EZ Trim Bud Bucker MINI | 40-75 lbs/hr Wet, Four Entry Holes

What a Bud Bucking Machine This Size Really Puts Through

Four entry holes rather than one is the design decision that matters. They are tipped at 1/8 in, 1/4 in, 3/8 in and 1/2 in. An operator matches the hole to the stem instead of forcing every branch through one aperture. A high-torque drive pulls the stem through and the flower is stripped off at the tip. Speed is adjustable, which is how a strain with soft, dense flower gets handled differently from a wiry one. Reverse clears a hole that has packed, without stopping the line or stripping anything down. Now the throughput figure, which needs splitting because only half of it usually gets quoted. On wet material EZ Trim publish 40 to 75 lbs an hour. On dry material they publish 2,500 grams an hour, which is about 5.5 lbs. That is more than a ten-fold difference and nobody should plan a dry run on the wet number. Their own unit figures line up with that: twenty thousand grams an hour on fresh flower against two and a half thousand on dried. They also put a human number on it, one plant in one to five minutes with a single operator. Use the wet figure for a fresh-frozen or same-day bucking line and the dry figure for anything that has been hanging.

How Much of a Tabletop Bucker This Machine Actually Is

Weight is the specification most often got wrong on this machine. The gap between what gets quoted and what EZ Trim publish is not small. EZ Trim publish the assembled machine at 130 lbs with a ship weight of 150 lbs. Their own page separately calls it light weight at seventy five pounds, so even the manufacturer carries two numbers. A figure of 66 lbs circulates widely and matches neither. Treat 130 lbs as the planning figure, because that is the one attached to the assembled dimensions. Those dimensions are the second thing to know before clearing a bench. Assembled it is 32 in long, 43 in wide and 43 in tall. Forty three inches of height is not a countertop appliance. In most rooms it sits on the floor or a low stand, with the prep table at working height. Power demand is modest for a machine of this weight. EZ Trim publish 120 or 240 VAC at 60 Hz drawing 1.9 A, on a motor rated 228 W and 170 RPM at 101 lb of torque per inch. Their sheet also lists three phase alongside those figures, which is worth confirming for your supply before delivery. Everything in contact is food grade: 6061 aluminium, stainless steel and silicone. It is manufactured and assembled in the United States.
