What Is Mushroom Size Grading Machine?

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. 

1.Raw Material Preparation Mix raw materials according to the nutritional needs of the mushroom species (e.g., 78% sawdust, 20% bran, 1% gypsum, 1% lime). Use sawdust from broad-leaved trees (e.g., poplar, birch) and screen out large impurities. Bran must be fresh and free of mold, while corn cobs should be crushed into particles 1/4 to 1/3 the size of a corn kernel for uniform mixing. Use a spiral mixer to blend the materials for 15-20 minutes, ensuring even distribution and consistent nutrition to support mycelium growth.、 2.Bag Formation Use a bagging machine to evenly fill polypropylene bags with the prepared mixture, adjusting weight and compactness as required (e.g., shiitake mushroom bags typically weigh 1.2-3 kg with moderate compactness). After filling, seal the bags with a binding machine to ensure a firm closure, preventing contamination. Machine binding is more efficient and reliable, making it a critical step in the production process. 3.Sterilization Sterilization is crucial and requires strict control of temperature, pressure, and time: Atmospheric Sterilization: Place the mushroom bags in a sterilization chamber, maintaining a temperature of 100°C for 10-12 hours using steam. High-Pressure Sterilization: Sterilize under high temperature and pressure (121°C, 0.1-0.15 MPa) for 2-3 hours. This method is more effective but involves higher equipment costs. After sterilization, allow the bags to cool to a safe temperature before moving to the inoculation stage. 4.Inoculation Inoculation must be performed in a sterile environment. Operators wear sterile clothing and use disinfected tools (e.g., inoculation needles, scoops) to evenly introduce the spawn into holes or onto the surface of the mushroom bags. The inoculation amount depends on the species and bag size (e.g., 10-15 g per bag for enoki mushrooms). The inoculation room is equipped with air filtration systems, UV lamps, and ozone generators to maintain sterility. Pass-through windows facilitate the transfer of materials while minimizing external contamination. 5.Cultivation Place mushroom bags on multi-layer cultivation racks with adequate spacing for ventilation and observation. Adjust the environment based on the mushroom species: Temperature: 22-26°C for shiitake, 20-25°C for king oyster mushrooms. Humidity: Maintain at 60-70% using humidifiers or dehumidifiers. Light: Oyster mushrooms thrive in diffused light, while enoki mushrooms grow better in darkness. Ventilation: Ensure 1-2 air exchanges per hour to meet the oxygen needs of the mycelium. Regularly inspect the growth conditions, and adjust ventilation or environmental parameters if excessive growth or abnormalities are detected, ensuring smooth cultivation progress.

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.
