PolenMaker: the simplest manual pollinator to make the most of your trim
After harvest there are always small leaves, trim and tiny buds covered in trichomes. The PolenMaker manual pollinator lets you recover that resin cleanly and easily. It’s an acrylic tube with a 140 µm internal screen: all it takes is cold and a few shakes for the resin to pass through the mesh and collect at the bottom.
How it works
Dry sifting relies on a simple physical principle: when cold, trichomes become brittle and break away from the plant material easily. As you shake the PolenMaker, the resin passes through the 140 µm screen while leaves and debris stay on top. Everything happens inside the tube: no water, ice, solvents or electricity.
Step-by-step instructions
- Prepare the material: break up dry trim and small buds and remove thick stems.
- Load the tube: add 10–15 g without packing it down and close it tightly. The airtight seal keeps moisture out.
- Chill: put the PolenMaker in the freezer for a couple of hours.
- Shake: take it out and shake it vigorously for a few minutes.
- Collect: open the bottom section and collect the resin with a card or spatula.
Tip: the first shakes give the cleanest resin. Keep going and you’ll get more, but with more plant debris. You can keep the two fractions separate.
Why choose the PolenMaker
- 140 µm stainless steel screen: a good balance between purity and yield.
- Clear acrylic: watch the resin fall without opening the tube.
- Useful capacity: 10–15 g per session, more than many pocket pollinators, with an indicative yield of 1–1.5 g.
- Reusable and easy to clean: no wear parts or consumables.

Cleaning and care
Clean the screen and cylinder with isopropyl alcohol and let them air-dry before the next use. A clean, dry screen is the key to good resin flow.
PolenMaker or Secret Shaker?
If you want something even smaller and cheaper, the Secret Shaker has a finer 120 µm screen, giving slightly cleaner resin in smaller amounts. For bigger volumes without shaking by hand, step up to the electric Mini Maka Extract. You’ll find every option in our dry resin extraction category, and to compact your resin, our hash presses.
FAQ
How much resin does the PolenMaker yield?
From 10–15 g of dry material you can expect roughly 1–1.5 g, depending on the quality of the material and how long you shake.
Why does it need to go in the freezer?
Cold makes trichomes brittle so they break away much more easily. Without cold, resin sticks and yield drops.
Can I use it with damp material?
No. The material must be completely dry: moisture clumps the resin and clogs the screen.
Is it a pollinator for fertilising plants?
No. Despite the name, it’s a dry sift resin extractor: it separates trichomes from plant material.
