CenturionPro GC1 Gentle Cut Bucker – Optional Stand Available
The CenturionPro GC Bucker is an operator-run de-stemming machine that requires the operator to apply gentle pressure to feed the stem in the machine. GC refers to “Gentle Cut” as we appreciate and understand how delicate flowers are. This bucker cuts the flowers off the stem, which prevents the large crown buds from breaking apart into smaller pieces. This keeps the structure of the buds fully intact preserving the look of the flower.

The CenturionPro GC Bucker is an operator-run de-stemming machine that requires the operator to apply gentle pressure to feed the stem in the machine. GC refers to “Gentle Cut” as we appreciate and understand how delicate flowers are. This bucker cuts the flowers off the stem, which prevents the large crown buds from breaking apart into smaller pieces. This keeps the structure of the buds fully intact preserving the look of the flower.
The GC1 accepts stems up to 3/8″ in diameter and can do the work of 2-3 human workers and will process up to 40 pounds–per hour–of fully hydrated flowers! The GC1 has a 0.25hp motor that produces over 3000 cuts per minute, making it the perfect tabletop machine. Plus, it is easy to set up, clean and requires little maintenance! The GC bucker comes with a cleaning system which removes and collects all debris into a vacuum bag, making clean up a breeze. The system is easy to set up, clean, requires little maintenance and comes with a 5 year warranty.
Upgrade your GC1 bucker to include a Bucker Stand. Make the most of your processing time with added ease of de-stemming and improve portability as our Bucker Stands operate on a 4-wheel system. The Bucker Stand comes standard with industrial casters.
Preparation for Use & Tips for Dry Bucking:
Environment Preparation
- Ensure adequate space
- Review electrical requirements
- Have adequate bins for product transport
- Cooler temperatures in processing room is beneficial
Plant Preparation
- Cut main stalk
- Seperate each individual stem (no ‘y’ junctions)
- Leave 3″ of stem for clearance into machine
- Ensure clean angled cuts for precise feeding
Feeding
- Keep prepped product stem side up for efficiency
- Size the stem to fi t the ideal hole
- Feed end first into machine
- Use variable speed control to adjust flow
Moisture Content
- Moisture content is critical for ensuring minimal damage to the flower
- Flower that is too dry will fall apart
- Flower that has too much moisture will compact and dent
- For best results with dry bucking, moisture content should be between 12% and 14% when using a machine
Bud Consistency
- Buds should be “springy”- when the flower is squeezed between two fingers it will rebound and return to its original shape
- Both big and smaller stems must be pliable when bucking with a machine such as a GC or HP System
- Pliable stems ensures that they fold and are stripped upon entering the bucking machine. If too brittle, they will simply break off and will not be properly stripped
Machine Speed
- Slowing the machine speed for dry bucking will lead to a better result
- Dry bucking at 1/2 or 1/3 of the regular speed will ensure better results
- The variable speed control off ered by our HP Bucker is a great feature when bucking dry material
