Producing cannabis for medical purposes is an increasingly competitive market, thanks in large part to the legalization of the plant for the treatment of a variety of different physical and mental health conditions. These types of producers need to have reliable, effective and efficient equipment that can manage bud trimming without any damage.
For those growing cannabis for medical purposes, or those needing their own plants processed to use for medicine, the harvesting and preparation processes are critical to quality. After the processing of drying the buds, removing stems and extra leaf matter is important, not only for the aesthetics of the cannabis but also to improve the smoking experience. Excessive leafy material or stems can create a harsh smoke, which can be eliminated by removing this unwanted material and leaving the flower.
Choosing Bud Trimmers
Finding a top automatic option in bud trimmers for sale saves hours upon hours of manual trimming of the product. Additionally, with hand trimming, there is often a lot of mess, which adds to the time to complete the process and clean up the work area.
Many of the bud trimmers for sale offer a tumbler type of drums. This spins the bud and the drum, which creates the friction to remove the outer leaves and the stems. However, this process also removes the trichomes, which produce the sugary looking, stalk-like growth that contains cannabinoid that starts to be produced during the bloom phase of the plant.
The best bud trimmers for sale do not use a tumble method, but rather operate like horizontal scissors. The bud is held on the surface, and the shearing action of the automated blades under the protective mesh removes the stems and extra leaf matter while avoiding damage and removal of the trichomes.
