Product Description

The EZ Trim Wander Trimmer is a commercial wet cannabis trimming system designed to provide the precision and operator control of hand trimming while increasing trimming efficiency.

Unlike batch-style trimming machines, the Wander keeps the operator in control of each cut. Adjustable vacuum suction gently draws unwanted leaf material away from the flower and into the Wander's cutting slot, where a rotating blade removes the leaf. The trimmed material is then carried through the vacuum system for collection.

Because the operator controls exactly where the Wander contacts the plant, the system can selectively remove leaves while helping preserve the flower's natural shape and appearance. Vacuum and cutting speed can be adjusted for different strains, flower sizes, densities, and plant conditions.

The Wander is designed primarily for wet trimming cannabis before hang drying. Plants are prepared by removing the main branches, individualizing stems, and removing large fan leaves. The remaining leaf material is then trimmed while the flower stays on the stem.

For commercial cultivators that prefer the appearance and control of hand trimming but want an alternative to repetitive scissor trimming, the Wander provides a powered, operator-controlled solution.

CannTrust reports choosing the Wander to achieve hand-trim quality at a faster pace, while longtime hand trimmer Master Yoda 207 reports being impressed with its speed, precision, and finished results. Customer experiences vary based on flower condition, strain, preparation, and operator technique.

HOW IT WORKS

The Wander Trimmer provides the perfect combination of hand trimming precision with the efficiency of a trimming machine. It is a wet trimmer that allows you to trim up to 1 pound an hour (dry weight),
“is designed to trim while minimizing damage to the flower”, collects all of your trim for processing, and still allows you to hang dry your plants.

The vacuum creates a suction that pulls the leaf away from the undisturbed flower and into the cutting slot, where the blade spins and cuts. Your undamaged, trimmed leaf is deposited into your bucket head shop vac for easy processing. The Wander Trimmer provides a tight, consistent cut without nicking your flowers.

HAND TRIM QUALITY

Trimming with the Wander Trimmer truly is hand trimming. Like scissors, the Wander Trimmer gives you complete control of the cutting slot, allowing you to trim your leaf without damaging your flowers. Instead of bringing your cutting blade to the leaf, the Wander Trimmer brings the leaf to your cutting blade, significantly increasing the speed and quality of your trim.

ELEMENTS OF CONTROL

Suction – The Wander Trimmer comes with a vacuum speed control that can be dialed up or down depending on the size of flowers you trim. For smaller flowers, you may want lower suction to prevent the flowers from being pulled off the stem. On the other hand, you may want to increase suction to quickly pull the leaf into the cutting slot for larger flowers, increasing your efficiency.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE

1.Remove the toolbox from the box

2.Remove the wand, motor, vacuum hose, vacuum suction controller and Velcro straps from the toolbox

3.Place the motor at one end of the table (on the right side if you are right-handed and the left side if you are left-handed)

4.Attach the wand to the end of the flex shaft cable by aligning the keyed end of the cable with the key at the base of the wand in the drive hub housing

5.Rotate the wand without pressing in to assist the keys alignment

6.Once the keys are aligned, continue rotating and press the wand down on the flex shaft until it clicks (the wand should rotate freely when it is connected to the cable)

7.Install the open end of the vacuum hose to the vacuum hose attachment on the wand (the first few times may take a little more effort)

8.Lay the vacuum hose along side the flex shaft cable and attach it to the flex shaft cable using the provided Velcro straps, attach a Velcro strap every 8-10 inches (zip ties can also be used)

9.Attach the other end of the vacuum to the hose on the wet/dry vacuum

Plug the vacuum power cord into the vacuum suction controller (do not plug the wand motor into the vacuum suction controller)
Plug the wand power cord into the back of the motor control box and into a power source
Open the sponges and place them in the rectangular compartments atop the toolbox
Fill one of the rectangular compartments with the sponge with water until the sponge has absorbed the water and the reservoir is half full (this moist sponge will be used to lubricate the inside of the wand while trimming helping to reduce build up)
Moisten the second sponge, this sponge will be used to clean the outside of the wand tube near the cutting slot
Optionally you can purchase a small crock pot and fill it with water and heat the water (the crock pot can be used to dip the wand in while trimming to clean the internal build up)

