Mushroom Bag Sealer: Things You May Want to Know

The bagging production line adopts a double-mixing structure and can be equipped with a punching bagging machine or a barrel bagging machine. It is suitable for bagging operations of many varieties such as enoki mushrooms, pleurotus eryngii, shiitake mushrooms, and white mushroom.

The multi-station barrel-holding bagging machine production line adopts a double-mixing and storage mode, which allows the bagging machine to operate continuously. The bagging length and tightness of the bagging machine are adjustable, which is suitable for the operation of long bags of shiitake mushrooms. The sleeve is replaceable, and it integrates multiple process operations such as mixing, lifting, material distribution, bagging, and automatic tying, which can meet the daily production of nearly 80,000 bags.

Edible Mushroom Mite Control Technology Optimization
About 7 days after sowing edible mushrooms, effective mite control measures should be taken to ensure production quality. The following are detailed methods for mite control:
Observation and Detection
After covering the substrate with a colored film for 5-10 minutes, closely observe the culture material with a magnifying glass. Once small, flat or oval-shaped, white or yellow mites with multiple bristles are found, immediately take the following measures to eliminate them:
1. Fumigation for Mite Control
Soak cotton balls in dichlorvos and place them on the substrate under the bed frame. Cover the bed surface with plastic to allow the fumes from the pesticide to kill the mites.
2. Pesticide Spraying for Mite Control
Use the following pesticide solutions for spraying:

50% oxydemeton-methyl 1000 times solution
Pyrethrin 1500 times solution
Acaricide 500 times solution

Alternatively, spraying with 400 times diluted laundry detergent solution can also effectively control mites in 2-3 applications.
3. Rapeseed Cake Attractant for Mite Control
Place damp cloths on the infested substrate and scatter freshly roasted rapeseed cake powder on top. When the mites gather on the rapeseed cake powder, remove the cloth and place it in boiling water to kill the mites.
4. Vinegar-Sugar Pesticide Attractant
Prepare a vinegar-sugar solution:

1 part acetic acid
1 part water
0.1 part white sugar
1-2 drops of dichlorvos

Soak a piece of cloth or cotton in the solution and place it on the substrate. When the mites gather, remove and boil to kill them. Repeat the operation until all mites are eliminated.
5. Fresh Bone Attractant for Mite Control
Place fresh pig bones evenly on the affected substrate. When mites gather on the bones, place the bones in boiling water to kill the mites. Repeat several times until the substrate is free of mites.
Control Suggestions

Prevention First: Keep the culture material and surrounding environment clean to prevent mite infestation.
Prompt Action: Take immediate measures once mites are detected to prevent widespread infestation.
Safe Operation: When using chemical pesticides, follow the correct dilution ratios to ensure production safety and product quality.

By implementing these control measures, mites in the edible mushroom production process can be effectively managed, improving both yield and quality.

As the food processing industry demands higher efficiency and quality, intelligent energy-saving wild mushroom drying machines have emerged as essential tools. These machines utilize precise temperature control and advanced airflow circulation systems to provide efficient and eco-friendly drying solutions.
1. Innovative Technology Enhances Product Quality
Equipped with smart control systems, these machines ensure uniform and stable drying by real-time adjustment of temperature and timing. Unlike traditional drying methods, the machines retain the nutritional content and natural flavor of wild mushrooms while minimizing spoilage risks.
2. Energy Efficiency Reduces Production Costs
The machines operate with low energy consumption and utilize recirculating airflow technology to significantly reduce drying time. This not only increases efficiency but also reduces labor costs, making it a cost-effective investment for food processors and farmers.
3. Safety and Hygiene Ensure Reliable Production
Designed with food safety and operational reliability in mind, the machines feature fire protection and overheat alarms. They prevent overheating or uneven drying, ensuring consistent quality and enhancing production safety.
4. Versatile Applications Meet Diverse Needs
Beyond wild mushrooms, these machines are ideal for drying shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, lion’s mane mushrooms, and other edible fungi. They are also widely used in processing medicinal herbs, fruits, and vegetables.
Through innovation and energy efficiency, wild mushroom drying machines not only advance food processing modernization but also provide a powerful tool for cost reduction and increased productivity in the industry.

Mushroom production heavily depends on cultivation bags. As the saying goes: "Mushrooms first, bags second, management third." This highlights the importance of bag quality as the foundation of successful mushroom cultivation. However, issues like bag rupture, contamination, uneven substrate adhesion, or poor fruiting often stem from overlooked bag quality and selection, which ultimately impacts mushroom yields.
Today, we will discuss how to assess the quality of cultivation bags and share some practical tips for selection.


Methods to Assess Bag Quality
1. Check the Appearance
Align the bottom seal and the opening of the bag. If the edges are uneven, the bag is likely handcrafted, which makes it less airtight. On the other hand, machine-sealed bags are evenly aligned and generally offer better airtightness and sealing.
2. Inspect the Heat-Sealing Line
If the sealing line is opaque, it indicates manual sealing. Such bags have poor plasticity, are prone to air leakage, and are stiffer, making them more susceptible to breakage. In contrast, machine-sealed lines are transparent, soft, and durable, ensuring over 95% airtightness and reliable sealing.

3. Examine Bag Color and Consistency
High-quality bags have a clear, uniform, and smooth appearance. To check thickness, open the bag and feel it by running your hands around in a circle. If you notice uneven thickness or thin spots, the bag is likely to tear easily.

4. Puncture Test with Fingernail
Inflate a bag and seal it. Try puncturing it with a fingernail. If the bag does not leak, it indicates good quality.
5. Submersion Test
Seal the inflated bag and submerge it in a water basin. If no bubbles appear, the bag is airtight and meets quality standards. Bags with leaks are more prone to contamination during cultivation.

6. Feel the Surface
Run your hands over the surface of the bag to check for smoothness. A smooth surface suggests that the bag contains fewer recycled materials, indicating higher quality.

7. Inspect Against Sunlight
Hold the bag up to sunlight to check for small black dots. These dots are unmelted particles from recycled materials. If such particles are abundant, avoid using the bag.
8. Stretch Test
Cut a strip about 1 cm wide from the bag. Hold both ends of the strip and gently pull to stretch it. The farther it stretches without breaking, the better the bag quality.



Additional Tips
There are many ways to evaluate bag quality, but it’s crucial to select cultivation bags from certified manufacturers. Mushroom cultivation is challenging and requires careful attention to every detail. Choosing high-quality cultivation bags is an essential step that should never be overlooked!
