The CenturionPro Mini sits between the Tabletop Pro and the Original in the CenturionPro lineup. It handles around 7 lb/hr dry and 35 lb/hr wet, which makes it a meaningful throughput step up from the Tabletop Pro for Canadian home growers who consistently harvest 5 to 15 lb per cycle, or for small commercial producers who need faster turnaround without moving to a large commercial machine.
Where the Mini Fits in the Lineup
CenturionPro's hybrid wet/dry line runs Tabletop Pro, Mini, Original, Silver Bullet, Gladiator, and 3.0+ Commercial. The Mini is the second tier. It is not a scaled-down commercial machine, it is a scaled-up home machine: larger tumbler, more throughput, same household electrical compatibility. For growers who found the Tabletop Pro's throughput rate limiting their trim sessions, the Mini removes that constraint without requiring a step up to the Original's larger footprint.
Specs
| Spec | CenturionPro Mini |
|---|---|
| Throughput (wet) | ~35 lb/hr |
| Throughput (dry) | ~7 lb/hr |
| Power | 120V, standard outlet |
| Operation | Wet or dry (tumbler swap) |
The 120V power compatibility is important: like the Tabletop Pro, the Mini runs on standard household service. That distinction separates both machines from larger commercial trimmers that require 240V, and it matters for Canadian growers operating in residential grows, farm buildings, or any facility where commercial electrical service at the trim station is not already in place.
Wet and Dry Workflows
The Mini handles both freshly harvested (wet) and hang-dried (dry) flower using the same tumbler-based mechanism. For wet trimming, the machine processes fresh flower immediately post-harvest before hang-drying, which suits operations that trim wet for faster cure setup. For dry trimming, you swap to a finer-mesh tumbler and reduce tumble speed, which suits operations that hang-dry first and trim closer to packaging.
At 35 lb/hr wet throughput, the Mini can process the full harvest from a mid-size home grow in a single session rather than multiple sessions that the Tabletop Pro sometimes requires at larger harvest volumes.
Mini SS Variant
The Mini is also available in a stainless steel (SS) variant with an electropolish tumbler surface for regulated environments. For most home and small commercial growers, the standard Mini is adequate. The SS variant is specified in some licensed-producer and medical-grade processing environments where contact surface requirements are mandated.
Mini vs Tabletop Pro: When to Choose the Mini
The Tabletop Pro processes ~20 lb/hr wet and ~4 lb/hr dry. The Mini is roughly 75% faster on wet and about the same step-up on dry. The Mini makes sense when:
- Wet harvests consistently run 8 lb or more per cycle and the Tabletop Pro sessions are running long
- You are trimming multiple cultivars back to back and the session time compounds across batches
- You plan to scale production and want to buy once at a throughput tier that has headroom
The Tabletop Pro makes sense when harvests are 1 to 5 lb wet per cycle and trim quality rather than speed is the primary concern. At low volumes, both machines produce equivalent quality, and the Tabletop's lower price point reflects that.
Mini vs DBT Model 0: Dry-Only vs Hybrid
If you exclusively dry-trim, the DBT Model 0 is purpose-built for that workflow and optimized for dried flower with minimal trichome loss. It does not handle wet flower. The Mini is the better choice if you want a single machine that covers both workflows, or if you are not yet committed to a pure dry-trim process.
The DBT 0 typically produces a slightly tighter finish on dried flower at equivalent batch sizes because its geometry is designed specifically for that state of the material. If maximizing dry-trim quality and trichome retention is the primary goal and you have no need for wet-trim capability, the DBT 0 is worth considering over the Mini. For more on this decision, see the DBT vs hybrid guide for Canadian growers.
Setup and Accessories
The Mini mounts on a stable surface, table, or optional rolling cart. Standard accessories for a Mini setup:
- 1.5 HP Blower for Mini: Matched to the Mini's airflow requirements. The Tabletop's 1 HP blower is undersized for the Mini.
- Variable speed control for Mini: Recommended for operators processing different cultivar types with varying density profiles.
Tandem Option
The Mini is available as a tandem configuration: the CenturionPro Mini Tandem links two Mini machines with a conveyor for roughly double throughput at the same operator count. For small commercial producers who have outgrown a single Mini but want to avoid the footprint and cost of moving to the Original or Gladiator tier, the tandem is a cost-efficient scale-up path.
Canadian Availability
The CenturionPro Mini is available through Trimleaf Canada with Canadian-dollar pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the CenturionPro Mini and the Tabletop Pro?
The Mini is larger and faster: ~35 lb/hr wet vs ~20 lb/hr for the Tabletop Pro, and ~7 lb/hr dry vs ~4 lb/hr. Both run on 120V and handle wet and dry flower on the same machine. The Tabletop Pro is the better fit for harvests under 5 lb per cycle. The Mini is the right choice when session time at those volumes becomes a constraint, or when you plan to scale production.
Can the Mini trim dry flower?
Yes. Like all CenturionPro hybrid wet/dry machines, the Mini handles both freshly harvested wet flower and hang-dried material by swapping to a finer tumbler mesh and reducing tumble speed. For operations exclusively trimming dried flower, the CenturionPro DBT family is purpose-built for that workflow and may deliver a tighter finish on dried material.
Is the Mini available with a Quantanium tumbler?
Yes. The Quantanium hybrid tumbler is available as an upgrade or pre-installed option. The non-stick coating reduces resin adhesion on high-terpene cultivars and speeds up cleaning between batches. It is compatible with the Mini frame.
Does the Mini require 240V electrical service?
No. The CenturionPro Mini runs on a standard 120V outlet, the same as the Tabletop Pro. This makes it compatible with residential grows, standard farm buildings, and retrofit processing spaces without requiring an electrician to add a dedicated circuit.
How does the Mini compare to the Trimpro Automatik?
At wet-trim throughput, both machines operate in a similar capacity range for small commercial operations. The key difference is workflow flexibility: the Mini handles both wet and dry flower on the same machine, while the Trimpro Automatik is a dedicated wet-trim design. Growers who wet-trim some harvests and dry-trim others get more utility from the Mini without buying a second machine.
