How Automated Cannabis Trimmers Can Save Thousands Each Year

With the price of marijuana dropping and cultivators looking for ways to save, automated trimmers have become the industry standard for commercial-scale operations. Machine trimming delivers the same hand trim quality but at a large scale with huge cost savings.

A machine trimmer may seem like a substantial initial investment, however, the cost savings you see after just one harvest prove the machine’s worth and ROI. An automated trimmer, such as the Mobius M108S Trimmer has technology designed to ensure the cannabis flower stays intact and quality is never compromised. This ensures careful handling of your product, so you get the most return on your harvest and investment in the machine.

When Is it Time to Switch to Machine Trimming?

The legacy method of hand trimming is time-consuming and costly. The money and time spent on employee turnover, seasonal staff, hours in the trim room, losses from repetitive strain injuries, and product contamination all add to a large sum of lost revenue. If your operation has experienced or continues to work through these issues, it may be time to consider upgrading your workflow.

Automated cannabis trimming lends itself to ease and efficiency. Remove the variable and uncertainty with seasonal workers and keep your best staff while improving company culture, retention, and working conditions. In eliminating issues with employee turnover and consistency in your product, those savings can be invested and quickly returned in a trimmer.

Planning for the Investment

It’s crucial to consider the long-term benefits of integrating a trimmer into your operation. As you prepare finances, look for key factors in the equipment you’re considering. GMP readiness is one of the main components to properly scaling your cannabis business. Mobius commercial equipment is all constructed with food-grade stainless steel and is pressure-washable, making it integrate seamlessly with any GMP facility.

Other things to consider are feed rate and the final quality of your product. When it comes to trimming, consider wet versus dry trimming and the needs of your facility. One M108S unit has a throughput of 60-120 lbs/hour depending on moisture levels of the flower, replacing the work equivalent of 30-60 people. The trimmer provides 50% more access to the three helical blades and 108 inches of cutting surface. This technology delivers the industry’s closest, most consistent trim with uncompromising quality. Switching from hand trimming to automation frees up capital to keep your best employees and improve morale and subsequently, productivity.

Another factor moving from hand trim to machine is logistics. How will a trimmer fit in your facility, and how will your team operate a new piece of equipment? Customer support and service should not be overlooked when purchasing a trimmer. Ensuring you are equipped to operate the machine and customer satisfaction should be the top priority. Mobius for example has a 100% money-back guarantee to make sure customers are happy with the quality of their products.

Start Trimming, Start Saving

Automated cannabis trimming will save you thousands of dollars in labor expenses and operating costs. The workers needed to staff a trim line versus staffing hand trimmers each harvest season is drastically reduced. This reduced need will allow you to reallocate your critical employees to higher-value positions. Investing in your employees’ work lives will improve morale, productivity, and quality since your key employees will feel more invested in the business.

Having stable, well-trained workers is crucial for success by eliminating problems with contamination and consistency in your final product. The Mobius M108S Trimmer gives you the most return on your harvest by getting the most out of your product. With an integrated trim separator system, you can save trim for use in extracts, and pre-rolls, while your buds are kept

intact and trichomes are never compromised. Lab tests have verified that cannabis trimmed by a Mobius M108S Trimmer was +/- 2% of total THC and +/- 1% of terpenes than material that was trimmed by hand. The +/- range is a result of several factors, but what is generally overlooked when people think about hand trimming is that there are numerous losses involved in that process. Sticky scissors, gloves, and trim trays are all signs of losses that are generally overlooked in the legacy process but are demonstrated in the lab tests when compared to the Mobius trimmer.

Operations that have integrated automated trimmers into their process have seen significant savings, even after just one harvest cycle. Mobius customers realized 70%-90% cost savings when they switched to an M108S unit. The machine is also “hot-swappable”, allowing you to swap out the AirThread Tension Tumbler, bed knives, and helical blades mid-trim session, so your production does not need to stop for in-depth cleaning. With tool-free assembly and disassembly, the ability to hot swap will save you time and personnel in the trim room.

Scaling Your Operation

As you get a consistent return on investment with each harvest processed through the trimmer, you can begin to consider other forms of automation. A tandem trimmer set-up can supercharge your throughput with double the cutting length, churning out 140-260 lbs/hour depending on if your material is wet or dry.

With the savings gained from automated machine trimming, the money can be invested back into the business for further upgrades and improvements. Full-scale automation is something to consider to bring your operation to its full potential. Secure long-term health and self-sufficiency of your cultivation without relying on seasonal workers and the uncertainty of harvest times.

In a climate where the rules and regulations for the cannabis industry are constantly changing, automation and machine trimming can assure a successful harvesting cycle.
