CenturionPro Dry Batch Trimmer Model 2 (DBT2) | 20 lbs/hr, Speed Control

CenturionPro Dry Batch Trimmer Model 2 With Variable Speed Control The DBT2 is built to match its cut to each cultivar, because strains trim differently. A tumbler speed dial sits beside the motor switch, so drum speed can be slowed for loose, fragile buds or raised for dense colas. The drum itself measures 13 in across and 23 in long. Rated dry throughput is up to 20 lbs per hour, which covers a small to medium harvest in a working day. A 1/8 HP motor runs it, drawing 1.2 A at 110V through the speed controller. The frame weighs 65 lbs and stands 31 x 19 x 29 in, so it wants a sturdy bench or its own cart. Start every batch at the lowest speed and turn the dial up only as the material allows. Fill the drum 40 to 60 percent with buds of similar size. Runs of 1 to 15 minutes cover most loads, with a check every few minutes. Dry flower at 8 to 10 percent moisture releases its sugar leaf cleanly. Keeping the room at 50 to 60°F holds resin stiff and slows buildup on the blade sheet. Where the DBT2 Dry Trimmer Fits in a Post-Harvest Room Soft tumble action is the core of the machine. Buds roll against a plastic blade sheet with no blower and no lubricant, so trichome heads stay on the flower instead of coating the drum. Speed control adds a second lever to that gentle cut. A slow drum polishes airy top buds without bruising them, while a faster setting works through tight, heavy nugs. Afterward, a 95, 125, 150 or 180 micron kief tumbler swaps in to sift the leftover trim. Two short sifting runs separate a first and second grade of dry sift. Disassembly needs no tools, and the tumbler and tray lift out for a wipe with isopropyl alcohol or warm soapy water. Rotate the blade sheet every ten hours of use so it wears evenly. Give the motor an hour off after five hours of steady trimming. Keep the motor, switch and speed controller dry during wash-down, since none of them is waterproof. Weight is the honest trade here. One person can slide it across a bench, but lifting it onto one is a two-person job. Key Features Variable Speed Control: A tumbler speed dial lets you slow the drum for delicate buds or raise it for dense flower, batch by batch. Soft Tumble Cutting: No blower and no lubricant are involved, so trichomes stay on the flower and the trim stays clean for extraction. Large Single Drum: A 13 x 23 in tumbler holds enough flower per batch to keep a small to medium harvest moving. Dry Throughput: Up to 20 lbs of dry weight per hour finishes most small commercial harvests in a day. Kief Tumbler Compatible: Accessory screens in 95, 125, 150 or 180 micron turn the DBT2 into a dry sifter for the trim bin. Tool-Free Teardown: The tumbler and tray come out without tools, keeping daily cleaning quick during a long harvest.
