Bucking Rollers, Debudding Rollers - New or Strip and Recoat

You've harvested your hemp, marijuana, or hops and now you need to strip the plant. Whether it's buds for producing CBD oil, primo buds for the smoker, or hops buds for craft brewing odds are you will be using a bucking or debudding machine to increase the efficiency of the debudding process. The stems of either freshly harvested or dried material are fed into the machine. The holes in the plate are sized to only allow the stems to pass through. Rubber coated rollers pull the stems through the plate and the leaves and buds are cleanly stripped off and fall into a collection bin.

We have been contacted by several growers and design engineers to work with them on rubber coating the rollers for these bucking or debudding apparatus. Whether you require FDA approved materials, materials to withstand the outdoor elements or materials geared for abrasive environments or a combination of those attributes we can work with you to get the best rubber type and hardness required for your application. We also have worked with designers on grooved rollers, rollers of different lengths and using various materials.

Whether you are designing, or own machine or your current rubber rollers have worn out or are not lasting as long as you would like, we can help.

Send us your roller design, highlighting the core material, dimensions, bearing surfaces, keyways and the area for rubber surfacing and the finished OD. We can quote making new cores for you or coating your provided cores.

NEW OPTION

After working with several dozen folks who contacted us hoping to find off-the-shelf rollers we have developed an easy way to design your own bucking rollers using standard sized cores available to us. You pick your roller diameter and length, rubber thickness and determine if you want us to provide the drive shafts and together we can get a roller designed and processed in as little as 10 to 15 working days and get you debudding! See our DESIGN A BUCKING ROLLER page.

Many times, the OEM requires you to purchase new rollers once yours are worn or possibly the material they used is not suitable to your needs either in hardness or type or longevity. The core is still good so why buy a new one? Our ''Strip and Recoat'' services save you the cost of replacing a properly functioning metal core and all you are paying for is the resurfacing of the rubber. Our quick turnaround can minimize downtime.
