CenturionPro DBT Model 3 Dry Batch Trimmer

The CenturionPro DBT Model 3 Dry Batch Trimmer is a high-capacity dry-processing machine engineered for medium to large harvests that require significantly greater throughput without sacrificing gentle handling or finish quality.

Capable of processing up to 60 pounds of properly dried plant material per hour, the DBT Model 3 dramatically reduces repetitive manual labor while maintaining consistent results from batch to batch. Its combination of Soft Tumble Technology and integrated Variable Speed Control allows operators to adjust tumbler movement according to material size, density, moisture level, and desired finish.

• Processes Up to 60 lbs Dry Per Hour
• Variable Speed Soft Tumble Technology
• Adjustable Mobile Stand for Easy Repositioning
• 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty

Unlike trimming systems that rely on aggressive suction, the DBT Model 3 gently rotates dried material inside an electropolished stainless steel tumbler. This controlled movement encourages unwanted leaf matter to separate through the plastic blade sheet while helping preserve the natural structure and appearance of the finished material.

Variable Speed Control comes standard with the DBT Model 3. Operators can reduce tumbler speed for more delicate batches or increase it for denser material and higher processing volumes. This added control makes it easier to dial in repeatable settings across different plant varieties and moisture conditions.

The DBT Model 3 also includes an adjustable mobile stand. The stand improves loading, unloading, cleaning, and facility movement while allowing operators to position the tumbler at a practical working angle. Integrated casters make it easier to move the machine between processing areas without requiring a second person.

Its 33-inch-long tumbler measures 18 inches in diameter, providing substantially greater batch capacity than the smaller DBT Model 2. The larger processing chamber supports commercial throughput while still maintaining the gentle tumble action that defines the CenturionPro DBT lineup.

The machine measures approximately 38 inches long, 31 inches wide, and 53 inches high with the stand installed. At 150 pounds, it provides a stable commercial platform while remaining mobile enough to reposition within a production facility.

The anodized aluminum body and electropolished stainless steel tumbler are built for repeated commercial use. A removable trim tray collects separated material beneath the tumbler, helping keep the work area organized and preparing collected material for optional secondary screening.

The DBT Model 3 is compatible with optional Kief Tumblers in 95, 125, 150, and 180-micron configurations. After the trimming cycle is complete, operators can exchange the standard tumbler for the selected fine-screen tumbler and process the collected trim separately.

Each screen size provides a different balance between refinement and recovery. Smaller micron screens prioritize finer separation, while larger screens allow faster passage and greater overall recovery with more plant matter potentially included.

Powered by a 1/8 HP motor, the DBT Model 3 draws approximately 1.2 amps at 110V in North America. Its low electrical demand allows it to operate from a standard outlet without the specialized power requirements associated with larger industrial systems.

Backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, the CenturionPro DBT Model 3 is designed for operators who need high-volume dry processing, adjustable speed control, mobile positioning, optional fine-material recovery, and consistent commercial results.

• Routine maintenance requirements

Integrated Trim Tray

A removable trim tray collects separated plant material beneath the tumbler during operation. The tray helps:

• Keep the workspace cleaner
• Organize separated material
• Simplify recovery
• Reduce product loss
• Prepare trim for optional secondary screening
• Speed up cleanup between batches

Optional Kief Tumbler System

The optional DBT3 Kief Tumbler allows operators to process collected trim after the primary trimming cycle. The workflow includes:

• Complete the dry-trimming batch
• Remove the finished material
• Empty the collected trim
• Exchange the standard tumbler for the selected Kief Tumbler
• Process the trim through the fine stainless steel screen
• Collect the separated fine material

This gives the machine both trimming and secondary separation capabilities.

Available Micron Sizes

DBT3 Kief Tumblers are available in 95, 125, 150, and 180 Micron, selectable above. Each option produces a different balance between refinement, throughput, and recovery.

95-Micron Kief Tumbler — Prioritizes the finest and most refined separation. It allows less plant material through the screen and is best suited to operators who prioritize purity over maximum recovery speed.

125-Micron Kief Tumbler — Provides a balance between fine separation and overall yield. It is a versatile option for operators seeking cleaner material without using the tightest available screen.

150-Micron Kief Tumbler — Supports faster separation while maintaining relatively refined output. It is a practical general-purpose option for balancing recovery speed and material quality.

180-Micron Kief Tumbler — Allows the fastest passage and may provide greater total recovery. Because of the larger openings, more plant material may pass through compared with finer screens.

No Lubricating Sprays Required

The Soft Tumble system does not require lubricating sprays during processing. This helps maintain a cleaner workflow and prevents unnecessary residues from being introduced onto finished material.

Consistent Batch Control

The DBT Model 3 processes material in controlled batches. Operators can adjust each run according to:

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

Testing a small batch before full production helps establish the best speed and duration for each plant variety.

Designed for Properly Dried Material

The DBT Model 3 is intended exclusively for dry processing. Material that is too moist may not separate effectively, while excessively dry material may become brittle and lose more surface material during tumbling. The best results come from material that is sufficiently dry for unwanted leaves to detach while retaining enough flexibility to withstand controlled tumbling.

Reduced Manual Labor

With capacity reaching approximately 60 pounds per hour, the DBT Model 3 significantly reduces dependence on repetitive manual trimming. One operator can manage the batch process while other team members focus on preparation, inspection, packaging, storage, and additional harvest tasks.

Recommended Operating Practices
