Grain boiler, mixer and bag filler for mushroom spawn production

 

The consumption of mushroom is becoming very popular in fast foods  in India. A large number of mushroom production units are coming up. These mushroom production units need spawn regularly for production of mushroom. The machineries for mushroom spawn production have been developed.

Grain cleaner  is for cleaning the grains by oscillating sieves.  A grain boiler is operated by 6 kW electric power. The mixer is for mixing boiled grains with chalk powder. The bag filler for spawn and innoculator for mother spawn has also been developed. These machineries have been developed for 100 kg per day of spawn production.

The use of machineries will reduce the labour requirement by 50%, power requirement by 60 % and labour efficiency is increased. The contamination of spawn is also reduced.
