Instead of requiring separate machines for different moisture levels, the Hybrid combines variable tumbler speed, adjustable blade speed, six position vacuum control, and adjustable machine tilt so operators can tune the trimming action to each batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single Hybrid processes up to 40 lb\/hr wet, 20 lb\/hr semi dry, or 15 lb\/hr dry. Two machines can also be connected directly through the integrated Tandem Link system, increasing rated throughput to as much as 88 lb\/hr wet, 45 lb\/hr semi dry, and 35 lb\/hr dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet Throughput: Up to 40 lb\/hr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry Throughput: Up to 15 lb\/hr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessing: Wet, Semi Dry \u0026amp; Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting System: Flex Knife + Helical Blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center of the machine is Triminator's factory calibrated Flex Knife system, which maintains contact with the stainless steel helical blade for a clean, scissor like cut without requiring routine blade gap adjustment.
