DL Wholesale 16 in Clear Top Bowl Leaf Trimmer. Hand Crank, Stainless Blade

How the DL Wholesale 16 Inch Bowl Trimmer Works A clear plastic dome sits over the bowl, so every bud stays in view while the crank turns. Turning the handle sweeps material across a slotted grate while a stainless steel straight blade spins underneath. Leaf that drops through the slots gets clipped, and the flower rides on top of the grate. The cutting action works like about 30 pairs of scissors at once. The current build uses metal gears and a metal shaft, thicker blades and rubber fingers. The unit measures 16.73 x 16.73 in across and stands 10.63 in tall. At about 13.45 lb, it carries easily from the drying room to a work table. One straight blade comes in the box, and straight and wire cross replacement blades are made for this bowl. The handle lifts off after a session, so the trimmer stores on a shelf without a crank sticking out. No cord or outlet is needed, which keeps it useful in a barn, shed or garage. Running a Clear Top Bowl Trimmer Through a Harvest A clear top bowl trimmer suits small harvests, herb gardens and batches of flowers for oils, aromatherapy blends and potpourri. Strip fan leaves first, then load a loose layer of buds rather than filling the bowl to the rim. Room to roll gives every side of the flower a pass over the blade. Crank at an even, moderate pace and watch the material through the dome. Stop as soon as the sugar leaf is gone, because extra turns start shaving the flower itself. Fresh, wet material sheds leaf most easily, while dry buds are more fragile and need fewer, slower turns. Empty the clippings after each batch so the next load cuts just as cleanly. Scrape resin off the blade and grate every few batches to keep the cut sharp. Check that the blade sits flat and snug at the start of each session, since a loose blade drags and tears. Wash and dry every part fully before packing the trimmer away for the season. Key Features Clear top dome: Shows exactly when each batch is clean.
