Why This Twister T4 Dry Trimmer Ships With Two Drums
A second drum is the difference between swapping in seconds and stopping for a wash. This configuration ships with that spare rather than leaving it as an afterthought. The machine trims up to 23 pounds of wet material an hour, or 7 pounds dry, from a single five inch tumbler. Cut height is 0.040 inches, and six tumbler speeds against six blade speeds give thirty six combinations to work through. The blade motor runs 200 watts between 980 and 1875 rpm, while the tumbler motor is a 6 watt unit turning at 47 to 96 rpm. The frame measures 25 by 15 by 16.5 inches and weighs 56 pounds, or 120 with the leaf collector. It runs on 115 volts drawing around 2 amps, on a 15 amp circuit. That is the reason growers take this machine to the field rather than only running it on a bench. A 70 micron filter bag comes with it. Twister covers the machine for three years, with a further two available.
What the Extra Dry Tumbler Actually Does
The narrow drum carries 3/16 inch slots against the standard quarter inch. Narrower slots hold dry material further from the blade, which is what stops a brittle flower being over-handled once the moisture has gone. Running dry stock through the standard drum works, but it takes more off than most growers intend. Having both means the machine matches the material rather than the other way round. The practical gain is time. Swapping a drum takes seconds with no tools. A room can run wet in the morning and dry in the afternoon with no wash between them. Both drums go under the pressure washer together at the end of the day. The blades are nitrided high carbon steel rated to around six hundred hours of work. A spare drum also covers the case nobody plans for, which is one out of service in the middle of a harvest.
Key Features
- Two Drums Included: The narrow slot tumbler ships with the machine rather than arriving as a later addition.
- Thirty Six Combinations: Six tumbler speeds against six blade speeds, so the setting matches the strain and the moisture.
- Portable Weight: At 56 pounds the machine travels, and it runs from an ordinary 15 amp circuit.
- Leaf Collector Included: A 70 micron filter bag and the collector come with the machine rather than separately.
- Tool Free Swap: Changing drums takes seconds, so wet and dry runs share the same afternoon.
- Three Year Warranty: Twister covers the machine for three years, with a further two years available.
