Pollinator P500 Tumbler – Automatic 500g Dry Sifting Machine for Botanical Processing

The Pollinator P500 Tumbler is a powerful and reliable automatic dry-sifting machine designed for the efficient separation of fine botanical particles from dried plant material. With an impressive 500g processing capacity per batch, the P500 provides a practical solution for larger-scale botanical screening, pollen separation and dry material processing.

Developed from the original Dutch Pollinator design, first launched in 1994, the Pollinator P500 combines automatic electric operation with a rotating mesh screening drum to provide a convenient alternative to traditional manual dry sifting.

Supplied with a 150-micron screening drum as standard, the P500 separates fine particles from larger dried botanical material using a mechanical, fluid-free screening process.

For greater flexibility, the machine is also compatible with additional Pollinator Extra Drums, available separately in a selection of micron sizes to suit different screening requirements.

With its generous batch capacity, food-grade construction and straightforward operation, the Pollinator P500 is an excellent choice for users who require a larger automatic botanical screening machine.

Automatic Dry Sifting for Botanical Materials

The Pollinator P500 Automatic Dry Sifting Machine uses an electrically powered rotating cylindrical mesh drum to separate fine particles from larger dried botanical material.

As the drum rotates, suitable dried plant material moves within the screening barrel. Fine particles that are small enough to pass through the mesh are separated from the larger material retained inside.

This mechanical process provides an efficient alternative to manually shaking or working dried material through a stationary sieve.

The automatic rotating action makes the P500 particularly useful for users who regularly process larger quantities of suitable botanical materials and require a more convenient screening workflow.

500g Batch Capacity – Designed for Larger Processing Requirements

With a recommended capacity of approximately 500g of dried botanical material per batch, the Pollinator P500 offers significantly greater processing volume than the smaller P150 model.

This makes it particularly suitable for users who need to process larger quantities of material without dividing it into as many individual batches.

The P500 provides a practical balance between processing capacity, equipment size and ease of operation.

Please Note: Actual working capacity may vary depending on the density, moisture content and physical characteristics of the material being processed. Always follow the manufacturer's loading recommendations.

Supplied with a 150-Micron Screening Drum

The Pollinator P500 is supplied with a standard 150-micron (150µm) mesh screening drum.

The micron rating describes the approximate opening size of the screening mesh. A 150-micron screen allows particles smaller than the mesh openings to pass through while retaining larger pieces of material inside the barrel.

This provides a versatile starting point for a range of compatible dry botanical screening applications.

Additional screening drums are available separately for users who require alternative particle separation sizes.

Compatible Pollinator Extra Drums – Available Separately

One of the key benefits of the Pollinator P500 Tumbler is its compatibility with interchangeable screening drums, allowing users to adapt their equipment for different botanical materials and particle separation requirements.

Our Pollinator Extra Drum Range includes compatible replacement and additional mesh barrels for the P500 model.

Changing the drum allows you to select different mesh sizes without purchasing another complete tumbler.

Available Micron Sizes

• 70 Micron: Fine screening for smaller particles.
• 90 Micron: Fine mesh for controlled particle separation.
• 120 Micron: Intermediate fine screening.
• 150 Micron: Standard mesh size supplied with the P500.
• 185 Micron: Coarser screening for larger particles.
• 220 Micron: Coarse mesh for larger particle separation.

Finer mesh sizes have smaller openings, while coarser screens allow larger particles to pass through.

Important: When ordering an additional drum, select the P500 model and your preferred micron rating to ensure compatibility with your machine.

Fluid-Free Botanical Processing

The Pollinator P500 Dry Sifter uses a mechanical separation process that does not require water, solvents or other processing liquids.

This makes it a practical option for suitable dry botanical screening applications where a fluid-free separation method is preferred.

The rotating mesh drum provides a convenient way to screen dried material while maintaining a straightforward processing setup.

Designed for Temperature-Controlled Processing

The Pollinator P500 can be used in suitable temperature-controlled environments where cooler conditions are beneficial for the material being processed.

According to the supplier, the compact construction allows the machine to fit inside certain top-loading freezers, provided sufficient internal space is available.

Low-temperature screening may help maintain the physical characteristics of some dried botanical materials during processing.

Important: Always confirm that the operating environment is suitable for electrical equipment. Avoid condensation, check available space and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions.

Easy Operation & Maintenance

The Pollinator P500 is designed to provide a straightforward screening process, making it suitable for both occasional and regular botanical processing applications.

The removable screening drum allows users to access the barrel for loading, unloading and cleaning.

Regular cleaning helps maintain the condition of the screening mesh and reduces unwanted material build-up between processing sessions.

When using different micron drums, ensure each barrel is clean and correctly installed before starting the machine.