The Wander Trimmer is now ready for use

Disassemble the Wand

Unscrew the idle hub housing (cap)
Unscrew the handle
Unscrew the driver hub housing
Slide the cutting blade out of the wand tube
Slide off the bearings from the hubs
Pull out the idle hub and driver hub
Remove the vacuum hose attachment by loosening the set screw and slide off (do not over tighten the set screw)
Reverse a-g to reassemble

HOW TO OPERATE

a.It’s important to have a workspace that will accommodate the components as well as allow you to keep the flex shaft cable and vacuum hose straight as you’re trimming both for ergonomics as well as minimizing friction within the flex shaft.

b.We first want to prep the plants for trimming. First remove the main branches from the stock, next individualize the stems from the main branch. i. Now we will remove the fan or water leaves. This is typically easiest and quickest to do by hand and simply pulling the leaves down against the grain or plucking them out of the flowers.

c.Now that we have our material prepped and stems individualized, take a cup of water and start to fill the reservoir atop the toolbox, saturating the first sponge and continue to fill the reservoir until it’s about ¾ full. The saturated sponge will be used to lubricate the wand as we are trimming. Dampen the second sponge we will use this sponge for cleaning the outside of the wand.

d.For more information on the wand components and assembly please watch the wand assembly video. The cutting blade sleeves inside the tube and is off set from the center. This creates relief around the cutting blade, allowing the leaf matter to freely pass through the tube and into the vacuum hose. The blade is only tight to the tube at the cutting slot i. Overtime build up will start to occur inside of the tube. To ensure an efficient trim session there a couple of methods we use to keep the inside of the tube clean. ii. The first method is to give the wand a quick and light tap on the saturated sponge; this allows the suction to draw in a very small amount of moisture and helps to slow down the buildup process. Be sure to implement the sponge tap every few branches or so.

e.Secondly, every 45 minutes to an hour depending on the strain, we will turn of the vacuum and with the motor running dip the wand into the crock pot. The current from the water will help clean out the inside of the tube. Turn the motor off and allow the water to drain from the wand through the hole in the cap.

f.The last thing we will want to address as we trim is the buildup that will occur on the outside of the tube, turn the motor off and using the semi abrasive side of the damp sponge wipe off the buildup on the outside of the tube. This is something you will want to do throughout the trim session. It only takes a few seconds but will increase your efficiency tremendously.

g.Now we are ready to start trimming. Turn on the motor and adjust the speed control to just above medium. Turn on the vacuum suction control and adjust the suction in between medium and high. You may need to turn the motor up for really sticky strains and turn the suction down for the smaller and more delicate strains. However, we recommend starting off with the motor on medium and the suction between medium and high

h.As far as approaching the flower with the wand, we want to catch the leaf at the tip and allow the suction to pull the leaf into the cutting slot. This is easiest to do with a quick and light tapping, in a circular motion, like you are peeling a potato. As you become more comfortable with this technique, and the wand, the action can be sped up quite a bit and ultimately give you a 60-70% faster trim time over scissors.

a.The wand is most effective when you trim the flowers wet and although the wand does allow you to trim after the flowers are slightly wilted, it’s much more efficient when they are fresh, and the leaves are sticking out.

b.As you hold onto the stem slowly rotate the flower as you quickly and lightly tap it with the wand. Bend the flower away from the stem to trim the harder to reach areas.

c.It helps to rest the flowers and the base of the wand on your work surface as you trim.

d.To remove crow’s feet or leaves at the base of the flowers, simply follow the leaf in from the tip and rotate the wand in.

e.Adjusting the suction and cutting blade speed to accommodate the size and density of the strain, will give you the control to trim precisely and quickly without damaging your product.

f.If you have another set of hands, it’s best if one person preps the plants while the other trims

g.Just remember give the wand an occasional crock pot dip, keep the outside of the tube clean and consistently tap the wand on the sponge.

