Our customers routinely tell us “Softrim is better than hand trim” – so much so, we made it part of our brand!

Since large companies cannot scale with trim labor only, they relied on blade tumbler machines to process volume. No more.

Softrim’s patent pending, blade-free automatic bud trimmer technology employs thousands of highly-engineered, food-grade silicone “fingers” to massage each individual flower to remove leaf waste with minimal to no impact to the structure of the bud – as much as one pound of bud is processed every 20 seconds. In this way, Softrim brings back the value of the hand trim process and strengthens the customer’s financial position.

How It Works

When hanging plants are dry and ready for bucking, they’re ready for Softrim. The bucked flower is loaded directly into the Softrim bud trimmer machine, ideally located in the dry room. Softrim then uses internal, rotating, soft silicone fingers to break the dried brittle sugar leaves off the dense flower.

Since the silicone fingers are flexible and do not attach to the sticky trichomes, the structure of the flower stays intact. Speed is also a factor in preserving trichome structures, and Softrim 1lb/20 sec process rate acts to further minimize damage.
The result: an end product that provides the highest levels of trichomes and cannabinoids per bud, leading to superior aromas and a preserved terpenes experience.

Softrim Leapfrogs All Other Bud Trimmer Options

Traditionally, there have been two bud trimming methods for preparing cannabis for the consumer market.

Hand-trim had long been the baseline approach, providing high flower yield, high THC levels, and good flower formations – all critical to sustainable success in micro-markets. But growth is limited – about 400 lbs a month production by hand is typically the threshold. Further, it requires intense labor (and the time and cost of attracting, training, and maintaining that labor), and is fraught with long-turn times on accounts receivable.

The introduction of various rotatory, flower-shaving equipment – both non-exhaust based and exhaust based – can significantly increase volumes of product, but the trimming blades indiscriminately trim highly valuable flower trichomes and cannabinoids along with the flower leaves, acting to lower consumer satisfaction, profitability, and growth.

Softrim leapfrogs these methods with cannabis trimming machine technology that surpasses the quality of hand trimming and the speed of rotary shavers.

The system is easy to learn and operate, requires minimal labor, and is extremely robust to ensure reliable operation. Further, the technology is quiet and operates on a standard 120V power supply. One Softrim machine replaces several rotary cutters, and the energy and floor space required by them.

Most importantly, Softrim’s bud trimmer reliability is proven: over 100,000 lbs of flower buds have been successfully trimmed to date, spanning over 100 strains of flowers.
