Trim Traps can be used to sift away duff or fluff from finished product to keep lbs looking clean.
It works as a classifier for finished product as well with any bud smaller than 9/16 of an inch falling into the bin. In late 2018 be on the lookout for a classifier lid with larger holes to help sort product even further.
Trimmers can sort the waste material while they work.
Recycle your coco coir after you finish your cycle. By placing your used media in the tote and the putting on a Trim Trap lid; growers can flip the tote and lid upside down to sift out the coco and perlite while the root ball will remain inside the tote.
Works well in conjunction with trim machines. After running you product through a trim machine you can cure your bud in a tote for another week or two and then sift off any remaining dried plant material from the product before bagging it up.
The Trim Trap helps save time and money when processing plant material after harvest. The Trim Trap was designed to fit as a lid on top of 30 inch long black and yellow 27 gallon totes as well as a few others. When the bin is full of trim just take the Trim Trap off and replace it with the original yellow lid and stack it with the others.
As trimmers work trays become full of fluff and plant material, they simply take their tray over to the tote with the Trim Trap lid and dump out the plant material onto the Trim Trap. After a few quick sifting movements of the bin all the trim will fall into the bin leaving only buds and stems on top of the Trim Trap.
By placing two paper bags to the side of the Trim Trap while workers dump their trays out they can quickly seperate stems into one bag for waste and smalls that are not worth trimming into the other bag. Any buds that are large enough to trim will also be easy sorted and placed back into the trimmers tray.
This practice helps to deter cherry picking by the trim crews as well, and leaves the grower with sorted material ready for waste product production.
No longer will you throw away thousands of dollars worth of good product, and you will have totes full of hashable material that is ready to process.
The Trim Trap was designed to fit as a lid on top of 30-inch wide black and yellow 27-gallon totes as well as a few others.
Max Cutler and Kelly Hanner began the journey of creating the Trim Trap in May of 2017.
After 5 years of growing medical cannabis in California, one of my gardens was raided by the DEA and BINTF (Butte County Inter-Narcotic Task Force) in 2014. After 2 and a half years hard-fought battle to have the case thrown out they made an offer that I could not refuse.
So as a result I took a plea that included 3 years probation. I had made Trim Traps for my trimmers throughout my time growing, and I figured why not produce them for others now that I cannot legally grow cannabis. Thus the NorCal Trim Trap was born.
