Centurion Pro Gentle Cut Bucking Machine – Mini Workstation

The CenturionPro GC Bucking Machine Combines Power and Efficiency The brand new CenturionPro GC Bucker is an operator-run de-stemming machine that requires the operator to apply gentle pressure to feed the stem in the machine. GC refers to “Gentle Cut” as we appreciate and understand how delicate your flowers are. Similar to scissors, this Bucker cuts the flowers off the stem, as opposed to pulling and popping them. This cutting action prevents the large crown buds from breaking apart into smaller pieces, thereby keeping the complete structure of the buds fully intact preserving the look of your flower. The GC bucker also comes with a cleaning system which removes and collects all debris into a vacuum bag, making clean up a breeze. The system is easy to set up, clean, requires little maintenance and comes with a 5 year warranty. The Gentle Cut Bucker comes in 3 models GCM - Gentle Cut Mini A scaled down version of our best selling GC1 Bucker, the GC Mini Bucker is as powerful as it is affordable. This de-budder cuts the flowers off the stem, rather than popping them off, which prevents the large crown buds from breaking apart and preserves the look of your flower. GC1 (Optional Stand) he single GC bucker accepts stems up to 3/8" in diameter and can do the work of 2-3 human workers and will buck 40+ pounds per hour of fully hydrated flowers!

Preparation for using the GC Buckers & Tip for Dry Bucking Environment Preparation Ensure adequate space Review electrical requirements Have adequate bins for product transport Cooler temperatures in processing room is beneficial Plant Preparation Cut main stalk Seperate each individual stem (no 'y' junctions) Leave 3" of stem for clearance into machine Ensure clean angled cuts for precise feeding Feeding Keep prepped product stem side up for efficiency Size the stem to fi t the ideal hole Feed end first into machine Use variable speed control to adjust flow Moisture Content Moisture content is critical for ensuring minimal damage to the flower Flower that is too dry will fall apart Flower that has too much moisture will compact and dent For best results with dry bucking, moisture content should be between 12% and 14% when using a machine Bud Consistency Buds should be "springy"- when the flower is squeezed between two fingers it will rebound and return to its original shape Both big and smaller stems must be pliable when bucking with a machine such as a GC or HP System Pliable stems ensures that they fold and are stripped upon entering the bucking machine. If too brittle, they will simply break off and will not be properly stripped Machine Speed Slowing the machine speed for dry bucking will lead to a better result Dry bucking at 1/2 or 1/3 of the regular speed will ensure better results The variable speed control off ered by our HP Bucker is a great feature when bucking dry material Specification for the GCM, GC1 & GC3 Bucking Machines Model GCM Input Voltage 6 Amp - 120V, 60Hz Single Phase Current Draw < 6A Operating Motor 0.25HP Motor RPM 1750 RPM Weight 46 lbs. / 21 kg Length 15 in. / 38 cm.
