Triminator XL Dry Bud Trimmer

The Triminator XL Dry Bud Trimmer is a commercial scale dry trimming machine built for facilities that need high throughput without relying on a vacuum based processing system. Rated for up to 60 lb of dry material per hour, the XL is the largest model in Triminator's Dry Series and combines a long cutting drum, Pure Trim shear band technology, closed loop trim collection, timer based operation, and a pivoting load and unload system.

Unlike vacuum driven trimming machines, the XL allows trim to fall directly from the drum into the collection bin. Triminator designed the system to reduce unnecessary agitation while keeping both flower and trim free from lubricants and blower contact. The manufacturer specifically positions the vacuum and lubricant free design as a way to preserve flower structure and reduce trichome loss.

• Dry Throughput: Up to 60 lb/hr
• Cutting Surface: 44.5" Drum
• Power: 120V, 15A
• Design: Vacuum Free + Lubricant Free

With a 60 lb/hr feed rate, 120V operation, tool free drum changes, pressure washable construction, and an optional stainless steel Kief Kit, the XL is built for repetitive commercial dry processing while keeping cleaning and material handling straightforward.

Up to 60 lb/hr Dry Throughput

The XL is rated to process up to 60 pounds of dry material per hour, or approximately 27 kg/hr.

That places it substantially above the smaller models in the Triminator Dry Series, which the manufacturer lists at 8 lb/hr for the Mini and 20 lb/hr for the standard Dry model.

For facilities dealing with larger harvest volumes, this higher throughput can reduce the amount of time and labor tied up in the trimming stage.

Pure Trim Technology

The XL uses Triminator's proprietary Pure Trim shear band system.

Its lubricant free design removes the need for oils or greases around the cutting interface, helping keep plant material cleaner during processing.

Triminator pairs this with a vacuum free trimming method so flower and trim are not pulled through impellers or blowers during collection.

Vacuum Free Closed Loop Design

The XL uses a closed loop trimming and collection system without fans.

Trim removed from the flower falls directly into the collection area instead of being transported by a vacuum.

Triminator states that this closed loop approach captures the trim without exposing it to blowers, helping preserve material for further processing while also reducing machine noise.

Gentle Dry Trimming

The XL's long, narrow drum is designed to maximize available cutting surface while minimizing unnecessary agitation.

By increasing cutting area without forcing product through a higher impact transport system, the machine aims to keep trimming efficient while maintaining a gentler handling process.

Triminator specifically describes this longer drum architecture as a way to increase production speed while reducing trichome agitation.

44.5" Cutting Surface

The XL is built around a large 44.5 inch cutting surface, giving it the processing area needed for commercial volume dry trimming.

The extended drum geometry helps maintain contact with the trimming surface while allowing larger batches to be processed efficiently.

This is one of the primary reasons the XL can reach its rated 60 lb/hr feed rate.

Lock & Load Pivot System

The XL incorporates a pivoting barrel system designed to simplify loading, trimming, and unloading.

Instead of forcing the operator to work around a permanently fixed drum position, the machine can be repositioned for different stages of the trimming cycle.

Triminator describes this as its Lock and Load pivot system, designed to make material handling easier throughout operation.

Set and Forget Timer

The built in timer allows operators to define how long each batch remains in the drum.

Once a preferred trim duration has been established for a specific material type, the same run time can be repeated across subsequent batches.

This helps create a more standardized trimming process and reduces the need for an operator to manually time every batch.

Tool Free Drum Swap

The XL is designed so the drum can be removed without tools.

This makes routine cleaning easier and also allows the machine to be converted for kief processing when paired with the optional Triminator Kief Kit.

The manufacturer lists tool free drum swap and cleaning as a standard feature of the XL platform.

Optional Kief Kit

An optional stainless steel Kief Kit converts the XL from a dry trimmer into a kief extraction tumbler.

The standard trimming drum is swapped for a 150 micron stainless steel mesh drum, allowing the same machine frame to be used for a second post harvest process.

Triminator describes the conversion as a quick swap system designed to maximize the utility of the equipment between trimming cycles.

GMP Ready Construction

The XL uses stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and food grade plastic at relevant touchpoints.

These materials are selected to support repeatable cleaning and sanitation in commercial processing environments.

Triminator describes the Dry Series as GMP ready and pressure washable for easier maintenance.

Pressure Washable

The machine is designed to support pressure washing for routine cleaning.

Because the system avoids a remote vacuum and complex hose network, the product path is comparatively straightforward to access.

Triminator lists pressure washable construction and tool free cleaning among the XL's standard features.

Quiet Operation

Removing the vacuum also reduces one of the major sources of noise found in many trimming systems.

Triminator specifically describes the XL as suitable for noise sensitive environments because it operates without a vacuum system.

For production rooms where multiple workers or machines are operating simultaneously, this can make the space easier to work in.

Heavy Duty Commercial Construction

The XL is designed for repetitive commercial use rather than occasional small batch processing.

The manufacturer describes the machine as using heavy duty construction with food grade materials while targeting high volume production environments.

At approximately 225 lb, the machine is substantial enough to remain stable during operation while still being configured around a relatively compact commercial footprint.

120V Power

Despite its commercial scale throughput, the XL operates from 120V power.

The manufacturer specifies a 15A power requirement, allowing the machine to be installed without the three phase electrical service required by some larger processing equipment.

Electrical service should still be properly sized and dedicated according to facility requirements.

UL Listed Electrical Components

Triminator states that all electrical components used in the XL are UL listed.

This provides additional confidence for commercial facilities evaluating electrical safety and installation requirements.

LTL Freight Delivery

The XL ships fully assembled in a large unmarked crate by LTL freight.

A truck height loading dock or forklift is required for unloading. If neither is available, liftgate delivery is required.

Triminator specifically identifies this delivery requirement on the manufacturer product page.

Recommended Operating Practices

• Confirm electrical service meets the 120V, 15A requirement before installation.
• Arrange for a loading dock, forklift, or liftgate delivery ahead of freight arrival.
• Set the built in timer according to material type and desired trim duration.
• Use the Lock & Load pivot system to position the barrel appropriately for loading, trimming, and unloading.
• Remove the drum without tools for routine cleaning between batches.
• Swap in the optional 150 micron stainless steel Kief Kit drum when converting the machine for kief processing.
• Pressure wash applicable components regularly to maintain GMP ready sanitation standards.
