What are the dimensions of the filter trolley?
Specs
The standard filter trolley dimensions are:
- Width: 31.5 inches (80 cm)
- Depth: 41 inches (104 cm)
- Height: 41 inches (104 cm)
- Weight (empty): 110 lbs (50 kg)
What materials are used in construction?
Specs
Our filter trolleys are built with:
- Frame: 304 stainless steel
- Tank: Food-grade PPH plastic
- Wheels: Heavy-duty polyurethane casters (2 locking)
- Filter mesh: 25-220 micron stainless steel options
How do I properly load material into the trolley?
Operation
Recommended loading procedure:
- Pre-chill material to 34-38°F (1-3°C)
- Fill no more than 3/4 capacity for optimal agitation
- Distribute material evenly across the filter bed
- For fresh frozen, break up large clumps before loading
- Use the integrated loading ramp for ergonomic transfer
What's the optimal water-to-material ratio?
Operation
The ideal ratio depends on material type:
- Fresh frozen: 4:1 water-to-material by volume
- Dry trim: 6:1 water-to-material by volume
- Bubble hash: 8:1 water-to-material by volume
Note: These are starting points - adjust based on your specific material characteristics.
How do I adjust the agitation intensity?
Operation
Agitation can be controlled through:
- Speed dial: 5 adjustable settings (1-5)
- Pulse mode: Intermittent agitation cycles
- Water level: Higher levels reduce agitation intensity
- Ice quantity: More ice increases turbulence
Start with setting 3 and adjust based on material response.
How do I clean the filter mesh between batches?
Maintenance
Recommended cleaning procedure:
- Rinse with cold water immediately after use
- Use soft bristle brush for stubborn particles
- Soak in food-grade cleaner weekly
- Inspect for tears or deformation monthly
- Replace mesh every 6-12 months depending on usage
What routine maintenance is required?
Maintenance
Maintenance schedule:
- Daily: Wipe down surfaces, check wheel locks
- Weekly: Inspect seals and gaskets, lubricate moving parts
- Monthly: Check electrical connections, test emergency stop
- Quarterly: Deep clean all components, replace worn parts
What micron sizes are available for the filter mesh?
Performance
Standard mesh sizes:
- 25 micron (full melt)
- 45 micron (premium quality)
- 73 micron (all-purpose)
- 90 micron (high yield)
- 120 micron (commercial)
- 160 micron (initial filtration)
- 220 micron (pre-filtration)
Custom sizes available upon request.
How does yield compare to traditional methods?
Performance
Yield comparisons:
- 8-12% higher yields than hand washing
- 5-7% higher yields than competing mechanical systems
- More consistent particle size distribution
- Reduced contaminants in final product
Results vary based on starting material quality.
What's the maximum throughput capacity?
Performance
Throughput varies by material:
| Material Type | Per Batch | Per Hour | Per 8-Hour Shift |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh Frozen Flower | 44 lbs | 88 lbs | 350-400 lbs |
| Dry Trim | 8 lbs | 32 lbs | 125-150 lbs |
| Bubble Hash | 6 lbs | 24 lbs | 100-120 lbs |
How does water temperature affect results?
Performance
Water temperature impacts:
- 34-38°F (1-3°C): Ideal for trichome preservation
- 39-45°F (4-7°C): Good balance of yield and quality
- 46-50°F (8-10°C): Higher yields but reduced quality
- Above 50°F (10°C): Not recommended (terpene loss)
