Unlock Peak Purity: Precision Kief Extraction
Dry sift tumblers offer a refined approach to concentrate production, efficiently separating valuable trichomes from plant material. This solventless method maintains the integrity of delicate compounds, ensuring a pure, high-quality end product without chemical residues.
Maximize Your Kief Yields
These tumblers are engineered for optimal trichome collection, turning trim into potent kief with minimal effort.
-
Automated Sifting: Gentle rotation ensures maximum trichome release and separation. The
Bubble Magic Pollen Tumbler 150 Dry Sifter delivers consistent results across various batch sizes.
-
Adjustable Micron Screens: Control kief quality by selecting specific mesh sizes, allowing for tailored purity levels.
-
Preserved Potency: Minimize degradation and maintain the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes through a controlled, dry process.
Choosing the Right Dry Sifter
Selecting the ideal dry sift tumbler depends on your processing volume and specific extraction goals.
Mastering Solventless Extraction
Optimize your dry sifting process to achieve the highest quality and yield.
-
Material Preparation: Freeze your plant material for at least 24 hours before tumbling. This makes trichome stalks brittle, aiding in efficient separation.
-
Optimal Run Times: Experiment with short, controlled tumble cycles to achieve desired purity levels, increasing duration for higher yields with a potential trade-off in purity.
-
Controlled Environment: Maintain a cool, dry environment (below 60°F / 15°C) to prevent static electricity and preserve delicate terpenes during sifting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dry sift tumbler?
A dry sift tumbler is an automated machine that separates trichomes (pollen or kief) from dried plant material through gentle agitation over fine mesh screens. It uses a solventless mechanical process.
How does a dry sift tumbler work?
Dried, often frozen, plant material enters a rotating barrel lined with a micron screen. As the barrel spins, the material tumbles, dislodging brittle trichomes. These trichomes then fall through the screen into a collection tray below, separating them from the bulk plant matter.
What are the benefits of using a dry sift tumbler for extraction?
Dry sift tumblers offer a solventless extraction method, preserving the natural purity and full terpene profile of the plant material. They are efficient, reducing manual labor, and produce a high-quality kief suitable for various applications, including rosin pressing or infusion.
What types of material can be processed in a dry sift tumbler?
Dry sift tumblers are specifically designed for processing dried cannabis or hemp trim and flower. Pre-freezing the material before tumbling helps to make the trichomes more brittle, improving separation efficiency.
How do I choose the right micron screen for my tumbler?
Screen selection depends on desired kief purity. Smaller micron sizes (e.g., 70-90 microns) produce purer, finer kief, ideal for rosin pressing. Larger micron sizes (e.g., 120-150 microns) yield higher quantities but may include more plant particulate, suitable for edibles or general use.
How do I clean and maintain a dry sift tumbler?
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance. Disassemble the tumbler, gently brush off any residual plant material from the screens and interior, and wipe down surfaces with a food-grade cleaning solution or isopropyl alcohol. Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembly.
