CenturionPro Dry Batch Trimmer Model 1 (DBT1) | 10 lbs/hr Dry, 110V

CenturionPro Dry Batch Trimmer Model 1 for Small Harvest Dry Trimming Cured flower goes into the drum, the lid goes on, and the machine tumbles each load until the sugar leaf is clipped away. That drum is 9 in in diameter and 18 in long, sitting on an aluminum frame that measures 24 x 13 x 21 in. Rated capacity is up to 10 lbs of dry weight per hour, with the real number set by bud density and moisture. Power comes from a 1/19 HP motor drawing 0.68 A at 110V. It runs on a dedicated 15 A circuit, which most garages and spare rooms already have. At 35 lbs, one person can lift it onto a bench. Load the drum 40 to 60 percent full and run it in short bursts. A typical batch takes 1 to 15 minutes. A look every few minutes lets you stop at a light polish or push on to a tight finish. Material at 8 to 10 percent moisture cuts best. A room held at 50 to 60°F keeps resin firm, so the blade sheet stays sharp longer between cleanings. Running the DBT1 Batch Trimmer Through a Full Harvest The cutting system is deliberately simple: a plastic blade sheet wrapped against the turning drum. With no blower and no lubricant required, buds tumble softly and keep their trichome heads. That matters for anyone saving trim for extraction, because the sugar leaf comes off intact rather than as dust. Once the flower is done, a kief screen in 95, 125, 150 or 180 micron swaps in for the standard tumbler. Running the trim through it for about ten minutes separates the resin heads, and two shorter runs give a first and second grade. Teardown is quick, with the tumbler out in roughly two minutes. Isopropyl alcohol or warm soapy water handles the frame. Rotate the blade sheet every ten hours of running so it wears evenly. Keep the motor and switch dry, since neither is waterproof. There is no speed control here, so drum speed stays fixed and the operator controls the result with run time. The motor also wants an hour of rest after five hours of steady use. Plan a long trim day around that break and the machine keeps pace without overheating. Key Features Soft Tumble Cutting: Buds roll against a plastic blade sheet without blowers or lubricants, keeping trichomes on the flower and the trim. Single 18 in Drum: A longer drum gives each load more contact time with the blade sheet for an even finish across mixed bud sizes. Small Harvest Throughput: Up to 10 lbs per hour turns a home or small commercial harvest into a single day of trimming. Aluminum Frame: A 35 lb aluminum chassis is light enough to lift onto a bench and wipes clean with isopropyl alcohol. Kief Screen Option: Accessory screens in 95, 125, 150 or 180 micron turn the DBT1 into a dry sifter for the leftover trim. Quick Teardown: The tumbler comes out in about two minutes, which keeps daily cleaning short during a long harvest.
