Equipped with the industry's most powerful motor, the Twister B4 is capable of delivering consistent, safe results, without the need for downtime. Ships October 4th!
The Twister B4 ‘Bucker’ is the newest and latest addition from Twister that helps producers further automate their current operation. Simple and easy to use, one operator can use the Twister B4 ‘Bucker’ and do the work of 7-10, reducing down labor costs by a factor 7-10X, and speeding up the harvest in the process.
Constructed of only the highest quality materials and finishes, the B4 is designed to deliver continuous, reliable performance under the most demanding conditions. Able to meet strict medical quality assurance programs in the US and Canada.
The Twister B4 ‘Bucker’ is a flexible design that can be installed / operated on a stainless bench, table, or the accessory stand (coming Oct 22). It can even be run off a tailgate! Made to work with any size grow or operation that relies on high quality products that get the job done day-in day-out, without risk of downtime or machine failure.
The Twister B4 ‘Bucker’ is designed to keep your bucking process going because we know how important uptime, labor costs and OPEX are to your business. The Twister B4 brings two new important changes to the industry that will help keep your operation running with maximum uptime:
- Introducing “Swappable Cartridges” - The Twister B4 allows operators the ability to remove and replace “bucking” cartridges on-the-fly, effectively reducing your downtime to near zero. When it’s time to switch strains or time for cleaning, swap in a clean QA-approved cartridge and you’re back up and running. No need to have multiple machines in waiting while others get cleaned. #gamechanger
- Introducing “Active Gearing” - A patent-pending innovative drive system allows the Twister B4 to dynamically adjust to the variability in stems sizes which ultimately helps prevent downtime due to jams, clogs and other issues that result from feeding stems under other fixed roller designs.
