Pollinator® Dry Sift Machines – The Gold Standard for Kief Collection and Solventless Extraction
For anyone serious about producing high-quality dry sift, Pollinator® dry sift machines are an essential tool. Manufactured in the Netherlands and trusted worldwide since the 1990s, Pollinator® machines offer a reliable, efficient way to separate trichomes from dried plant material. At Squish Tech, we proudly stock the Pollinator® P150 and Pollinator® P500 models, perfectly suited for both home growers and small commercial extractors who want consistent, premium-quality dry sift.
What Is a Pollinator® Dry Sift Machine?
A Pollinator® dry sift machine, also known as a kief tumbler, dry sift extractor, or hash sifter, is a motorized device that spins dried plant material inside a rotating mesh drum. This tumbling action causes resin glands (trichomes) to break off cleanly from the plant matter and fall through the micron screen, collecting as pure, solventless dry sift or kief.
Compared to traditional manual hand sifting, Pollinator® machines deliver much higher yields, improved consistency, and better preservation of the delicate terpenes and cannabinoids that give dry sift its flavour and potency. Using a Pollinator® is the easiest way to produce clean, melt-quality dry sift ready for pressing into hash or rosin.
Pollinator® P150 – Compact, Quiet, and Ideal for Home Use
The Pollinator® P150 is designed for personal users, hobby growers, and small-batch extractors. With a capacity of up to 150 grams of dried material per run, it’s ideal for trimming rooms, small grows, or anyone looking to maximize the value of their popcorn buds, trim, or sugar leaf.
You can choose between two versions:
-
Pollinator® P150 Solid Base – features a built-in collection tray to keep your dry sift contained and make clean-up effortless. View the P150 Solid Base here
-
Pollinator® P150 Bottomless – open at the bottom so you can place your own tray or baking sheet underneath. This version provides more flexibility, especially if you want to collect sift continuously into larger containers. See the P150 Bottomless here
The P150 is quiet and easy to operate, making it a perfect dry sift machine for beginners or anyone with limited workspace. It’s also an excellent companion to home rosin presses, helping you prepare clean, melt-quality kief for pressing.
Pollinator® P500 – The Mid-Size Solution for Small Commercial Extractors
For those with higher production demands, the Pollinator® P500 is a step up. It can process up to 500 grams of dried material per cycle, making it well-suited for boutique hash makers, small commercial growers, and rosin producers who need consistent, high-quality dry sift on a larger scale.
The P500 also comes in two variants:
-
Pollinator® P500 Solid Base – an all-in-one unit with integrated sift collection, ideal for cleanroom workflows or mobile setups. Check out the P500 Solid Base here
-
Pollinator® P500 Bottomless – allows you to collect sift into your own trays or containers, making it easier to run continuous batches without downtime. View the P500 Bottomless here
This model is well-suited for commercial operators wanting to scale solventless extraction processes without investing in larger industrial sifters. When paired with a rosin press, the P500 enables an efficient workflow for producing premium full-melt hash and rosin products.
Solid Base vs Bottomless: Which Pollinator® Model Should You Choose?
Both the Pollinator® P150 and P500 come in solid base and bottomless versions. Your choice depends on your workspace, batch size, and preferred workflow.
| Version | Best For | Advantages |
|---|---|---|
| Solid Base | Small setups, plug-and-play users | Self-contained, easy to clean, minimal mess |
| Bottomless | Custom trays, larger or continuous batches |

Why Choose Pollinator® Dry Sift Machines?
Pollinator® machines are built to last, with robust European-made motors and precision-engineered drums. Their tumbling action evenly separates trichomes without damaging their structure or compromising the terpene profile. Many extractors have Pollinator® machines still running reliably after 15+ years, proving their durability and long-term value.
Using a Pollinator® dry sift machine not only increases your overall yield but also improves product consistency and purity. This results in higher-quality kief that presses better, melts cleaner, and commands higher prices on the market.