h.When you’re done trimming or it’s time to take a break. Hang your product to dry and empty out the clipped leaf from the vacuum. It’s important not to let the clipped leaf overfill or sit in the vacuum for long periods of time. Simply empty out the vacuum and spread very thin over cardboard or some other material that will help wick away the moisture.

i.If you are going to start trimming again and before you take your break, we want to quickly clean the main wand components. This is easiest to do as soon as you’re done trimming and while the plant matter is still fresh. Disassemble the wand and using the tube brush scrub the inside of the tube. Push a paper towel through the tube to remove any degree then wipe off the tube and vacuum connect. Next, we will clean the blade. Be sure that you have thoroughly cleaned both the blade and tube and that all of the plant matter has been removed. Reassemble the wand and you’re ready to start trimming again.

j.It’s important to clean the entire unit after each use. This is also easiest to do if you clean the unit as soon as you’re done trimming and while the plant matter is still fresh. Please watch our Wand cleaning videos for more information.

Tips and Tricks

Keep the outside of the tube clean by wiping off periodically with the semi abrasive side of the damp sponge
Tap the wand ever so lightly on the wet sponge to keep the inside of the tube lubricated
Clean before the buildup dries
Purchase an extra tube, blade or complete wand assembly for a quick swap out while the other soaks

HOW TO CLEAN

Items you will need to perform a proper cleaning: 2 containers, HD simple green (purple), Denatured alcohol, Tube brush, Sponge, Paper towel or rags
We recommend using 2 containers, 1 for soaking and the other for rinsing, as well as a toothbrush for cleaning the wand.
Start by filling the first container with some heavy-duty simple green, fill the second container with water as it will be used for rinsing. d. Disassemble the wand.
If the blade is stuck inside of the tube because it had not been cleaned right after use, soak the tube and blade in some water and then using the driver hub and a hard surface, push the blade up through the tube and slide the blade out. Be sure to never use any tools to remove the blade. i. Loosen the set screw on the vacuum hose attachment and place all of the wand components, excluding the bearings, inside of the simple green solution to soak.
While the wand parts are soaking, spray and wipe clean the other components. Alcohol can be used to clean the toolbox and motor control box. However, never use alcohol when cleaning the wand.
Now using a sponge and paper towel thoroughly clean, and wipe dry the bearings.
Next, we will clean the main tube. Scrub the inside of the tube with tube brush. You can also use a toothbrush and implement both the bristle side as well as the plastic side to remove any stubborn build up. Scrub the outside of the tube. Rinse the tube in water, push a paper towel through the inside of the tube and wipe dry.
Now we will clean the blade. Using the tube brush and or the toothbrush thoroughly remove all of the buildup on the inside and outside of the blade. Rinse and wipe dry.
Clean the vacuum hose connect and the driver hub housing. Be sure to clean the threads on all of the wand components.
When you have all of the parts cleaned, rinsed and dried, reassemble the wand. Make sure you don’t over tighten the set screw on the vacuum hose attachment. Turn the unit on and verify that it is operating correctly.
Now, Rinse out the sponges and the tube brush.
To clean the vacuum hose, coil it in the bottom of a 5-gallon bucket. If using the bucket head, coil its hose on top. Add simple green and water at about a 1 to 12 ratio. After soaking, Rinse the hoses out with a garden hose or pressure washer.
It’s also important to keep the vacuum you are using clean and free of mold. Be sure to disinfect and wipe clean periodically. We also recommend that you replace the vacuum filter as necessary.
The last thing to do is pack the unit back into the toolbox. Place the motor inside the main compartment; tuck the hose under the flex shaft cable and along the side of the motor box. Coil the rest of the hose around the motor. Place the vacuum hose adapter, the vacuum suction control and the main motor power cord inside of the toolbox. Place the wand and cleaning tube on the tray. The sponges, Velcro and Allen key are stored in the top compartments. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

MASTER YODA 207

Master Yoda 207, a longtime hand trimmer who harvests on a recurring schedule, reports being impressed with the speed and precision of the Wander Trimmer after using it alongside his traditional hand-trimming process. After approximately 15–20 minutes of use, he rated the Wander 5 out of 5 and described it as a potential replacement for scissors in his workflow. He also says the time savings could help the equipment pay for itself, although he does not provide a specific labor or throughput figure.

