Twister T2 Leaf Collector Vacuum T2-LC - 2 HP, 1,700 CFM, 230V

Twister T2 Leaf Collector With a 2 HP Fan-Cooled Motor

The T2-LC is the vacuum that supplies suction for a Twister T2 trimmer and catches everything the blades cut away. A fan-cooled 2 HP motor, UL and CSA approved, spins a balanced 12 in aluminum impeller at 3,450 RPM. That drives 1,700 CFM of airflow at 10.5 in of static pressure through a 6 in inlet. Cut leaf lands in a collection bag, while an 80 micron filter bag cleans the exhaust air. The unit stands 36 in tall and weighs about 123 lb. Power is 230V, drawing 9 A running and 45 A for a moment at startup. Plan on a 15 A, 240 V breaker and a NEMA 6-15 plug. Any extension cord must be 12 AWG or heavier and no longer than 25 ft. The motor is fused, and it runs at about 80 dB. Replacement bag clamps, filter bags and collection bags keep it in service between harvests.

Hooking Up a Leaf Collector Vacuum to the T2 Trimmer

Set the collector where the trimmer outlet and the collector inlet are easy to reach, with the exhaust side clear of walls. A crowded exhaust is one of the first causes of weak suction, along with a dirty filter bag. Run the hose from the vacuum outlet on the trimmer to the inlet on the collector and screw both clamps down. Start the vacuum first and let it reach full speed before the blades and tumbler. At the end of the run, shut it off and detach it before cleaning the trimmer. For dry trimming, a vacuum bypass (part 23-0255) bleeds off some suction so finished flower is not pulled too hard. Run it on a separate breaker from the trimmer, which keeps a startup surge from tripping the line. Resin builds up around the impeller with use, and that buildup is the other common cause of weak suction. Unplug it and pull the inlet housing to clean inside the impeller housing, and swap the filter bag once it loads up. The honest limit is power. It needs a 240-volt circuit, so a space wired only for standard outlets needs an electrician before harvest day.

Key Features

• 2 HP Fan-Cooled Motor: The UL and CSA approved motor turns a balanced 12 in aluminum impeller at 3,450 RPM.
• 1,700 CFM Airflow: Strong suction at 10.5 in static pressure keeps cut leaf moving out of the tumbler.
• 6 in Inlet: The inlet takes the hose from the T2 vacuum outlet with a clamped connection.
• 80 Micron Filter Bag: Exhaust air passes through the filter bag while trim fills the collection bag.
• 230V on NEMA 6-15: It runs on a 15 A, 240 V breaker with a fused motor.
• Serviceable Wear Parts: Bag clamps, filter bags and collection bags are available as replacements.
