With the combination of increasing demand for quality cannabis and with marijuana use becoming legal in more places, harvesting companies need to make smarter decisions. If you’re ready to expand your business to keep up with rising demand, it’s important to choose the right cannabis harvesting equipment.

As part of a highly competitive market, you can’t afford to use a subpar cannabis harvesting machine. That would make it difficult to keep up, thereby giving your competitors a huge advantage.

Important Buying Considerations

To ensure that you end up with equipment that will help grow your operation, you want to consider certain things when buying a marijuana harvesting machine. Commonly called a bud trimmer, the right machine will make all the difference in the world.

Dry and Wet Cannabis Trimming

To start with, you’ll discover that cannabis harvesting equipment varies in how it processes buds. For example, some machines harvest only wet cannabis and hemp, while other models harvest only dry. There is one trimmer that can do both. When researching different manufacturers, make sure you select a trusted source for the type of cannabis harvesting machine you need.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements for a marijuana harvesting machine also vary. For a smaller operation, you could go with a machine that requires a 120-volt power source. For greater capacity harvesting, though, you’ll need 220-volt power. If your facility isn’t equipped for the higher voltage, you can have a licensed electrician update the electrical system.

Trim Rate

Something else of importance when choosing cannabis harvesting equipment is the speed of trimming buds. A well-designed machine can trim five gallons of either quality marijuana or hemp buds in roughly 20 minutes. For something faster, you can purchase a machine capable of trimming 20 pounds of dry buds or 60 pounds of wet buds in the same amount of time.

Maintenance Requirements

Properly maintaining your new marijuana harvesting equipment will ensure optimal performance. The best rule of thumb is to clean the equipment at the end of every day. However, depending on the quality of the bud, you might need to clean it following each batch.

Manual Versus Powered

Another factor to consider is choosing between manual or powered cannabis harvesting machines. If you’re no longer in the “hobby marijuana growing” category, you’ll appreciate a powered machine more than a manual unit. Not only will it speed up the trimming process, but it’s also far more convenient.
