Operator-Controlled Feeding: The GCM is an operator-run machine that requires gentle pressure to feed the stems, allowing for precision and care with every stem.
-
Built-in Cleaning System: The GCM includes an efficient cleaning system that removes debris and collects it into a vacuum bag for easy cleanup.
-
Durable Design: Made with 304 stainless steel and aluminum, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance. Backed by a 5-year warranty.

Preparation & Tips for Dry Bucking:
-
Environment: Make sure the processing area has ample space, is cool, and is well-prepared with proper bins for efficient product transport.
-
Plant Preparation: Ensure clean, angled cuts for easy feeding and separation of stems.
-
Moisture Content: Ideal moisture content for dry bucking should be between 12% and 14% for optimal results.
-
Bud Consistency: Buds should feel "springy," ensuring the stems are pliable for smooth processing.
-
Machine Speed: For the best results when bucking dry material, slow the machine speed to about 1/2 or 1/3 of its regular speed to prevent damage to the flowers.
