There is a tumbler that freezes the leaves with CO2 and breaks them off. It works quickly and efficiently.

I don’t know where the video is but if you like trim porn it’s it

Gravity separation can be done as simply as shaking a plastic box if you know how to do it. Buds roll out and the shake stays behind.

might be able to dial in a seed separator to only take the lightest materials(fans, trims, etc)

Thanks for the help.
At the moment we shake different sieves with different size of holes.We take out the smallest leaves and powder to work on some blend, and we have after that the minibuds and many small dried leaves. The point is that we would like to separate the minibuds from the dried leaves.

Do you have any tips for this?

@anon16547145 listed the bud sorter. You can get a similar machine from a company called Kason. You tell them what you want to do and they will send you the right size screens.

Each screens works by average size that you want to “stay on the screen”. You can have as many layers as you want. You could have 1inch, 1/2inch, 3/8 inch, 1/4 inch and so on. The screens can go down to microns, if you really want to get that fine.

If your mini-buds and dried leaves are the same relative size, but some are long and some are round - you can get a screen that is slotted instead of round holes, or a screen that is square instead of round or slotted.

You need the size or shape to be different for screening/sieving to work at all.

You can also separate things by weight, but its much more complicated. It takes a lot longer and I’m not really sure that what you have won’t work based on size.

There are bigger weight sorters out there - but I don’t know that they can handle things that are so small. Seed sorter is probably your best option if you cannot get it go by size/shape.
