EZTRIM Mini Plant Destemming Machine

The EZTRIM Mini Plant Destemming Machine is a compact, single operator processing system designed to separate harvested plant material from stems quickly while reducing crushing and compression during preparation.

Its geared high torque motor pulls stems through four interchangeable protruded entry holes, while variable speed and reverse controls give the operator more control over different stem diameters and moisture levels. The machine handles both fresh and dried plant material and is compact enough for tabletop use.

Compact Single Operator Design

The Mini offers the same core functionality as the larger EZTRIM system in a smaller format designed around one operator. At just 66 lbs with a 32" x 22" footprint, it can be positioned on a suitable work table or integrated into tighter processing areas.

40 to 75 lbs Per Hour

The manufacturer rates the Mini for approximately 40 to 75 lbs per hour of fresh harvested plant material, making it a strong fit for smaller commercial workflows that still require meaningful throughput.

Protruded Entry Hole Design

Four protruded entry holes help separate material away from the flat front surface of the machine. This design is intended to reduce smashing and compression farther down the stem during processing.

Four Interchangeable Feed Sizes

The Mini uses four feed positions to accommodate varying stem diameters:

• 1/8"
• 1/4"
• 3/8"
• 1/2"

The Mini uses a removable chute and four feed holes with interchangeable tips.

Variable Speed Control

Adjustable roller speed allows the operator to tailor feed rate to the material being processed. Lower speeds may be preferred for drier material, while fresher stems can typically be processed faster.

Forward + Reverse Operation

The control system includes reverse functionality to help clear obstructed entry holes or release material that does not pass cleanly through the selected feed position.

High Torque Motor

The geared motor delivers 101 lb in of torque at 170 RPM with a rated input of 228 watts, providing the pulling force needed for continuous stem processing.

Fresh + Dry Processing

The machine can be used with both fresh and dried harvested plant material. Speed control allows the operator to adapt the roller action to different moisture levels and material characteristics.

Built In Prep Table

A fold out preparation table provides convenient space for organizing stems before feeding them into the machine.

Food Grade Contact Materials

Materials exposed to processed plant material include food grade 6061 aluminum and silicone.

UL Certified Components

The control box, motor, and power cord use UL certified components.

Three Phase Commercial Power

The machine operates on 120V or 240V AC, 60 Hz, three phase power, drawing 1.9 amps. Facilities should confirm three phase electrical service is available before installation, and installation should be completed by a qualified electrician familiar with three phase equipment.

Choosing Between the Mini and Full Size Destemmer

Compared with the full size EZTRIM Commercial Plant Destemming Machine, the Mini trades dual operator capability and higher throughput (80 to 150 lbs/hr) for a smaller, single operator footprint rated at 40 to 75 lbs/hr. Smaller facilities or single operator workflows may find the Mini a better fit, while operations needing two simultaneous feed stations should consider the full size system.

Recommended Operating Practices

• Read the complete owner’s manual before operating.
• Confirm the correct three phase electrical service is available and properly installed.
• Position the machine on a stable table or surface capable of supporting its weight.
• Select feed tip sizes appropriate to the stem diameter being processed.
• Begin at a lower speed setting and increase gradually as needed.
• Keep hands, tools, and loose clothing away from the feed openings and rollers.
• Use the reverse control to clear lodged stems rather than pulling material by hand.
• Disconnect electrical power before cleaning or maintenance.
• Keep the fold out prep table clear and organized during operation.

Preparing Material

• Sort branches by approximate stem diameter before processing.
• Select the feed tip size closest to each stem diameter.
• Remove foreign objects before feeding material into the machine.
• Test a small quantity first to confirm speed and tip selection.
• Adjust settings based on whether material is fresh or dried.

Feeding Technique

Guide each stem into the selected entry hole and allow the rollers to pull it through. Avoid forcing oversized stems into a hole that is too small, and use the reverse control if a stem becomes lodged rather than attempting to pull it free by hand.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Routine maintenance is straightforward. Remove loose debris with compressed air, wipe metal surfaces and rollers with denatured alcohol, and use a plastic putty knife for stubborn buildup. Feed tips and the chute can be removed for soaking when deeper cleaning is needed. If using a pressure washer, avoid spraying the speed control box.

Feed Tip Maintenance

• Inspect feed tips regularly for wear or buildup.
• Remove tips for soaking or deep cleaning as needed.
• Confirm tips are securely seated before restarting the machine.
• Replace worn or damaged tips with approved EZTRIM replacements.

Motor and Control Box Care

• Keep the control box clean and dry at all times.
• Never spray water or use a pressure washer directly on the control box.
• Inspect the power cord and electrical connections periodically.
• Have electrical repairs performed by qualified personnel.

Storage

• Clean and dry the machine before extended storage.
• Remove and clean feed tips and the chute.
• Fold down the prep table for a more compact storage footprint.
• Store indoors in a dry environment.
