CenturionPro DBT Model 1 Dry Batch Trimmer

The CenturionPro DBT Model 1 Dry Batch Trimmer is a compact, commercial-quality trimming machine designed for small harvests, home horticulture, boutique flower production, and operators ready to move beyond repetitive hand trimming.

Processing up to 10 pounds of properly dried plant material per hour, the DBT Model 1 significantly reduces trimming time while maintaining a gentle, consistent finish. Its Soft Tumble Technology rotates material through an electropolished stainless steel tumbler without relying on a high-suction blower system or lubricating sprays.

• Processes Up to 10 lbs Dry Per Hour
• Soft Tumble Technology for Gentle Dry Trimming
• Quiet Blower-Free Batch Processing
• 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty

This controlled batch process helps protect delicate flower structure while separating unwanted leaf material more consistently than manual trimming. The machine is designed to handle different flower sizes, shapes, and densities while reducing the variation that can occur across larger hand-trimming crews.

The compact 24-inch-long frame weighs only 35 pounds and includes two carrying handles, making the DBT Model 1 easy to move between rooms, workbenches, and storage areas. Its low electrical demand allows it to operate from a standard North American 110V outlet while drawing only 0.68 amps.

The anodized aluminum housing provides strength and corrosion resistance without unnecessary weight. Inside, the 18-inch electropolished stainless steel tumbler offers a smooth, durable surface for reliable dry processing, while the plastic blade sheet provides a gentler cutting interface for delicate material.

A removable trim tray collects separated plant matter beneath the tumbler, helping keep the workspace organized and simplifying recovery after each batch. Once trimming is complete, operators can process the collected material further using an optional DBT1 Kief Tumbler.

Available in 95, 125, 150, and 180-micron configurations, the optional Kief Tumblers allow operators to choose the desired balance between refinement and recovery. Smaller micron sizes produce a finer separation, while larger screens allow faster passage with more plant material.

The DBT Model 1 does not include Variable Speed Control, an adjustable stand, or a timer. Those features are reserved for larger models in the CenturionPro Dry Batch Trimmer lineup. Instead, the Model 1 focuses on affordability, portability, simple operation, and consistent dry trimming for smaller production environments.

Backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, the CenturionPro DBT Model 1 is built for operators who want to reduce hand-trimming labor, maintain repeatable results, preserve delicate plant material, and add a dependable batch-processing system without the size or electrical requirements of industrial equipment.

Soft Tumble Technology

The DBT Model 1 uses CenturionPro’s Soft Tumble Technology to gently rotate properly dried plant material inside the trimming tumbler. Rather than relying on aggressive airflow, the material moves naturally across the cutting surface so unwanted leaves can separate gradually.

Benefits include:

• Gentle dry processing
• Consistent batch-to-batch results
• No blower suction system
• No lubricating sprays required
• Reduced surface damage
• Improved preservation of delicate flower structure

Up to 10 lbs Per Hour

The DBT Model 1 is rated to process up to 10 pounds of properly dried material per hour. Actual throughput depends on:

• Material moisture
• Flower density
• Batch size
• Plant preparation
• Desired finish
• Processing time
• Tumbler cleanliness

Some retailer listings reference 8 lbs/hr, but the current manufacturer specification lists a maximum capacity of 10 lbs/hr.

Compact and Portable Design

The machine measures 24 inches long, 13 inches wide, and 21 inches high. At only 35 pounds, it is practical for workbenches, small processing rooms, garages, and other spaces where larger commercial batch trimmers would be difficult to install. Two integrated handles make the DBT Model 1 easier to move between work areas.

Standard 110V Operation

The DBT Model 1 operates from a standard North American 110V outlet and draws approximately 0.68 amps. Its low electrical demand provides:

• Simple installation
• No specialized circuit requirement
• Low operating consumption
• Easy use in small facilities
• Greater flexibility when repositioning the machine

International operation is rated at approximately 220V and 0.39 amps.

Quiet Blower-Free Processing

The DBT Model 1 does not require a separate leaf collector or blower system. This reduces:

• Operating noise
• Electrical demand
• Equipment footprint
• Hose management
• Maintenance requirements
• Setup time

The simplified configuration is especially useful in smaller work areas.

Electropolished Stainless Steel Tumbler

The included dry-trimming tumbler is manufactured from electropolished stainless steel. Its smooth surface provides:

• Corrosion resistance
• Easy cleaning
• Long service life
• No applied non-stick coating
• Reliable batch movement
• Consistent dry-processing performance

The tumbler measures 9 inches in diameter and 18 inches long.

