UltraTrimmer
The biggest knock on industrial trimmers has always been that they destroy the gland heads containing the essential oils we’re after. The units from UltraTrimmer simulate scissors and avoid manhandling precious flowers while preserving the trichomes. The company’s even been giving live demonstrations with microscopes at our Cannabis Cups for over five years to show how gently the machines work. It’s no secret why UltraTrimmers are the first products to be federally patented specifically for trimming cannabis. UltraTrimmer won Best Trimming Machine in the Official High Times Magazine STASH Awards of 2018. Visit ultratrimmer.com for more information.
