blades. This will hold the material in the tumbler and prevent it from spilling out
the end in a big batch during start-up.
6. Once the vacuum has ramped up to full power (approximately 5 seconds), turn on
the blades, tumbler, and, if using them, the Infeed and Outfeed Conveyors.
HOT SWAPS
The Mobius M108S was designed in a way that enables speedy swap-out of all
plant-touching components. Depending on the material being run (wet, dry, strain, etc.),
the temperature in the room, and a variety of other factors, some or all of these
plant-touching parts may need to be changed out during a trim session. We call this a ‘hot
swap’.
Wet trimming a very sticky strain in a warm room may require performing a hot swap after
only 90 minutes, while dry trimming in a cool room might not require a hot swap at all,
even after six hours. Under normal operating conditions, hot swaps are typically performed
every 2 – 5 hours during trimming.
To perform a hot swap, take the following steps:
1. Ensure that one of the trim team resources in the room is assigned to keep an eye
out for when it is time to perform a hot swap.
2. When it’s time for a hot swap, stop the conveyors (if using them), turn off the
blades, vacuum, and tumbler by pressing the dials on the control panel, and
activate the e-stop switch.
3. Open the lid of the machine to inspect the tumbler, brush, bed knives, spacer bars,
and helical blades. Determine what parts require swap-out:
● Resin tends to build up fastest on the bed knives, so these will likely be
changed on every hot swap.
● If wet trimming, it is a good idea to keep the brush clean. Either swap in a new
brush or remove the one in use, run a hand up and down the brush to clear off
any plant material stuck in the bristles and reinstall it in the lid.
● Tumbler, spacer bars, and helical blades may or may not need to be swapped
out. Assess resin build-up and swap out these parts as necessary.
● Since the machine is already at a stop, it is usually a good idea to empty or
swap out the trim tote at this time as well.
