Amped

Tumble Sifting Built for Real Biomass Volume

Dry sift rewards gentle, consistent agitation. Too much force pushes leaf particles through the screen, and too little leaves heads stuck to the trim. Amped's tumblers solve that balance mechanically, rotating material against a fixed stainless mesh at a controlled speed so every batch separates the same way, whether the operator runs one load a week or several a day.

Why Amped Keeps the Sift Clean

Plenty of dry sift tumblers spin a screen. Amped concentrates on the variables that decide sift quality and machine life: screen precision, agitation control, and build quality.

• Precision 60-Mesh Screen: The Wolverine's drum wraps material in US-made 304 stainless 60-mesh with 0.0092" openings, roughly 234 microns. That opening passes trichome heads while trim and leaf stay inside the drum.
• Dial-In Agitation Control: A 200W motor turns the Wolverine's drum through a neodymium magnetic clutch, with speed adjustable from 0 to 45 RPM. Operators tune agitation to the material in the drum instead of accepting one fixed speed.
• Shop-Built and Run-Tested: Amped welds, wires, and run-tests every Wolverine in its Washington shop before it ships, then finishes the enclosure in FDA-approved powder coat that wipes down easily between batches.

Matching an Amped Tumbler to Your Harvest Volume

The right machine comes down to how much dry trim the operation produces and how much floor space the processing room can give up.

• Craft Rooms and Small Batches: The Mini sits on a workbench or rolling cart. Front and top viewing panels let operators judge separation without stopping the run, and the slide-out tray makes cleanup between strains quick.
• Commercial Biomass Processing: The Wolverine's 69-gallon drum and 10–15 kg batch size suit hemp and cannabis operations that collect trim by the bin. It runs on 110V or 220V, so it fits either a standard circuit or dedicated facility power.
• Ecosystem Tip: Add a spare Wolverine drum. Swap in a clean drum as soon as a batch finishes and clean the used one while the next load tumbles. The spare fits the Wolverine only.

Getting More from Every Tumble Run

Clean sift starts before the drum turns. A few habits keep yields high and contamination low.

• Start With Fully Dry Material: Load only dry trim and biomass. Moist leaf clings to resin heads and clogs the mesh, which slows separation and drags plant matter into the tray.
• Bag Early and Late Pulls Separately: Short, gentle first passes typically produce the cleanest heads, while longer runs pull more volume with more plant matter. Keep each pull in its own container so the top grade stays top grade.
• Clear the Screen Between Strains: Resin build-up narrows the mesh openings and carries flavor from one cultivar into the next. Inspect and clean the drum before every new strain.

Dry material, sorted pulls, and a clear screen give sift that presses well. Operators who plan to turn sift into concentrate can move it straight to a rosin press, or compact it for storage with pollen press molds.
