Significance
Mixing different compost components is essential for producing high-quality compost. This is currently done using costly and heavy mechanical equipment (such as JCB) with slower speed and improper mixing, or through labor-intensive manual methods.
Air is a critical element for aerobic bacterial growth, which helps in proper digestion of the cellulose content of straw. In current practices, this is achieved only through mechanical blowers.
Maintaining the correct moisture level is another key factor for effective bacterial growth, which is mostly managed manually at present.
To address these challenges, we have developed a mechanically operated compost turner (alteration machine).
Function
Used for preparing compost for button mushroom cultivation.
Ensures proper mixing of compost components during the turning process.
Provides efficient aeration.
Helps maintain optimal moisture levels in the compost.
Benefits
Delivers proper mixing with a higher mixing rate per hour.
Supports mixing, aeration, moisture balance, and bacterial growth simultaneously.
More cost-effective compared to traditional equipment and methods.
Material & Components
Stainless Steel (SS) for all water-contact components.
Mild Steel (MS) for all mechanically operated components.
Significance
A number of infections, especially the dangerous Trichoderma, can spread through the spray water used on mushrooms.
Very hot or cold water damages mushroom mycelium and affects its smooth growth.
This system pasteurizes, conditions, and sprays water to protect mushrooms from infections originating from water sources.
Regardless of whether the water source is groundwater or municipal supply, it consistently supports better mushroom growth.
Function
Used in automatic and semi-automatic modes for all types of mushrooms.
Pasteurization of water.
Water conditioning.
Uniform spraying system.
Maintains stable humidity levels of 80–85%.
Benefits
Eliminates the need for expensive RO water purification plants.
Consumes less electricity, ensuring minimal operating cost per cycle.
Material & Components
Pasteurization system capable of processing 250 liters of water per cycle.
Spraying system supporting 1 to 20 spray trees, each with 6 tiers, operating together.
