Abstract: A device for compressing plant material to extract fluids/oils/rosin. The device is composed of a press and stand. The press is rotatively coupled to the stand such that a press bed of the press may move between a horizontal orientation and a vertical orientation. When disposed in the vertical orientation, fluids pressed out of the plant material may drip out of the device to a collection location.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an apparatus for trimming plants, in particular, buds and flowers, to remove unwanted plant material. A typical application would be to process a plant to leave only trimmed buds and flowers for use in potpourri, fragrant sashes, or as a prelude to further processing of essential oils. The invention enables faster and safer production of plant material than prior plant processing machines. The apparatus employs an original combination of a slotted metal drum and a lawn mower type cutting reel that are rotated in the same direction, but at different speeds, to create a cutting interface that shears the unwanted plant material off and then collect this debris though a novel vacuum manifold into a waste collection device. The cutting interface between the slotted drum and the cutting reel is adjustable to keep the distance between the two between 0.002 and 0.006 inches for a very sharp and clean cut.
