What Triminator does

Triminator is a commercial-scale manufacturer of cannabis and hemp post-harvest processing equipment, operating as a brand under parent company Eteros Technologies Inc. The company was founded in Northern California with R&D beginning in 2008 and launched its first commercial trimming machine in 2015. In 2023, Eteros Technologies (which also owns Mobius Trimmer) acquired Triminator to form what the company describes as the world's largest manufacturer of cannabis and hemp processing solutions; Triminator products are now transitioning to Mobius-branded versions while legacy support continues.

The product portfolio spans five core machine categories: bucking (BuckMaster at 150 LBS/HR), dry trimming (Mini Dry, Dry, XL Dry using Pure Trim shear band technology at up to 60 LBS/HR), wet/dry continuous trimming (Hybrid with Flex-Knife and patent-pending Tandem-Link throughput-doubling system), solventless extraction (Maker hash washing machine and TRP/TRP Stack rosin press with Easy Pivot drip tech), plus a supporting ecosystem of accessories (Kief Tumbler Kit, Hybrid Infeed/Outfeed Conveyors, Boldtbags co-branded bubble hash bags) and a replacement parts business. Technology differentiators include lubricant-free trimming, GMP-ready 304 stainless steel construction, IP65/IP67 washdown ratings, closed-loop (no-fan) trim capture, and pressure-washable, tool-free disassembly. Pricing spans roughly $400-$18,925 per unit, with most core machines in the $9,000-$15,000 range.

Triminator monetizes through one-time hardware sales distributed via a US dealer network (Grow Generation, HydroBuilder, HTG Supply, and others), direct sales, and international shipping to select regions. Customers span commercial cannabis cultivators and processors from boutique growers to large MSOs (Curaleaf, Aurora, Raw Garden, Indiva, Christina Lake Cannabis Corp) and hemp operators across the US, Canada, and Australia. Revenue is hardware-driven with a recurring replacement parts and consumables tail, and the company's marketing emphasizes GMP compliance, labor-cost reduction (claimed 900%+ versus hand trimming), and preservation of trichome/terpene quality.

Core offering

Triminator designs, manufactures, and sells commercial cannabis and hemp post-harvest processing equipment, including bucking machines, dry and wet/dry trimmers, bubble hash washing machines, and rosin presses, primarily serving licensed cultivators and processors. The equipment is built with GMP-ready stainless steel construction and proprietary technologies designed to automate labor-intensive trimming, bucking, and solventless extraction workflows.

Product overview

Triminator offers a comprehensive portfolio of commercial cannabis and hemp post-harvest processing equipment. The product line centers on bucking machines (BuckMaster), dry trimmers (Mini Dry, Dry, XL Dry), wet/dry trimmers (Hybrid™), and extends into solventless extraction with the Maker™ hash washing machine and TRP/TRP Stack rosin presses. These core machines are supported by accessory products including the Kief Tumbler Kit, Boldtbags extraction bags, and Hybrid™ conveyors. The portfolio follows a modular approach where accessories like kief kits and conveyors add functionality to core trimming machines, while extraction equipment enables processors to capture additional value from trim and flower through bubble hash and rosin production.
