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)

Use our integrated temperature monitoring system for best results.
