CenturionPro Dry Batch Trimmer Model 5 (DBT5) | 216 lbs/hr, Twin Drum

CenturionPro Dry Batch Trimmer Model 5 for High-Volume Dry Trimming The DBT5 is two complete trimming sections built onto one stand. Each section carries its own drum, motor, blade sheet and trim trays, so the pair can run together or one at a time. Both drums measure 20 in in diameter and 66 in long. Combined rated throughput reaches up to 216 lbs of dry weight per hour. Each section runs on a 1/4 HP motor that draws 3 A at 110V through its speed controller. The assembled machine weighs 460 lbs and covers 67 x 68 x 53 in of floor. Load each drum 40 to 60 percent full with buds of similar size. Runs of 1 to 15 minutes handle most material, checked every couple of minutes until the crew knows the strain. Turn the timer clockwise for a set run, or counter-clockwise for continuous trimming. Flower near 8 to 10 percent moisture trims cleanly. Keep the room around 50 to 60°F so resin stays firm on the blade sheets. How a Dual Tumbler Dry Trimmer Changes the Trim Room Workflow Two drums mean two jobs can happen at once. One side can polish delicate top buds on a slow setting while the other works dense lowers faster. Or both sides run the same strain and the crew alternates loading and unloading so the machine never sits idle. Soft tumble action stays the same at this scale, with no blower and no lubricant, so trichome heads stay on the flower. Each drum pivots on its plunger lock, swinging up to load, level to trim and down to empty into a tote. An optional size sorter kit converts the machine to grade finished flower into four sizes in under five minutes. Teardown is quick, with each tumbler out in about two minutes. The aluminum frame wipes clean with isopropyl alcohol or warm soapy water. A parts kit with sixteen roller assemblies, two blade sheets, holders, brushes and four bins covers seasonal wear. Each motor needs an hour of rest after five hours of steady running. Electrical planning deserves attention too. Keep its circuit free of other equipment so the breaker never trips mid-batch. Key Features Two Independent Trimming Sections: Each drum has its own motor, speed dial and timer, so two strains or two speeds can run at once. Soft Tumble Cutting: No blower and no lubricant are involved, which keeps trichomes on the flower even at commercial volume. Timer Dials: Set a fixed run time per side, or run continuously while the crew watches the finish. Pivoting Drum Stand: Plunger locks tip each drum up to load, level to run and down to empty without lifting. Size Sorter Option: An accessory kit converts the machine into a four-grade size sorter in under five minutes. Serviceable Design: Tumblers come out in about two minutes, and a parts kit covers rollers, blade sheets, brushes and bins.
