Operational Overview:

This machine strictly adheres to GMP/FDA compliance standards only food-grade materials. The drum sorter ensures uninterrupted operation while proficiently sorting cannabis buds, requiring occasional shutdowns for emptying sorted product containers and cleaning maintenance.

Whether manually or an automated pass-through trimmer is used, buds enter the sorter, experiencing gentle rotation enabling effective separation. The slightly inclined sorter, from feed to discharge, allows the product to travel its length during rotation. Using various smooth round perforation sizes, the sorter facilitates size-based separation of buds. The largest buds ultimately exiting at the end.

Key Features:
Our standard size drum sorter effectively removes small buds and trim debris (shake) in the initial stage through (1/2”) sizing holes, followed by the separation of “C” grade (3/4”) buds in the second stage. The third stage targets the removal of “B” grade (1″) buds, while premium “A” grade buds are collected at the chamber’s end.

When utilizing a pass-through auto trimmer, the drum sorter can be strategically positioned to receive buds immediately upon their exit from the trimmer. This might involve elevating the trimmer onto a platform, and we offer an affordable custom solution made from lightweight extruded aluminum for this purpose. Alternatively, buds can be loaded manually in bulk through a detachable loading funnel which is provided with all models.

Sorters come with standard drum sorting sizes of 1/2″, 3/4″, and 1″, with larger premium flowers smoothly passing through. Custom drums with your specific hole size configuration are also available, click HERE (leads to custom questionnaire)

Delicate Handling: Our gentle treatment method surpasses that of shaking or slotted table sorters. The laser-cut, round hole sorting design ensures that buds remain undamaged. This stands in contrast to higher-priced competitors’ drum/tumble sorters with rectangular openings, which can potentially damage buds with sharp edges, leading to trichome loss and tearing of the buds.
