Softrim, the robotics-based cannabis de-leafing system, will be introduced at the MJBizConference 2024 in Las Vegas.
Platform Robotics, headquartered in Rochester Hills, Michigan, will formally introduce its patent-pending Softrim 2000 and Softrim 1000 cannabis cultivation systems during the event. The 2000 system caters to the outdoor segment; the 1000 system is targeted for the indoor segment. Both systems are capable of processing 1000 pounds of product per shift.
John Baldiga, co-founder of Platform Robotics said: "Cannabis producers seeking high-volume, high-quality production cannot scale with hand-trim labor only, so they have relied on blade tumbler machines to attempt to achieve their goals. However, these machines shave off up to 35% of the flower bud, sending highly profitable flower into the trim containers."
He continued by saying: "However, these machines shave off up to 35% of the flower bud, sending highly profitable flower into the trim containers. The result is the similar quality and yield, or better, than hand-trim, at a rate of one pound of buds every 20 seconds."
Softrim's blade-free operation allows natural flower formations to remain intact during the processing of the raw flower, maintaining desirable levels of THC and retaining the flower's appealing aroma, both critical to end-user satisfaction and thus grower sales.
The speed and direction of the fingers are programmable, and the combination for each strain can be saved when switching between flower strain types.
MJBizCon attendees can view the Softrim 1000 and 2000 systems December 3-6 at Booth #3825. Members of the company's sales and technical support teams will be on sight to showcase the system and answer inquiries.
