CenturionPro®

HP1 High Performance Bucking Machine with Stand

The HP1 comes with a bucker stand and table-top set-up legs included for added value and versatility.

With 5-hole sizes, the HP1 accepts wet or dry stems up to 3/4” and can process up to 175 lbs wet (up to 35 lbs dry) per hour, replacing 5-7 human workers.

When combined with the high productivity of the CenturionPro trimming machines, you’ll get the highest capacity harvesting system in the world!

HP refers to "High Performance" and represents our workhorse line of buckers, which include single and triple-workstation options.

The high production value of these machines results in the industry’s highest buck rate per hour.

The HP line utilizes two rollers that pull the stem into the machine, therefore popping the flowers off.

This allows you to continuously feed the bucker for more efficient de-stemming.

Preparation for using the HP Buckers & Tip for Dry Bucking

Environment Preparation

• Ensure adequate space
• Review electrical requirements
• Have adequate bins for product transport
• Cooler temperatures in processing room is beneficial

Plant Preparation

• Cut main stalk
• Separate each individual stem (no 'y' junctions)
• Leave 3" of stem for clearance into machine
• Ensure clean angled cuts for precise feeding

Feeding

• Keep prepped product stem side up for efficiency
• Size the stem to fit the ideal hole
• Feed end first into machine
• Use variable speed control to adjust flow

Moisture Content

• Moisture content is critical for ensuring minimal damage to the flower
• Flower that is too dry will fall apart
• Flower that has too much moisture will compact and dent
• For best results with dry bucking, moisture content should be between 12% and 14% when using a machine

Bud Consistency

• Buds should be "springy"- when the flower is squeezed between two fingers it will rebound and return to its original shape
• Both big and smaller stems must be pliable when bucking with a machine such as a GC or HP System
• Pliable stems ensures that they fold and are stripped upon entering the bucking machine. If too brittle, they will simply break off and will not be properly stripped

Machine Speed

• Slowing the machine speed for dry bucking will lead to a better result
• Dry bucking at 1/2 or 1/3 of the regular speed will ensure better results
• The variable speed control offered by our HP Bucker is a great feature when bucking dry material
