AC Infinity Bowl Trimmer AC-BTA19 – Manual Trimmer, 48.3 cm

The AC Infinity AC-BTA19 Bowl Trimmer is a large manual processing machine designed for the fast and consistent trimming of flowers, buds, herbs and other suitable plant material. Its 19-inch, approximately 48.3 cm stainless steel bowl provides a generous working surface for processing larger quantities.

The machine operates without electricity. A removable hand crank rotates the food-grade silicone sweeper curtains positioned beneath the cover. These curtains continuously move plant material across the cutting surface while the blade underneath removes protruding leaves and other unwanted plant parts.

The large transparent dome allows users to observe the process in real time. Trimming can be stopped as soon as the desired result is achieved, helping reduce the risk of excessive processing. Manual operation also gives the user direct control over the rotation speed.

Hand-Powered 360° Sweeper System

The central operating component of the AC-BTA19 is its 360° rotating sweeper system connected to the hand crank. Turning the crank moves flexible silicone curtains across the perforated cutting grate. Leaves extending through the grate are trimmed by the rotating blade underneath.

Manual operation allows the speed to be adjusted according to the user’s preferred working pace and the condition of the material. Slower, controlled rotation can provide gentler processing, while additional consistent turns gradually produce a more thoroughly groomed finish.

• Fully manual operation
• No electrical connection or battery required
• 360° rotating silicone sweeper curtains
• Directly controllable operating speed
• Processes larger quantities of plant material
• Removable hand crank for more compact storage

The machine does not need to be operated with excessive force. Smooth and steady rotations generally provide more controllable results. During processing, stop regularly to inspect the plant material and only continue turning when additional trimming is necessary.

Two Interchangeable Blades for Wet and Dry Trimming

The package includes two different stainless steel blades. The quadruple-edged straight blade is primarily designed for processing fresh, moist plant material, while the serrated blade is intended for trimming previously dried flowers and herbs.

These two blade types allow the same machine to be used at different stages of harvesting and post-processing. The appropriate blade depends on the moisture level, structure and size of the material, as well as the desired final appearance.

Quadruple-Edged Straight Blade

Fresh plant material is generally more flexible, contains more moisture and retains its shape more effectively. The straight cutting edges are designed for these conditions and help remove plant material extending through the cutting grate.

Serrated Blade

Drier plant material may be lighter, firmer and more brittle. The serrated blade offers an alternative cutting action that is better suited to dried material. The blade must always be checked for secure attachment before use.

The blades are extremely sharp, so additional care is required during replacement, cleaning and storage. Handle them only by their unsharpened sections and wear suitable cut-resistant protective gloves.

Transparent Dome for Continuous Process Monitoring

The clear upper dome provides an unobstructed view of the entire working area. Users can observe how flowers and herbs move between the silicone sweepers and monitor how much plant material has already been removed without lifting the cover.

This visual control is important because different plant varieties, moisture levels and piece sizes may require different numbers of rotations. Instead of relying entirely on a predetermined processing time, users can decide whether to continue or stop according to the material’s actual condition.

• Transparent dome for monitoring the working process
• Easier control over the degree of trimming
• Can help reduce the risk of excessive processing
• The cover keeps plant material contained inside the bowl
• Clearly visible mechanical operation

Large Working Surface

The 19-inch bowl provides a substantial processing surface. Overloading should nevertheless be avoided because the material requires enough space to move freely between the sweeper curtains. Several appropriately sized batches can generally provide more consistent processing than one excessively large load.

Stainless Steel Bowl with Non-Stick Interior

The large lower bowl is made from stainless steel and features a non-stick internal surface. Trimmed plant material collects directly inside the bowl, creating a tidier working area and simplifying further processing.

Depending on the plant variety and applicable local regulations, the collected trim may be retained for potpourri, aromatherapy applications or essential-oil production. The bowl helps reduce scattered plant waste and makes it easier to keep the separated material organized.

Stable Placement

The included rubber padding helps hold the bowl securely in position during operation. Its non-slip surface increases stability, although the machine should always be placed on a solid, level and clean work surface.

The bowl’s stable shape supports safe handling of this large device. Its total weight of approximately 7.2 kg provides a solid base, but the machine should be moved with a secure two-handed grip.

Efficient Processing of Larger Quantities

Precise trimming with hand scissors offers a high level of control but may require considerable time and repetitive manual work when processing larger quantities. The AC Infinity AC-BTA19 uses a mechanical process to speed up the repeated removal of protruding leaves.

The system can be particularly useful when flowers, buds or herbs from several plants must be prepared consistently. The machine does not necessarily eliminate every need for manual finishing, as some pieces may still require small corrections to achieve the preferred appearance.

Several factors influence the result:

• Moisture content of the plant material
• Size and density of the inserted pieces
• Selected blade type
• Rotation speed of the hand crank
• Amount processed in each batch
• Number of completed rotations
• Desired level of trimming

Wet Trimming

During wet trimming, plant material is processed while fresh and before drying. Leaves are generally more flexible and easier to distinguish in this condition. The quadruple-edged straight blade is intended for this workflow.

Larger leaves, thick stems and unwanted plant parts should be removed manually beforehand. The Bowl Trimmer is primarily intended for quickly cutting smaller protruding leaves. Spread the plant material evenly across the grate in a single layer.

Dry Trimming

During dry trimming, plant material is processed after the drying stage. Dried leaves may separate more easily, while the flowers themselves can be more brittle. Begin with slower rotations and inspect the result more frequently.

The serrated blade is designed for this processing method. Avoiding an overloaded bowl is especially important with dry material because insufficient freedom of movement may produce uneven results.

Operating Instructions

1. Place the rubber padding on a stable and level work surface.
2. Position the stainless steel bowl on top of it.
3. Install the correct blade for wet or dry material.
4. Check that the blade and all connections are securely attached.
5. Remove large leaves, thick stems and other unwanted plant parts.
6. Spread the material evenly across the cutting grate without overcrowding it.
7. Install the transparent dome and attach the hand crank.
8. Rotate the crank using slow and steady movements.
9. Stop after several turns and inspect the result through the dome.
10. Remove the finished material when the desired level of trimming has been achieved.

The manufacturer suggests 15–20 rotations as a general starting point, but the required number depends on the characteristics of the plant material. The process should always be completed with regular visual checks.

Simple Cleaning and Maintenance

The smooth surfaces of the stainless steel bowl and blades simplify cleaning after use. The manufacturer recommends wiping them with a damp cloth. Plant residue should preferably be removed before it dries completely onto the surfaces.

The food-grade silicone sweeper curtains require little maintenance, but they should still be inspected and cleaned regularly. Every component must be completely dry before reassembly.

• Empty the collected trim after every use.
• Wipe the bowl and accessible surfaces with a damp cloth.
• Wear cut-resistant protective gloves when cleaning the blades.
• Inspect the condition of the silicone sweeper curtains.
• Allow the machine to dry completely before storage.
• Store the blades securely and out of reach of children.

Do not use aggressive chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the non-stick bowl surface, silicone components or transparent dome.

Safety Information

• The blades are extremely sharp; remove the hand crank before installing or replacing them.
• Never reach inside the machine while it is operating.
• Only remove the dome after the blade and sweeper system have stopped completely.
• Always operate the machine on a stable, non-slip surface.
• Do not use the device with a damaged blade, dome or attachment component.
• Keep the Bowl Trimmer away from children and pets.
• Only use the device with plant material that may be legally grown and processed.
