What a Twister T2 Trimmer Puts Through in an Hour
Throughput is the figure to settle first. In tandem terms one unit handles 14-16 lbs dry and 35-45 lbs wet. Take the table as the planning number. Two machines in tandem reach seventy seven to eighty five pounds wet. What does the cutting is a set of eleven self-sharpening blades, rated at roughly nineteen thousand cuts a minute. Blade height moves on a click mechanism in steps of 0.0009 in, or 0.023 mm. Full travel reaches a 0.040 in cut height, which is 1 mm. The tumbler is 304 stainless at six inches across, with no PTFE coating on it. Two apertures are made, a standard 1/4 in and a narrow 3/16 in. The standard drum is the general purpose choice and the narrow one suits smaller, denser flower. Material can go in at anything from 11% moisture to fully hydrated, so one machine covers a wet line and a dry line.
Power, Footprint and Scaling a Commercial Dry Trimmer Line
The machine runs on 120V and draws 14.8A, and Twister call for a dedicated 20A circuit. That is an ordinary North American outlet, but not one to share with a lighting load. The unit weighs 215 lbs and measures 42.5 in long by 27.5 in wide by 32.5 in tall on its wheels. Shipping weight with a leaf collector is 420 lbs, which matters before a liftgate is booked. Discharge is 6 in, matching standard ducting. One point about the contents is worth reading twice. The hopper is not included. The leaf collector is the paired unit and is not in the crate. Scaling is the real argument for this platform over one larger machine. Up to four units run in tandem on a shared rail, and the four-machine figures are 44-68 lbs dry and 141-220 lbs wet. Everything strips down without tools, and the electricals are sealed for a pressure washdown. Twister cover the machine for ten years, which is the longest term in this category.
