Abstract
A processing system comprising at least one cylindrical tumbler having a base portion with one or more sidewalls extending upward, where the tumbler tumbles plant material placed inside, and where the tumbled material is trimmed within the tumbler. A motor is in communication with a power source and is mechanically coupled to the base of the tumbler, so that the motor rotates the tumbler. The one or more sidewalls have a plurality of apertures configured to selectively allow one or more plant byproducts to pass through.
Claims17
A processing system comprises:
- a. at least one cylindrical tumbler having a base portion with one or more sidewalls extending upward therefrom, wherein the tumbler tumbles plant material placed therein, wherein the tumbled plant material is trimmed within the tumbler;
- and
- b. a motor in communication with a power source, wherein the motor is mechanically coupled to the base of the tumbler, wherein the motor rotates the tumbler;
- wherein the one or more sidewalls have a plurality of apertures configured to selectively allow one or more plant byproducts to pass through for trimming.
1 more element
A plant trimming machine, comprising:
- a first cylindrical tumbler comprised of a first sidewall having a plurality of first perforations in the first sidewall sized to allow protrusion of desired plant material and a base with a keyed shaft coupled to a motor attached therein;
- a second cylindrical tumbler comprised of a second sidewall having at least a portion of said second sidewall made from a mesh;
- a cutter screen in a bent configuration to concentrically fit around at least a portion of the first cylindrical tumbler having a plurality of second perforations, wherein the second perforations exhibit a different size and angular configuration compared to the first perforations;
- wherein when rotated by the shaft with said plant material inside, the first cylindrical tumbler engages protruding plant material between the first perforations and the second perforations to trim desired plant material to fall through an integral hopper system into a collector;
- and
- wherein the second cylindrical tumbler can guide, distribute, and stack plant material against the first sidewall and make contact with a cutting surface of the cutter screen.
