Mobius TD15 Commercial Dry Trimmer

The Mobius TD15 Dry Trimmer is a compact commercial processing machine designed for small farms, specialty herb producers, greenhouse operations, research facilities, and botanical businesses that need faster, more consistent trimming without moving into oversized industrial equipment.

Capable of processing up to 10 pounds of properly dried botanical material per hour, the TD15 gives smaller operations a practical way to reduce repetitive hand trimming while maintaining control over finished quality. Its gentle drum action and precision shear band system remove excess leaves and unwanted plant material without relying on aggressive suction.

The TD15 is especially well suited to businesses processing delicate aromatic herbs, dried flowers, specialty botanicals, seed crops, and other valuable plant material where appearance, structure, cleanliness, and consistency matter. Its compact footprint allows it to fit comfortably on a sturdy worktable or processing bench, making it an excellent choice for facilities with limited floor space.

Unlike many mechanical trimming systems, the TD15 operates without a vacuum and does not require lubricants within the trimming process. This closed-loop approach helps keep the collected plant material clean while eliminating the airflow, filters, oil, and additional maintenance associated with vacuum-assisted machines.

The trimming action is created by a rotating drum working against a precision nylon shear band. As dried material gently tumbles through the drum, unwanted leaves pass through the openings and are removed by the shear surface. This controlled process provides a more consistent finish while reducing the handling, labor, and operator fatigue associated with trimming every piece by hand.

The TD15 features a stainless steel body and food-grade contact materials selected for durability, cleanability, and use in professional botanical processing environments. Its GMP-ready design supports facilities that follow documented sanitation, inspection, and production procedures.

Tool-free disassembly allows operators to remove the drum, collection tote, cap, and shear band without complicated tools or lengthy breakdown procedures. This makes it easier to clean the machine between batches, inspect the product-contact components, and prepare the unit for the next processing run.

A turn-and-lock drum system further simplifies removal and reinstallation. Operators can access the internal components quickly while maintaining a secure fit during operation. This is particularly valuable for businesses processing multiple varieties of herbs or botanical material that require cleaning between batches.

The TD15 also incorporates a rollback loading design that allows the machine body to tilt for more convenient loading and unloading. This reduces unnecessary lifting and reaching while helping operators move material through the trimming workflow with less handling.

At only 47 pounds, the machine can be repositioned more easily than larger commercial trimmers. Its compact 18-inch height, 12-inch width, and 20-inch length make it suitable for tabletop use, mobile processing spaces, small production rooms, and operations where equipment must be stored between processing sessions.

The 40-watt motor operates on a standard North American 120-volt, 1.5-amp electrical supply. An international 240-volt configuration is also available, allowing the TD15 to operate without specialized high-amperage electrical infrastructure.

Because the trimming system does not use a vacuum motor, the TD15 operates more quietly than many suction-based machines. The lower-noise design creates a more comfortable working environment and makes the unit easier to use in shared production spaces.

All removed material is captured in the included collection tote beneath the drum. This enclosed collection system keeps the work area more organized and allows usable botanical material to be retained for appropriate secondary applications rather than being pulled into a vacuum filter or lost throughout the room.

The TD15 arrives as a coordinated processing system with the trimming drum, collection tote, drum cap, shear band, control box, and motor included. Its straightforward design is intended to reduce setup time and make training easier for small teams.

The machine is built in North America and backed by a manufacturer warranty covering motors, electrical components, and other non-consumable machine parts for one year or 1,000 operating hours, whichever occurs first. Consumable components, cosmetic wear, and damage caused by improper use or unauthorized modification are excluded.

Processes Up to 10 Pounds Per Hour

The TD15 processes up to 10 pounds of properly prepared dried botanical material per hour.

Actual throughput will vary based on material density, dryness, batch size, preparation, and the desired finished appearance.

This capacity makes the TD15 an excellent step up for operations that have outgrown completely manual trimming but do not require a large industrial production line.

Gentle Shear Band Trimming

The TD15 uses a rotating drum and nylon shear band to remove excess plant material with controlled mechanical action.

As the botanical material tumbles, unwanted leaves move through the drum openings and meet the shear surface for a clean, consistent cut.

This design helps maintain the natural structure and appearance of delicate dried material.

Vacuum-Free Operation

The TD15 does not rely on vacuum suction to move or trim material.

Eliminating the vacuum helps reduce aggressive airflow around the product while avoiding the additional motor, ducting, filters, and maintenance associated with suction-based systems.

The result is a quieter and more controlled trimming environment.

Lubricant-Free Processing

No lubricants are required within the trimming process.

This supports cleaner product handling and reduces concerns about oil or grease entering the collection area.

The lubricant-free design also simplifies sanitation and routine maintenance.

Closed-Loop Material Collection

Removed leaves and fine plant material are captured in the included collection tote beneath the trimming drum.

The enclosed collection system keeps the processing area cleaner and allows collected botanical material to be retained for suitable secondary uses.

Compact Tabletop Design

Measuring only 18 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 20 inches long, the TD15 delivers commercial trimming capability in a compact footprint.

Its tabletop-friendly size makes it suitable for:

• Small production rooms
• Greenhouse work areas
• Farm processing spaces
• Botanical laboratories
• Mobile processing setups
• Shared commercial kitchens
• Specialty herb businesses

Portable 47-Pound Construction

The TD15 weighs 47 pounds, allowing it to be moved or stored more easily than larger commercial trimming equipment.

Its integrated structure gives small teams greater flexibility when configuring seasonal or multi-use workspaces.

The machine should always be lifted using safe handling procedures and positioned on a strong, level surface before operation.

Rollback Loading Design

The machine incorporates a rollback tilt system that helps streamline loading and unloading.

Tilting the unit provides more direct access to the drum opening and reduces the amount of reaching required during batch changes.

This supports a smoother workflow from loading through trimming and final collection.

Tool-Free Disassembly

The drum, cap, collection tote, and shear band can be accessed without complicated tools.

Tool-free disassembly reduces cleaning time, simplifies inspection, and makes it easier to prepare the machine between different batches.

This allows the TD15 to run from a suitable standard electrical circuit without requiring high-capacity commercial electrical installation.

An international version operates on 240 volts at 0.75 amps.

Simple Fixed-Speed Operation

The TD15 uses a straightforward fixed-speed configuration rather than a complex variable-speed control system.

This simplified approach makes the machine easy to learn and helps small teams maintain a repeatable process without excessive programming.

Efficient Small-Batch Workflow

The TD15 is built for businesses that process moderate batches and want to reduce time spent on repetitive manual work.

Its workflow is simple:

1. Prepare and dry the botanical material appropriately.
2. Remove large stems or unwanted pieces.
3. Install the collection tote and trimming components.
4. Load the drum without overfilling it.
5. Allow the material to tumble through the trimming process.
6. Inspect the finish periodically.
