Grasshopper Kief Sifter

Description

Revolutionize your kief production with the Grasshopper Kief Sifter from Python Industries, engineered for speed, precision, and premium yield.

The Grasshopper is the next generation in post-harvest kief extraction technology. Designed and built in the USA by Python Industries (formerly Tom’s Tumbler). This cryogenic sifter is purpose-built for cultivators, extractors, and processors who demand top-quality results in record time. Whether you choose the Medium or Giant model. The Grasshopper is capable of processing more plant material faster than any other cryogenic kief extraction system in its class.

Why Choose the Grasshopper Kief Sifter?

Traditional cryogenic tumbling is slow, inconsistent, and labor-intensive. The Grasshopper changes the game. By combining high-frequency vibration with liquid CO₂ freezing. It efficiently separates trichomes from plant material in just 3–5 minutes per batch. Delivering a fine, clean kief ready for pressing, infusions, or further refinement.

With an output rate up to 20× faster than conventional methods, the Grasshopper allows you to maximize your throughput while maintaining exceptional quality.

Models & Capacity

• Medium Grasshopper – Processes 2–3 lbs of frozen trim or flower in 3–5 minutes per cycle.

• Giant Grasshopper – Handles a massive 15–20 lbs in the same time frame, perfect for large-scale operations.

Key Features on the Grasshopper Kief Sifter

Ultra-Fast Processing –

The Grasshopper is engineered to deliver a full kief separation in as little as three minutes per cycle. Drastically reducing labor time compared to traditional tumblers. This means you can run multiple batches back-to-back, boosting your daily output without sacrificing product quality. Perfect for facilities aiming to maximize efficiency during peak harvest season.

Cryogenic Precision –

Harness the power of liquid CO₂ to instantly drop material temperatures to cryogenic levels. This rapid freezing process makes trichomes brittle, enabling them to cleanly break away from plant material without contamination. The result is a higher-purity kief with improved flavor, aroma, and potency. This method also helps preserve the terpene profile, giving you a superior end product.

Multiple Screen Options –

Every Grasshopper comes with interchangeable kief screens in a range of micron sizes (70, 100, 110, and 150). These options allow you to fine-tune your extraction. Whether you want the cleanest possible sift for premium concentrates or a slightly larger particle size for other applications. The quick-change design makes it easy to swap screens between batches.

Food-Grade Stainless Steel Construction –

Built entirely from 304 stainless steel. The Grasshopper is corrosion-resistant, long-lasting, and compliant with strict food safety standards. Its solid construction not only ensures years of reliable use, but also maintains a professional-grade appearance suitable for licensed production facilities.

Easy to Clean –

Designed with sanitation in mind, the Grasshopper features a fully accessible open design and removable screens for quick cleaning between runs. This prevents cross-contamination and helps maintain consistent quality in every batch. The smooth stainless steel surfaces make wipe-downs fast and hassle-free.

GMP & CE Certified –

Both the Medium and Giant models meet Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and European CE certification requirements. This ensures the Grasshopper can be confidently operated in regulated, licensed facilities around the world. Meeting both safety and quality assurance standards.

Performance Benefits of the Grasshopper Kief Sifter

The Grasshopper’s advanced engineering blends high-frequency vibration with cryogenic freezing to deliver an unmatched level of efficiency and quality. By instantly freezing plant material with liquid CO₂, the trichomes become brittle and separate cleanly from the biomass when vibrated. This precision process yields more usable kief per batch without introducing unwanted plant matter or damaging delicate trichome heads.

The result is a premium-grade concentrate that retains its full terpene profile, vibrant aroma, and rich flavor, qualities that directly impact potency and customer satisfaction. Whether your end goal is full-melt block, rosin pressing, or large-scale concentrate production, the Grasshopper ensures you get maximum yield without sacrificing purity. This efficiency not only increases profitability but also improves workflow, allowing your team to focus on packaging, branding, and scaling your operations.

Grasshopper Kief Sifter, Who It’s For

The Grasshopper Cryogenic Kief Sifter is designed for serious professionals who value speed, consistency, and premium quality:

• Licensed Cultivators & Processors – Speed up post-harvest processing while producing kief that meets the highest quality standards.

• Extraction Labs Looking to Increase Throughput – Process more raw material in less time, making it easier to keep up with production demand.

• Facilities Demanding Consistent, High-Grade Output – Ideal for operations that want every batch to meet the same purity, potency, and flavor profile.

• Premium Product Lines – Perfect for brands looking to offer top-tier concentrates, solventless extracts, or infused pre-rolls.

Capacity & Build Quality

Medium Grasshopper – Built for mid- to high-volume processors, this model can handle 2 to 3 pounds of frozen trim or flower per cycle. Each run takes just 3 to 5 minutes, allowing you to process a significant volume in a single day. The stainless steel construction ensures long-term durability, easy cleaning, and compliance with GMP and CE standards.

Giant Grasshopper – Designed for large-scale production, the Giant model processes an impressive 15 to 20 pounds per cycle again, in only 3 to 5 minutes. This throughput makes it ideal for industrial-sized grows and extraction labs that need to move high volumes quickly. Like the Medium model, it’s made entirely from stainless steel and fully meets GMP and CE certifications, ensuring it’s suitable for use in regulated environments.
