When our customers order spare barrels for their ZOOM Double Barrel trimmer, we always ask which barrel they would like to purchase - a Left Barrel or a Right Barrel, or a set of Barrels. There is a reason behind.
The Left Barrel and Right Barrel are perforated. The perforations form a rifled helical pattern, with the perforation rifling mirrored, one Barrel relative to the other. The Barrel perforation rifling is mirrored because the Barrels counter-rotate, which requires that the rifling be mirrored in order to encourage movement of the plant material down the Barrels when the Barrels rotate.
I am new to machine trimming, being on the commodity side.
I’m having a trimming service come out this year. I think they use Twister T4s. I am after a speedy non-standard application where only water leaves are removed, and the flowers themselves remain mostly untrimmed.
Talking with the service, it seems throughput is slow for the cost, but they haven’t tried trimming them in the way I want them trimmed.
Previously, I have used fans to seperate the flowers from the chaff, speed isn’t that great there either…
Zoom Double Barrel trimmer for rough trimming will give you very high volume per hour because you don’t need or want to leave it in the barrel very long and only to get the rough trim. We have end users that are rough trimming 120lbs plus per hr with 1 ZOOM Double Barrel trimmer. In addition, the barrel speed is adjustable from 0-180rpm with adjustable jacks to control running flow.
We also have a Mini ZOOM Double Barrel trimmer which trims 20+ lbs wet per hour. Both barrel speed and vacuum force are adjustable. I attached the Mini ZOOM trimmer picture here for your reference.
If you’d like to know more about our trimming machines, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks @Farmer_Dan for providing your feedback and interest in @CindyB’s Zoom technology!
I reached out to you and the other growers on Friday because I saw you all online and wanted to learn a little more about your operations. I am very happy that you are one of our valued members that knows how to keep an exciting conversation going.
I really appreciate the interaction between you both. Great conversation, pictures and information in this post!
