CenturionPro HP3 High Performance Bucking Machine with Stand
Trimmer Type Destemer/Bucker - Production Capability 500+ lbs/hr - Operation Motorized - Feed Type Single Branch - Process Material (Wet or Dry)Wet / Dry Max. Stem Diameter 3/4"
HP refers to “High Performance” and represents our workhorse line of buckers, which include single and triple-workstation options. The high production value of these machines results in the industry’s highest buck rate per hour. The HP line utilizes two rollers that pull the stem into the machine, therefore popping the flowers off. This allows you to continuously feed the bucker for more efficient de-stemming. The HP1 comes with a bucker stand and table-top set-up legs included for added value and versatility.
With 5 hole sizes, the HP1 accepts wet or dry stems up to 3/4” and can buck 175+ pounds (35+ lbs/hr dry) per hour, replacing 5-7 human workers. When combined with the high productivity of the CenturionPro trimming machines, you’ll get the highest capacity harvesting system in the world! The HP1 comes complete with a 0.75 HP gear driven motor with variable speeds to provide unsurpassed power and adjustability. Thanks to the variable speed controls, both wet and dry products can be processed with ease! The system is easy to set up and is made of stainless steel and anodized aluminum making it robust as well as easy to clean.
Key Features:
The HP1 plugs into a 110 volt, 15 amp circuit – EU/AUS Compatible. Backed by a 5 years warranty. The HP1 bucker is simple, powerful, and effective and will process product at an unprecedented rate.
The bucker stand comes standard with industrial casters. Choose to purchase an Off-Road Wheel Assembly Kit upgrade.
Preparation for using the HP Buckers & Tip for Dry Bucking
Environment Preparation
Ensure adequate space
Review electrical requirements
Have adequate bins for product transport
Cooler temperatures in processing room is beneficial
Plant Preparation
Cut main stalk
Seperate each individual stem (no 'y' junctions)
Leave 3" of stem for clearance into machine
Ensure clean angled cuts for precise feeding
Feeding
Keep prepped product stem side up for efficiency
Size the stem to fi t the ideal hole
Feed end first into machine
Use variable speed control to adjust flow
Moisture Content
Moisture content is critical for ensuring minimal damage to the flower
Flower that is too dry will fall apart
Flower that has too much moisture will compact and dent
For best results with dry bucking, moisture content should be between 12% and 14% when using a machine
Bud Consistency
Buds should be "springy"- when the flower is squeezed between two fingers it will rebound and return to its original shape
Both big and smaller stems must be pliable when bucking with a machine such as a GC or HP System
Pliable stems ensures that they fold and are stripped upon entering the bucking machine. If too brittle, they will simply break off and will not be properly stripped
Machine Speed
Slowing the machine speed for dry bucking will lead to a better result
Dry bucking at 1/2 or 1/3 of the regular speed will ensure better results
The variable speed control off ered by our HP Bucker is a great feature when bucking dry material
