VZ-TEC Easy Bucker VZ500 Dry Harvest Machine

The scaled down version of the VZ1000, The VZ500 is capable of processing over 500 lb/hour of industrial hemp, creating processor-ready material quickly with out destroying your product. The powder-coated steel constructed base carries 2 single-horsepower Baldor motors on a variable speed optidrive. With adjustable height up to 62 inches and a locking tilt up to 90 degrees, the Easy Bucker can adapt to different-sized operations with ease.

The Easy Bucker comes with 4 removable food-grade brushes, approved by the FDA. The patented brush technology is unlike any other brush or stripping technology on the market. Knowing that many other brush designs can clog up overtime or ware out quickly, VZ-TEC has developed a true and tested design for bud removal. The fingers create a slapping motion instead of grinding the plant down and gumming up the brush so you can process more over longer period of time.

Adjusted through the Variable frequency drive, the brushes are capable of producing a product at the perfect consistency for various extraction methods. Though the Easy Bucker can process industrial hemp at a moisture content of 16%, for best results hemp should be near 12% for processing.

Pivoting System - Designed for 1-2 operator use, the smooth pivoting systems allows the entire machine to pivot up to 90 degrees in 4 positions. The Easy Bucker's versatility and adaptability is unmatched in the industry.

Variable Speed - The Easy Bucker is equipped with an OptiDrive VFD that allows the operator to control the shafts' rotation speed. Ranging from 300-1800 RPM, the variable speeds give the user control over the speed of production, as well as the quality as moisture content is increased.

Quick-Change Shaft & Brush System - Specially designed for hemp processing, the patented brushes are designed for quick-change replacements, ensuring minimal downtime in production. The durable, polyurethane-fingered brushes are approved by the FDA as Food Grade
