Twister

Twister builds continuous-feed bud trimmers and gentle batch dry trimmers for operations ranging from small commercial to full industrial scale. The T-series (T2, T4, T6) handles wet and dry trimming with throughput scaling from roughly 4 lbs/hr up to 19+ lbs/hr, while the BatchOne line focuses on low-contact dry trimming for craft-quality output. Matching the right model means weighing your harvest volume against your trim quality requirements, and whether your workflow calls for continuous throughput or batch-by-batch control.

Twister: Complete Guide

How Do I Choose the Right Twister Trimmer?

Twister offers two distinct trimming approaches. The T-series (T2, T4, T6) are continuous-feed machines that process wet or dry material through a rotating tumbler and cutting reel, scaling from small commercial harvests up to industrial volumes. The BatchOne line (Go and Pro) takes a different approach: gentle, low-contact dry tumbling designed for operations that prioritize trichome preservation over raw speed. Beyond trimmers, Twister also makes buckers, sorters, conveyors, and cleaning systems that integrate into a complete harvest processing line.

Which Twister Model Fits My Operation?

Harvest volume is the primary factor. Each model targets a specific throughput range:

Harvest Scale Trim Method Recommended Model
Small / Home commercial Dry batch BatchOne Go
Small commercial Wet & dry continuous Twister T2
Medium commercial Wet & dry continuous Twister T4
Large / Industrial Wet & dry continuous Twister T6

Operations that need both trimming and destemming can add the Twister B4 Bucker upstream of any T-series trimmer. For automated material handling between stations, Twister's feed and QC conveyors keep the line moving without manual transfer.

What Should I Look for When Choosing a Twister System?

  • Trim method (wet vs. dry vs. batch): Wet trimming right after harvest is faster and produces a tighter cut. Dry trimming after curing preserves more terpenes but requires gentler handling. The T-series handles both modes by swapping tumblers, while the BatchOne line is dry-only and designed for minimal trichome contact.
  • Throughput requirements: The T2 suits operations processing a few pounds per hour. The T4 with variable speed control covers mid-range facilities, and the T6 is built for large-scale continuous runs. Tandem configurations double throughput by running two trimmers in parallel.
  • Trim Saver integration: Twister's Trim Saver system collects sugar leaf and trim material separately during processing. Combo packages bundle the trimmer and Trim Saver together, which matters if you plan to process the collected trim into extracts or edibles.
  • Tumbler selection: T2 and T4 tumblers come in narrow and standard widths. Narrow tumblers provide a tighter cut for smaller flowers, while standard tumblers work for typical bud sizes. The T6 uses an extreme tumbler built for high-volume processing.
  • Variable speed control: The T4 and T6 offer variable speed, letting you dial in the aggressiveness of the trim for different flower densities and moisture levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Twister T-series trimmer and a BatchOne?
The T-series (T2, T4, T6) are continuous-feed machines that process material through a spinning tumbler and cutting reel, handling both wet and dry flower. The BatchOne is a batch-style dry trimmer that uses a gentler tumbling action with no cutting reel, prioritizing trichome preservation over speed. Choose the T-series for volume, and BatchOne for craft-quality output.
Can I use a Twister trimmer for both wet and dry trimming?
Yes, all T-series models (T2, T4, T6) support both wet and dry trimming. You switch between modes by using different tumblers optimized for each moisture level. The BatchOne line is designed specifically for dry trimming only.
What does a Twister Trim Saver do?
The Trim Saver collects sugar leaf and trim byproduct during the trimming process and separates it from waste material. This collected trim retains trichomes and can be used for extraction, edibles, or pre-rolls. Combo packages bundle the Trim Saver directly with the trimmer for a streamlined setup.
How do I choose between the narrow and standard tumbler?
Narrow tumblers have tighter spacing that produces a closer cut, which works best for smaller or more delicate flowers. Standard tumblers accommodate larger buds and provide a slightly less aggressive trim. Most operators keep both on hand and swap based on the batch they are processing.
What is the Twister Cure Puck used for?
The Cure Puck is a humidity-regulation device designed to maintain consistent moisture levels during the curing process. It fits inside standard curing containers and helps prevent over-drying or mold by keeping relative humidity in the ideal 58-62% range throughout the cure cycle.
Can I double my trimming throughput with a Twister tandem setup?
Tandem configurations run two trimmers in parallel off a shared infeed, effectively doubling throughput without adding separate operator stations. Both the T2 and T4 are available in tandem packages that include a leaf collector or Trim Saver system for byproduct collection.
Does Twister make equipment beyond trimmers?
Yes. Twister produces the B4 Bucker for destemming, the S1 Sorter and Autofeeder for automated material handling, feed and QC conveyors for inline processing, the UltraClean automated cleaning system, and the Cure Puck for post-harvest curing. These integrate with the trimmer line to build a complete harvest workflow.
