Filter Trolley Systems FAQ

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)

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Throughput varies by material:

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)

Use our integrated temperature monitoring system for best results.
