HOW IT WORKS

The Bud Sorter is available in 2 different sizes: The Bud Sorter & The Bud Sorter Mini. The sorters let you accurately, efficiently, and safely sort your buds into shake, popcorn, small, medium, and large buds. Without vibration or moving parts, your buds stay in pristine condition. The Bud Sorter is typically used as a quality control station.

• Place roughly 1lb of dried, trimmed buds onto the ¼” grate. Use the soft, food-grade brushes to gently move the product over the different-sized grates, sorting the buds by size. 
• The Bud Sorter is best used after drying and trimming but before quality control and packaging. Removing the small buds and shake from the QC and touch-up process will significantly improve efficiency. 

Sort From Both Sides to Double Productivity

If you only want to remove small buds and shake, you can double your productivity by sorting from both sides. Place a ¼” and ½” grate on both sides of the Bud Sorter and brush your product into the center bin. 

Doubles as a Work Surface

When you are done sorting, place the lower shelf on top of the Bud Sorter to create another work surface for your trim room. 

Additional grates can be custom made to your preferred size.

• The Bud Sorter Sorting Grate Sizes come standard in the following sizes (custom sizes can be made in 1/8” increments): 1/4”, ½”, 3/4”, 1”, 1 1/4”
• The Bud Sorter Mini Sorting Grate Sizes come standard in the following sizes (custom sizes can be made in 1/8” increments): 1/4”, ½”, 3/4”
