The key to a quality trim is control. The Satellite is a wet and dry trimmer that offers the most control of any commercial trimmer on the market. It is for the commercial cultivator who requires efficiency but refuses to compromise the quality and integrity of their product.
Key Features:
The untrimmed buds enter the machine through the inner lid on the top and disperse onto the grate. Below the grate is the cutting blade, and below the cutting blade is the fan blade. The two blades spin together. The fan blade creates vortex and suction, moving and dispersing the buds as they are trimmed.
Blade depth can be dialed down for strains with an irregular shape to avoid cutting the tips or dialed tight to the grate for dense, compact buds.
Vortex and suction can be controlled by altering the amount of airflow entering the inner lids. With the lids open, you will get mostly suction. With the lids closed, you will get mostly vortex. Use the airflow controller to optimize the best combination of vortex and suction for bud size, density, and wet or dry trim.
The rotating, soft, food-grade silicone fingers and delicate brushes are used to help separate and gently roll the product along the grate.
Both the direction and speed of the rotor can be controlled. For example, slowing down the rotor will minimize agitation of the flower, while running the rotor at higher rates or in reverse can create more agitation and quicker trim cycles.
Many factors impact the trim time of a bud, including size, density, leaf quantity, rigidity, moisture content, and more. Therefore, it is essential to adjust your batch time accordingly. Proper Batch Time Control will minimize touch-ups while ensuring your buds are only in the machine for a short time, reducing the potential for damage.
The Satellite works equally well as a wet trimmer or dry trimmer. Install the correct grate, adjust your airflow, rotor speed, and blade depth, and you are ready to go.
Since the bud is being trimmed the entire time it is in contact with the grate, cycle times for the Satellite are much lower than with tunnel-style trimmers, reducing the potential for damage.
The Satellite’s unique filtration system comes with four collection bags with varying micron levels for separating and collecting the leaf as it is trimmed. The leaf enters the first bag, which is agitated by the airflow from the fan blade, shaking and pressing it through the filtration system. The result is two bags of leaf and two bags of kief.
All of our equipment is meant to help solve a bottleneck in cannabis and hemp harvesting workflow.
Implementing the Bud Bucker, Bud Trimmer and Bud Sorter as a complete system maximizes the value of each individual piece of equipment.

TOP 3 TRIMMING TIPS
1. REMOVE ALL FAN LEAVES with exposed stems
(Ideally, defoliate a little bit every day throughout the grow cycle to avoid creating a huge project at harvest time)
2. INDIVIDUALIZE ALL BUDS and trim stem to less than ¼”
(do not allow clusters of buds on a single stem or single buds with long stems to enter the machine)
3. DRY ALL BUDS completely and to 8-9%
(check dryness by rubbing two buds together or by flicking the leaves with your finger, if the leaf doesn’t come off then it isn’t dry enough)
Unique, Adjustable Controls
Bud Movement through Airflow and Suction
Airflow is correctly adjusted when it moves the product around the grate while allowing the silicone fingers to separate and roll the product. Properly adjusting the airflow and suction eliminates excessive handling and unnecessary agitation.
Rotation & Separation of Product
You will want to adjust this based on whether you are trimming wet or dry product, as well as for different strains. Properly adjusting the hemp trimmer’s rotation and separation will reduce batch times.
Wet & Dry Trim Functionality
Properly adjusting the cutting blade and implementing the different grates for wet and dried products will ensure a quality trim without damaging buds.
Batch Time Control
The Satellite Bud Trimmer allows you to watch the product as it is being trimmed and adjust cycle times based on what you see during each batch. Every strain and batch is different, so adjusting accordingly is essential. Proper batch time control ensures that buds are trimmed to your desired level of quality.
Trim Collection Features
Our patented, unique filtration system features four collection bags, each with varying micron levels for separating and collecting the leaf as it’s trimmed.
Separating the trim and kief boasts plenty of upsides for both extraction and creating new revenue streams. Additionally, these bags can also be utilized for manual dry sifting.

Defoliation is the most critical element of the growing and harvesting process and effects every step of the process,
from the moment the plants start growing, until the product is packaged and ready for the shelf. The key to proper
defoliation is removing all unnecessary fan leaves as soon as they start developing. A simple rule is to remove all fan
leaves from the bottom 3rd of the plant during the vegetative and flowering phase and then removing all remaining fan
leaves during the flushing period or 10 days prior to harvest.
The following are all the benefits and downstream effects proper pruning, and defoliation generates:
Benefits of Defoliation During the Growing Phase:
1. Spreading out defoliation over the entire grow cycle reduces the labor over time
2. Supporting the plants with trellis or scrog netting is much easier
3. Light penetration and absorption are drastically improved
4. Air circulation is increased
5. Less nutrients & water is required and is distributed more efficiently
6. Less CO2 is required if it is being utilized
7. Less risk for pests & diseases
8. Pests & Diseases are much easier to mitigate
9. Flower structure and density improves
10. Trichome & Cannabinoid Development Improves
Benefits of Defoliation During the Drying Process:
11. Less space is required for drying (fan leaves are roughly 20% of total plant volume)
12. Drying time is slightly reduced
13. Less humidity released into room from plants
14. Air circulation is increased
15. Risk of developing mold or mildew is significantly reduced
16. Consistent moisture levels from plant to plant is easier to achieve
17. Much easier to dry properly for dry trimming with a machine (drying sugar leaves without over drying buds)
Benefits of Defoliation During the Bucking Process:
18. Easier to see individual buds
19. Less material to handle
20. Bucking process is more efficient
Benefits of Defoliation During the Trimming Process:
21. Reduced trimming cycle time due to less material
22. Eliminates crows’ feet when wet trimming
23. Eliminates hook stems when dry trimming (stems retain more water and leave a hook at the base of the bud)
24. Eliminates chlorophyll from trimmed leaf
25. Eliminates touch-up after machine trimming
26. Machine is easier to clean
Benefits of Defoliation Post Trimming and During Extraction Process:
27. Eliminates touch-up of flower prior to packaging
28. Improves look and taste of concentrates
29. Improves extraction Potency due to lack of chlorophyll in trim
30. Reduces solvent required due to higher volume of quality trim in each batch
