In a trimming machine with a perforated sheet metal tumbler, this measurement is usually taken every time the two cutting edges (bedknife and reel) make contact under a slot in the tumbler. This does not indicate whether a cut on a leaf is actually made. It has no relevance or connection to machine performance and is considered a false measurement created by marketers.<\/p>\n Similar to a tandem marijuana trimming machine setup, except using 3 or more machines placed front to back.

All other throughput trimmers<\/a> use an external separator connected via a plastic hose.<\/p>\n Kief refers to the trichomes of cannabis that may accumulate in containers<\/a> or be sifted from loose, dry cannabis flower with a mesh screen or sieve. Kief contains a much higher concentration of psychoactive cannabinoids than that of the cannabis flowers from which it is derived.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tKilograms per Hour<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t The output weight, in kilos or kilograms, generated in one hour. Note, this measure can be further specified as wet weight or dry weight. I.E. “When trimming wet, the output weight of the Mobius is up to 90 kilograms per hour. That equates to approximately 18 kilograms per hour of dried material.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tKola \/ Cola<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t The top portion or flower cluster of a cannabis plant. See also ‘ Flower<\/a> ‘<\/p>\n In Canada, cannabis cultivators that have been federally licensed are referred to as LPs or Licensed Producers<\/a>.<\/p>\n The process of grinding cannabis to a consistent size to be used in preparations such as extracts, pre-rolls, and fresh frozen.

The term is usually used during the drying or curing phase. A cultivator will be routinely checking the moisture content of the flowers to determine if they are ready to move from drying to curing, or from curing to packaging.<\/p>\n Non-reactive materials are substances that will not interact with, or breakdown when exposed to, another substance. For example, cast iron and copper are often used for cookware because of how evenly and effectively they conduct heat, but if used to cook with acidic ingredients (i.e. tomatoes or lemon juice), the food will pick up chemical elements from the reactive cookware. Non-reactive materials, such as stainless steel, do not react or interfere with the chemical structure of the input substance, (including cannabis).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tNon-Toxic<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t A substance or material that is non-poisonous, benign and safe. In the context of cannabis trimming, it often refers to plastic materials or substances used for cleaning.<\/p>\n The piece on the machine which sits at the exit of the tumbler and directs the output flow of plant materials, usually toward a plastic catch container. See also: ‘Hopper<\/a>‘<\/p>\n A parts washer<\/a> is a piece of equipment used to remove contaminants or debris from workpieces. This is distinctly different from pressure washing in that a parts washer typically cleans parts automatically in an enclosed cabinet, while a pressure washer typically has a single spray jet mounted at the end of a manually operated wand. In the case of the M108S, a parts washer could be used to clean all of the removable parts of the machine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tPounds per Hour<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t The output weight, in pounds, generated in one hour. Note: this measurement can be further specified as wet weight or dry weight. I.E. “When trimming wet, the output weight of the Mobius is up to 200 pounds per hour. That equates to approximately 40 pounds per hour of dried material.”<\/p>\n Also called a reel blade, or cut head, the reel is the rotating edge<\/a> that is one of the two cutting edges (the other is the bed knife) in an automated, throughput-style marijuana trimming machine. It is called a reel because of its original use in old, reel-style lawnmowers. The Mobius Trimmer M108S does not use a reel, but a trio of smaller diameter “helical blades.” See also: ‘TriFlex Blade System<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tResin<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t Resin is the sticky byproduct of the cannabis plant produced in various areas but heavily concentrated in the trichomes on the cannabis flower.

The “tri” represents the three helical blades (compared to traditional trimmers that have only one). The “flex” is a representation of the flexible bed knives, which “walk” along the helical blades, imitating the actions of scissors, or shears.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tTrim<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t The trim can refer to the larger leaves which are removed from the stem of the plant before bucking, as well as the smaller, unwanted leaves around the bud which are removed to expose the flower. While not as valuable as the trimmed flower, trimmed leaf material is usually covered in trichomes and has value for use in edibles, oils, etc.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tTrim Quality<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t Trim quality usually refers to the closeness or shagginess of the trimmed flower and varies from machine to machine. A high trim quality<\/a> typically indicates a very close trim on the flower, while a low trim quality indicates a shaggier, looser trim on the flower. Alternatively, the term ‘trim quality’ could be used to describe the condition of the plant material (leaves) that have been trimmed off the buds. If it has been sliced cleanly, as if by scissors, this would be a high trim quality. If it has been torn apart or smooshed this would be a low trim quality.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tTrim Tote<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t Exclusive to the Mobius M108S Trimmer<\/a>, this removable tote acts as a receptacle for small leaves and matter trimmed from the cannabis flower as it is processed through the AirThread Tension Tumbler<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tTumbler<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t In a throughput-style trimmer, the tumbler is the cylindrical shaped tube that the flowers pass through to get trimmed.