Hey guys, it's Master Yoda 2 0 7, and today I'm here to show you a great new product by easy trim harvesting. It's the wander trimmer. This is really gonna help me bang out some of my trimming. I've been doing hand trimming for a long time. It's a huge time suck and I'm really excited to have a product that's gonna make this really fast and easy. All growing is a passion for me. Certainly trimming flour is not a passion of mine at all. What I found the easy trim harvesting, after doing a little bit of research, uh, it really looked like this is a well quality made equipment. It's commercial grade, it's gonna last forever. Uh, everything is made outta stainless steel. It's gonna be easy to clean up. Alright, so let's crack open this box and see what's inside. So we have the wander trimmer flex shaft. We have a little bit of, uh, grease to grease this if we do need to use this. We have a cleaning brush, we have some Velcro, we have the wander trimmer, we have the power cable, we have the variable speed controller. This is what's gonna control the speed of the vacuum. We have our hose tubing and this, we're gonna connect to the vacuum. We have the motor assembly and the nice thing about this is it kinda spins for us, which is kind of cool. So it's gonna make it really easy for it to stay out of our way. So I wanted to talk to you about some of the issues that I've had with hand trimming before we get into the Wander River. Here you go and you're starting to to to trim with your hands and your scissors and all of a sudden, like you're getting tired and then you start getting lazy and all of a sudden you're marring into your buds. And I really hope that I'm gonna find a way to correct that so it doesn't happen in the future. There have been some tricks that I've done to try to help speed up my drying process. Uh, and mainly one of the biggest tricks that I've had is just to try to kind of, uh, normally either over dry my product a little bit. Um, and other tricks are, you know, kind of doing a dry trim. Uh, but I find that, you know, when I wet trim it makes it a lot easier for me to get into my canna roll, which is where I'm gonna store and dry my material and cure it. I don't want to do that to my material. I don't want to over dry it. I don't wanna, uh, do any of that. So that's been my biggest trick, but it doesn't, you know, it doesn't add to the quality of my products. Alright, so now that we have everything all set up, we're gonna go, we're gonna turn our vacuum cleaner on, we're gonna turn our motor assembly on and we're gonna get started. So power the Vacuum cleaner on gonna power this off. Holds really nice in my hand and, uh, this is fast. Gonna be able to retire my scissors. I don't know if you can see a smile on my face, but this is, uh, going to be a game changer. So I, uh, I do a perpetual grow and I harvest every other week. And this is where that time savings really kind of is gonna come into play and help me out is my first time using this machine. So I've been Using this for probably, uh, 15, 20 minutes and now that I've got a little experience under my belt, I will tell you that this is super high and tight. It's really precise. You can press into the butt a little bit. It's non-destructive. So easy a, a kid could do this. It's, it's just an amazing pr really well built. It's really accurate. It, it takes off what you want to do. And to be honest, when you start sucking in some of those big fan leaves, it's kind of fun to watch. It just grinds it up and just removes it and sucks it away. And it is just, I feel like a kid in a candy store. I really, I really, I'm really happy with this product. There's a blade here, so you do wanna be careful, but it's, I feel very safe using this and I think that that's really important that you feel safe and confident using a product. I feel like this product with the Canna trel are like two products that are like two peas in a pod. You know, using the Canna trel with this is, you know, and, and, and wet trimming really is, is the best way to make use of both products gonna make the end product better. And again, this is gonna preserve your terpenes because you're not really removing anything and you're also lessening your chance for, uh, any molder though. I mean, there, there are two products that are absolutely amazing. And then when you pull these out at the end of the day, you know, these are gonna be ready to, ready to consume and they're gonna have wonderful bag of you. I, I really think that that makes these two products just, you know, two peas in a pod and, and just, just a winning combination. So I think it's time that we wrap up this video and, uh, so I wanted to give you my final thoughts on the wander trimmer. And this is a pretty amazing device, very well made. I would give this five out of five I think for a commercial grower. I think it's a necessity. It's gonna save you a lot of time, which is gonna pay for the device very quickly. For a home grower, I think this is an amazing product and a lot of times, uh, certainly for home growers, I think we don't think about the finishing of our product. We stick all our money in nutrients and the light and the tents and stuff like that. And a lot of times that's really exciting. We don't think about what are we gonna do at the end. Having a product like this is really going to, you know, really make your your life a lot easier. Certainly gonna get you outta trim gel really fast. So you're gonna appreciate that you're gonna come out with amazing products that is gonna look beautiful and have great bag appeal. If you're a craft grower, certainly is something that you're gonna need. I mean, I'm just a home grower, but I like my stuff to look nice. I wanted to have good bag appeal, so I highly recommend this for, you know, commercial and the home grow. Sure.

