Dry Trimmer

The Triminator Dry cannabis trimmer can trim up to 20 lbs/hr. 

Fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full for optimal results. Lower fill and overfilling can result in an incomplete trim. 

Yes, most strains of cannabis can be trimmed with a dry trimming machine. Dry trimming machines are designed to trim cannabis flowers after they have been dried, and they typically work well for most strains of cannabis.

Dry trimming machines use various mechanisms to trim the buds, such as spinning blades or tumbling motion. These machines are designed to be gentle on the flowers to minimize damage and preserve the trichomes, which are the resin glands that contain the cannabinoids and terpenes responsible for the plant's effects and aroma.

The main difference between a wet trimming machine and a dry trimming machine is the design of the machine being optimized in relation to the cannabis plant's moisture content.

A wet trimming machine is used to trim cannabis plants immediately after they are harvested, while the plant still has a high moisture content. Wet trimming machines typically use spinning blades to trim the leaves and stems off the buds while they are still wet.

A dry trimming machine, on the other hand, is used to trim cannabis flowers after they have been dried and must be more gentle on the flower. Dry trimming machines use various mechanisms, such as spinning blades or tumbling motion, to remove the leaves and stems from the dried buds.

It's important to clean your dry trimming machine regularly to ensure that it is functioning properly and producing high-quality trimmed bud. The frequency of cleaning will depend on how often you use the machine, as well as the specific model and design of the machine. However, as a general guideline, it's a good idea to clean your dry trimming machine after every use or at least once every few uses.

The best way to clean your dry trimming machine will depend on the specific model and design of the machine, as well as the manufacturer's instructions. There are a few things to look for that will indicate its time to clean the trimmer: Reduced trim quality, a visible buildup of plant material, or excessive noise while operating the trimming machine.
To clean the Triminator Dry Trimmer:

Prepare your trimmer for cleaning. Be sure to unplug the trimmer from any power source.

Two ways to clean:

• Clean with alcohol or hemp oil, let it sit for 30 minutes then wipe the trimmer down, or
• Remove the trim bin and top cover. Cover the control/timer box with a plastic bag (you can pressure wash it, but avoid spraying it directly). Pressure wash entire machine.

By following these cleaning steps regularly, you can ensure that your dry trimming machine remains in good condition and produces high-quality trims for your cannabis harvest.

The ideal moisture content for dry trimming cannabis is around 10-12%. At this moisture level, the buds are dry enough to be easily handled and trimmed without sticking to the blades or becoming too brittle, but still moist enough to prevent excessive damage to the trichomes during the trimming process. 

It's important to note that the ideal moisture content for dry trimming can vary depending on the specific strains of cannabis and growing conditions. Therefore, it's a good idea to monitor the moisture content of the buds regularly during the drying process. By maintaining the ideal moisture content for dry trimming, you can achieve the best possible trim and preserve the quality of your dried harvest.
