Twister T2 Trimmer Rails, Single. 0 to 8 Degree Pitch, 31 lbs

What the Twister T2 Rails Actually Adjust The rails are a stand with a deliberate angle in them, and the angle is the point. Adjustment runs from 0 to 8 degrees, which works out as 3.9 in of lift, or 98.5 mm. That is the whole specification, and on its own it means very little. What the angle actually does for a room is worth spelling out. Material entering a tumbler travels along it under gravity and under the push of the airflow. Steepen the rails and it travels faster. Faster through the drum means less time against the blade, so throughput goes up and the trim comes out looser. Flatten the rails and the opposite happens. Material dwells longer, the cut gets closer, and the machine processes less per hour. So the adjustment is not a convenience. It is the dial that sets where a room sits between speed and finish. It can be changed between batches rather than being decided once. A grower running dense, well trimmed flower one week and bulk the next has a reason to move it. The set weighs 31 lbs, so it is a two person lift rather than a part someone carries in. Building a Twister T2 Tandem Line Two machines running one after another is the usual next step for a room that has outgrown a single trimmer. The rails are part of how that is done, and the parts list is easy to get wrong. One set of single rails carries one machine. To put a second machine behind the first, that single set stays and an extension rail is added to it. The extension is a separate part and it is not included. So a tandem line is this item plus the extension, not two of this item. That is an easy thing to get wrong when two machines are being budgeted at the same time. One more thing follows from the pitch adjustment. In a tandem line the two machines do not have to sit at the same angle. Running the first steeper and the second flatter gives a fast rough pass followed by a slower finishing pass. That is closer to how a hand trim crew actually works. Whether that suits a given room depends on the material, and it costs nothing to try. The rails are the part that makes trying it possible. Key Features 0 to 8 degrees of pitch: Which is 3.9 in, or 98.5 mm, of lift across the range. Pitch sets pass through rate: Steeper is faster and looser; flatter is slower and closer. Adjustable between batches: So the speed against finish trade is not decided once and left. One set carries one machine: Twister part 24-0400-00-P, in the single configuration. Tandem needs the extension rail: This set plus the extension, not two of this set. Two machines can sit at different angles: A fast first pass and a slower finishing pass. 31 lbs: A two person lift rather than something carried in by hand. Alternate part reference: TS24-0400.
