  • Publication number: 20240116058
    Abstract: Disclosed is a continuous feed commercial cannabis bud grinder and stemmer that enables operations to control the grinds size, remove stems from the buds, and avoid damage to the bud's trichomes. In a preferred embodiment, raw material (buds) are top loaded into a grinding assembly defined by a motor driven blade that tumbles or sweeps the raw material such that the buds are destemmed and bud grinds are forced through a perforated insert. Suitably, grinds fall from the perforated insert into a secondary filtering process where the grinds can be filtered by size before output to a user.

  • Patent number: 10512219
    Abstract: Disclosed is a plant stripper for separating buds or fruit from the stems or branches of a plant. In one embodiment, the plant stripper is defined by a housing that contains a face plate, bladed rollers, and motor and gear system for counter turning the rollers. In operation, a plant stem bearing buds or fruit may be provided through a plant hole in the face plate and gripped by the counter turning rollers so that continued counter turning of the rollers pulls the stems or plants through the plant hole of the face plate. Suitably, the plant hole is gauged so that only the stem may pass through the hole but not the buds or fruit whereby the buds or fruit of the plant are stripped from the plant via action of the stem through the plant hole. In one embodiment, the plant stripper features a guide tray for catching stripped buds or fruit and guiding the same to a collection bin.
