How to Use the Pollinator® Dry Sift Machine

Temperature plays a critical role in successful dry sift extraction.

Preparation

• Ensure plant material is fully dried.
• Freeze material for several hours before processing.
• Operate in a cold, low-humidity environment for best results.

Operating Steps

1. Fill the drum loosely (avoid overpacking).
2. Insert into the machine securely.
3. Run for 2–5 minutes depending on desired quality.
4. Switch off and collect separated material
5. Repeat until material is fully processed.

Pro Tip: Running your dry sift machine inside a fridge or cold room improves separation quality.

Standard vs Bottomless Dry Sift Machine

Standard Version

• Fully enclosed base
• Material collects inside the unit
• Best for home or hobby use

Bottomless Version

• No fixed collection tray
• Designed to sit over a collection surface
• Faster scraping and easier handling for larger batches
• Preferred for more frequent dry sift processing

The main difference is collection method: the Standard dry sift machine contains material internally, while the Bottomless model allows direct surface collection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Sift Machines

How does a dry sift machine work?

The machine rotates plant material inside a screened drum. As the material tumbles, brittle trichomes break off and fall through the mesh onto a collection surface.

What is the best temperature for dry sift extraction?

Cold temperatures improve separation quality. Freezing material before processing helps preserve reduces plant contamination.

How long should I run a dry sift machine?

Shorter runs (2–3 minutes) typically produce higher-quality, lighter sift. Longer runs increase yield but may introduce more plant matter.

Is dry sift extraction solventless?

Yes. Dry sift extraction is a fully solventless method that uses mechanical agitation rather than chemicals.

Which is better: Standard or Bottomless dry sift machine?

The Standard version is more compact and self-contained. The Bottomless version allows faster collection and is better suited for higher-frequency processing.
