WET TRIMMING: TANDEM M108S SET-UP
When wet trimming with a tandem Mobius line, try starting with the following parameters
and adjust as necessary to reach the desired trim quality:
VFDs
Blades: At full power (11)
Vacuum: At full power (11)
Tumbler: At full power (11)
TUMBLER FILL
When wet trimming, there is no need to rapidly prime the tumblers (unlike dry trimming)
but it is important to maintain the tumblers at approximately 50% – 65% full.
Because it can be difficult to tell how full the tumblers are when they are spinning, observe
how much of the blades are covered by plant material. When the first tumbler is properly
filled, the two blades towards the front of the machine will be completely covered and most
of the back blade, save the 6 to 12 inches closest to the infeed, will also be covered. The fill
level of the second tumbler will taper off in a similar way at the outfeed.
TILT ANGLE
Start with casters at the infeed end of the line approximately 3” off the floor. After the
tumblers have been primed and the feed rate has been dialed in for trim quality, adjust the
tilt angle up or down to maintain the tumblers at 50% - 65% full.
FEED RATE
As the tilt angle is adjusted the feed rate will also need to be adjusted to maintain the 50% -
65% fill level in the tumblers. If the tilt angle is increased, the feed rate will also increase. If
the tilt angle is decreased, the feed rate will also decrease.
