary from flat to maximum tilt
FEED RATE
Increasing the feed rate to the machine will move (push) material through the
tumbler more quickly. The faster the feed rate, the looser the trim. The slower
the feed rate, the tighter the trim.
● Dry Trimming: Feed rate will vary depending on material and amount of
leaf to be trimmed
● Wet Trimming: Feed rate will vary depending on material and amount
of leaf to be trimmed
TUMBLER SPEED
Adjusting the tumbler speed, especially when trimming dry, will help ensure
that all of the buds have access to the blades. Faster tumbler speeds are
appropriate when the material is particularly dense or heavy (i.e. wet
trimming). When the material is lighter or less dense (i.e. dry trimming), slower
tumbler speeds will allow for the buds to mix in the tumbler so that there is
even access to the blades.
● Dry Trimming: Tumbler speed will likely be in the range of 3 – 8
● Wet Trimming: Tumbler speed will be at maximum
VACUUM
Vacuum dictates how tightly the material in the tumbler is pulled towards the
blades and how long the material spends in the tumbler. Reducing the
vacuum will allow material to flow through the tumbler quicker with a looser
trim; increasing the vacuum holds the material in the tumbler longer and
tightens the trim.
● Dry Trimming: Vacuum will be at maximum for most runs. Only with
particularly light, larfy material will the vacuum be reduced.
● Wet Trimming: Vacuum will be at maximum
6. Once the desired trim quality has been dialed in, the job of the resources on the
outfeed is to perform QC on the material. The specific criteria to look for are
established by the end user and could include things like bud size or mold, but
with respect to trimming, it is generally crow’s feet that the QC line is on the
lookout for. As a general rule of thumb, a bud that requires 2 – 3 snips to clean up
should get addressed on the outfeed line; a bud that requires more than that
should be set aside in a separate bin for clean-up off of the outfeed line or run
through the machine a second time. If more than 5% of material is being set aside
like this, consider adjusting the machine parameters to tighten up the trim.
