TRIM BOTH WET + DRY

ALL CENTURIONPRO TRIMMING MACHINES NOW COME ALL INCLUSIVE WITH BOTH WET AND DRY TUMBLERS! OR... DO YOU ONLY TRIM ONE WAY?

GET ALL YOUR TUMBLERS AS EITHER WET OR DRY!

WHY NOT USE A DUAL-PURPOSE STANDARD TUMBLER TO TRIM BOTH WET AND DRY FLOWERS?

Yes, a "dual-purpose standard tumbler" will harvest both wet and dry flower. But.....You will not receive the same level of efficiency as using a tumbler designed specifically for a particular wet or dry

trimming application. The dual-purpose standard tumbler will not trim as fast or as clean as a dedicated wet tumbler and will not be as delicate on your flowers as a true dedicated dry tumbler. This

is why we will not promote "dual-purpose standard" tumblers and this is also why CenturionPro includes both a wet and a dry tumbler with each machine.

CENTURIONPRO

WET TUMBLER

1/8" SOLID STEEL SLATS FOR

The solid steel slats on our wet tumblers are 1/8" in width

compared to 1/4" on tumblers offered by our competitors. Having

a thinner slat means less metal material and more open area,

resulting in an overall increase in access to the blades by 50%

when compared to the 1/4" wide standard dual-purpose tumbler.

This increased cutting surface allows more of the flower to come in

contact with the blades resulting in a tighter, closer, faster cut with

just one pass. This negates the need for a second pass through a

tumbler or placing machines "end-to-end".

Another advantage to 1/8" wide slats is that the thinner slats have

a smaller surface area for resin to build up on, therefore reducing

resin loss and quickening tumbler clean up time.

What does this mean?!

product and less cleaning time when using our dedicated

wet tumbler.

TRIMMING DRY?

HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT TIPS!

• Begin by hanging the entire plant, leaving the leaf on. Starting with 30% humidity at 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 hours, raising the humidity to 50-60% for another five to six days.

• Next, carefully cut all your flowers off the main stocks of the plant, leaving only flowers and leaves in tact. Then, depending on the density of the flowers, it should be ready to run through the machine.

• The buds should be about 80-90% dry, which allow the fan leaf and sugar leaf to remain somewhat PLIABLE/BENDY, in a soft and flexible state. If the larger leaf is too dry and brittle (which makes

it more difficult for the machine to pull this stiffer leaf through the slots of the drum, preventing a clean, sharp cut) raise the humidity up to 75% for about half a day to a full day. This, remarkably,

softens up the unwanted leaf while returning almost no additional moisture to the main body of the buds.

CRITICAL:

IT IS CRITICAL FOR THE UNWANTED LEAVES TO BE

PREFORM A CLEAN PERFECT CUT. WE ALSO RECOMMEND USING A

BOTTLE

WITH A MISTING NOZZLE TO RE-INTRODUCE A SMALL AMOUNT OF MOISTURE TO THE

UNWANTED LEAVES BEFORE RUNNING THE FLOWERS THROUGH THE MACHINE.

After running the buds through the machine the chances are they are ready to bag up! All that might be necessary is a quick test after the bag has been sealed by opening it back up to air them out a

bit to achieve the perfect moisture content (curing process). You may prefer to run the machine with the plastic cover off, and diverter almost open (this varies depending on the density of the strain).

Please note the machine operates best when the tumbler is 40-60% full. A huge bonus to the DRY trimming method is that the machine will require almost no periodic cleaning, as the Quantanium

non-stick drum and blade will not gum up and therefore not reduce performance. The main advantage of DRY trimming is said to be better preservation of all the strong natural aromas and flavours

after the harvesting process is complete.

MONTHS OF WORK CAN BE RUINED IN A FEW HOURS AT THE END SO PLEASE BE PATIENT AND TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THE HARVESTING AND CURING PROCESS.

CENTURIONPRO

DRY TUMBLER

1/4" SOLID STEEL SLATS FOR

When fresh wet flowers are fully dried, they shrink to

about 25%-30% in size of what they once were. They

become brittle, fragile and more susceptible to damage.

For this reason, a Dry tumbler is needed when harvesting

dry flowers because the cutting surface area is greatly

reduced on the dry tumbler. The 1/4" wide steel slats

means more metal material is present and there is less

open area, thereby protecting the smaller fragile flowers

from being overexposed to the blades of the machine.

This will result in less trichome loss and a higher yield

as more of your flowers will stay intact during the

harvesting process.

You will not get this level of protection when using a

"dual-purpose standard tumbler" to trim both wet and

dry flowers.

NOTE 1:

THIS METHOD WILL ALLOW VIRTUALLY NO ADDITIONAL

MOISTURE BACK TO THE INNER BUD/FLOWER. THE

MOISTURE WILL ONLY SOFTEN UP THE OUTER LEAVES.
