CenturionPro Dry Batch Trimmer Model 3 for Medium and Large Harvests
The DBT3 stands on its own floor frame, and the drum pivots on that frame to handle loading, trimming and emptying. Pull the plunger and the drum swings upright for filling, then levels out to run and tips downward to dump. That drum is 18 in across and 33 in long. Rated throughput is up to 50 lbs of dry weight per hour, with density and moisture setting the real pace. A 1/8 HP motor turns it through a variable speed controller, drawing 1.2 A at 110V. The whole unit weighs 150 lbs and occupies 38 x 31 x 53 in of floor space. Fill the drum 40 to 60 percent with buds of a similar size. Runs of 1 to 15 minutes cover most loads, checked every couple of minutes. Start the speed dial low and raise it only as the batch allows. Dry flower near 8 to 10 percent moisture releases its sugar leaf cleanly. A trim room kept at 50 to 60°F keeps resin firm and the blade sheet working longer.
A Commercial Dry Trimming Machine That Stays Gentle at Volume
This machine keeps a gentle touch at commercial scale. The soft tumble cut uses no blower and no lubricant, so buds roll rather than tumble violently and trichome heads stay put. Variable speed lets the crew slow down for airy tops and push harder through dense lower buds. The pivoting drum saves backs too, since no one lifts a full tumbler to empty it. Tumblers come out in about two minutes for cleaning. The aluminum frame wipes down with isopropyl alcohol or warm soapy water. Rotate the blade sheet every ten hours of running, and clean the machine at the end of each trim day. After the flower is done, a kief tumbler in 95, 125, 150 or 180 micron sifts the trim, filled half to three quarters full. A parts kit with spare rollers, blade sheet, holders, brush and collection bin keeps a long season running. Floor space is the practical limit. Plan a dedicated corner of the trim room for it, with a grounded outlet close by.
Key Features
- Pivoting Drum Stand: Pulling one plunger swings the drum upright to load, level to trim and downward to empty, with no lifting.
- Variable Speed Control: A speed dial matches tumble intensity to each strain, from fragile tops to dense, heavy colas.
- High-Volume Drum: An 18 x 33 in tumbler carries enough flower per batch to keep a commercial trim room moving.
- Soft Tumble Cutting: No blower and no lubricant are used, so trichomes stay on the flower and the trim stays clean for extraction.
- Kief Tumbler Compatible: Accessory screens in 95, 125, 150 or 180 micron convert the DBT3 into a dry sifter after the flower is finished.
- Fast Cleaning: Tumblers come out in about two minutes, and the aluminum frame wipes clean with isopropyl alcohol.