CANNATRUST

Chris from CannTrust reports that the Wander Trimmer was their preferred solution for achieving hand-trim quality at a faster pace. Before using the equipment, CannTrust was concerned that a powered trimming tool might damage the cannabis during trimming. After using the Wander, Chris reports that they did not experience flower damage while trimming and were pleased with the equipment.

Audio Jungle. Hey, it's Chris from Cantrust up in Toronto. Just wanted to say thanks for hooking us up with the Wander Trimmer. We found it was the best solution for getting a hand trim quality at a fast pace. We are very pleased with the quality and the packaging of the unit. We found it never damaged the cannabis as we were trimming it, which is something that we were fearing with automated machine for hand trimming. Thank you again.

Frequently asked questions

The EZ Trim Wander Trimmer is a powered wet-trimming tool designed to combine the precision and operator control of hand trimming with greater trimming efficiency.

Instead of manually cutting each leaf with scissors, suction draws the leaf away from the flower and into the Wander's cutting slot. The operator still determines exactly where and how the flower is trimmed.

The Wander is designed primarily as a wet cannabis trimmer. Flower remains on individualized stems while the operator uses the Wander to remove unwanted leaf material before hang drying.

This makes the Wander particularly useful for growers who prefer the control and appearance associated with hand trimming but want to reduce the amount of time spent trimming with scissors. The current page specifies production of up to approximately 1 pound per hour based on dried finished weight.

The Wander uses adjustable vacuum suction to pull leaves away from the flower and into a cutting slot. A rotating blade inside the wand cuts the leaf, and the removed material travels through the vacuum hose into the collection system.

Because the operator controls the position of the cutting slot, individual leaves can be targeted much like they would be when trimming with scissors.

The Wander is specifically designed to maintain the operator control associated with hand trimming while replacing repetitive scissor cutting with a powered cutting system.

CannTrust reports selecting the Wander as its preferred solution for achieving hand-trim quality at a faster pace, while Master Yoda 207—a longtime hand trimmer—reports being pleased with the speed, precision and finished results.

Individual results depend on flower condition, preparation and operator technique.

The Wander is designed so suction pulls leaf material toward the cutting slot while the operator controls where the wand contacts the plant. Suction can also be reduced when working with smaller or more delicate flowers.

CannTrust specifically reports that flower damage was a concern before using the Wander, but that their experience with the equipment alleviated that concern.

As with any trimming method, proper operation and plant preparation are important to finished quality.

Yes. Vacuum suction can be adjusted according to flower size and condition, and the page also recommends adjusting motor speed for particularly sticky or delicate strains.

Smaller or more delicate flower may benefit from lower suction, while larger flower may allow greater suction to draw leaves into the cutting slot more quickly.

Before trimming, remove the main branches from the stalk, individualize the stems, and remove the larger fan or water leaves. The Wander can then be used to remove the remaining unwanted leaf material while the flower remains on the stem.

After wet trimming, the prepared branches can continue through the operation's normal drying process.

For the complete harvest workflow, see the EZ Trim Harvest Playbook.

Labor savings depend on the operator, strain, flower structure, existing hand-trimming speed and harvest volume. The current Wander specifications list production of up to approximately 1 pound per hour based on dried finished weight for a single operator.

Rather than assuming a fixed savings percentage, commercial operations should compare their existing hand-trimming labor and cost per pound with their expected Wander production.