Plastic Blade Sheet

The DBT Model 1 uses a plastic blade sheet designed for gentler handling of delicate dried material. This helps create a controlled trimming action while reducing the aggressive contact associated with heavier cutting systems.

Anodized Aluminum Body

The machine housing is built from anodized aluminum. This provides:

• Structural strength
• Corrosion resistance
• Lower overall weight
• Easy exterior cleaning
• Long-term durability
• Professional finish

Integrated Trim Tray

The included trim tray collects separated plant material beneath the tumbler during operation. This helps:

• Keep the workspace cleaner
• Simplify recovery
• Organize separated material
• Reduce product loss
• Speed up post-batch cleanup

Optional Kief Tumbler System

The optional DBT1 Kief Tumbler converts the machine into a secondary separation system after trimming is complete. The workflow is simple:

• Complete the trimming cycle
• Remove the finished flower
• Empty the collected trim
• Replace the standard tumbler with the Kief Tumbler
• Process the trim through the selected screen
• Collect the separated fine material

Available screen sizes include 95, 125, 150, and 180 Micron, selectable above.

Choosing a Micron Size

Different screen sizes produce different levels of separation.

95 Micron — Designed for the finest and most refined separation. It allows less plant material through the screen and prioritizes purity over maximum recovery speed.

125 Micron — Provides a middle ground between fine separation and overall yield. This is a balanced choice for operators who want cleaner material without using the tightest available screen.

150 Micron — Allows faster separation while still producing a relatively refined result. This is a versatile general-purpose option for many operators.

180 Micron — Provides the fastest passage and highest potential recovery, but may allow more plant material into the collected fraction. This option prioritizes throughput and yield over maximum refinement.

Consistent Batch Processing

The DBT Model 1 is designed for batch operation. Each batch can be adjusted according to:

• Material dryness
• Flower density
• Batch weight
• Desired finish
• Processing time

Operators should begin with a small test batch before establishing a repeatable process for larger volumes.

Built for Properly Dried Material

The DBT Model 1 is designed exclusively for dry trimming. Material that is too moist may not separate properly, while material that is excessively dry may become brittle and lose more surface material during tumbling. The best results come from material that is dry enough for unwanted leaves to detach while still retaining sufficient flexibility.

Replaces Manual Trimming Labor

The DBT Model 1 helps reduce the need for large hand-trimming crews. Its consistent batch process allows one operator to manage trimming while other personnel focus on preparation, inspection, packaging, and additional harvest tasks.

No Lubricating Sprays Required

The Soft Tumble design does not require lubricants or processing sprays. This keeps the workflow cleaner and prevents unnecessary residues from being introduced during trimming.

Designed for Small Operations

The DBT Model 1 is suited for:

• Home horticulture
• Boutique flower production
• Small harvests
• Test batches
• Limited workspaces
• Operators upgrading from hand trimming
• Facilities needing a portable secondary machine

Recommended Operating Practices

• Read the complete owner’s manual before operating.
• Place the machine on a stable, level surface.
• Confirm that the tumbler and trim tray are installed correctly.
• Inspect the machine before every use.
• Process only properly dried plant material.
• Remove large branches and stems before loading.
• Begin with a small test batch.
• Do not overfill the tumbler.
• Allow enough open space for material to tumble freely.
• Check the batch periodically to avoid over-processing.
• Keep hands, tools, jewelry, and loose clothing away from moving parts.
• Never operate the machine with covers or guards removed.
• Disconnect electrical power before cleaning or maintenance.
• Keep the power cord away from water.

Preparing Material for Dry Trimming

Before loading the DBT Model 1:

• Remove large stems and branches.
• Confirm that unwanted leaves are dry enough to separate.
• Avoid loading wet or freshly cut material.
• Avoid material that crumbles during light handling.
• Use similarly sized flower within each batch.
• Test a small sample first.
• Adjust batch duration based on the result.

Consistent preparation improves both throughput and finish quality.

Batch Loading

Do not pack the tumbler completely full. Material requires open space to rotate and tumble across the cutting surface. Overloading may:

• Reduce trimming efficiency
• Restrict material movement
• Cause uneven results
• Increase processing time
• Place additional stress on drive components

Monitoring the Trim

Inspect the material periodically during the first few batches. Different plant varieties, densities, and moisture levels may require different cycle lengths. Once an effective processing time is established, future batches can be run more consistently.
