NEW AUTOCLAVABLE MUSHROOMS BAGS TUMBLER OF UNICORN BAGS

Created on 24.04.2019

For best results with your spawn run, it is necessary to fully mix the spawn with the substrate after it is sealed in the bag. 

 Shaking the bag by hand helps, but does not fully do the job.  Some mechanical shakers can damage the bags and lead to contamination.  UNICORN BAGS  has developed a double axis tumbler that safely and completely mixes the spawn with the substrate to insure a fast spawn run. This mushroom industry specific rotating tumble mixer uses custom and proprietary trademarked technologies to achieve a consistent single pass bi-directional or bi-axial mixing motion of the contents of spawn inoculated substrate bags.

Double axis mixing is achieved by first tumbling the bags end to end in a rotating drum.  After tumbling, the bags are set free to rotate in a side-to-side motion.  Finally the bags are rolled to complete mixing.  The bags can be fed into the machine manually or there is an optional automatic system.

The machine has a floor footprint of 40″ x 96″ and an overall height of 65″ or less depending upon model desired. The unit is custom configured to maximize the mixing action within a given substrate sizing parameter. Modular construction of the drum assemblies on standard heavy duty machinery bases make such custom configurations possible. Field service of the reliable drive mechanisms use common over-the-counter parts for continued productivity and easy manageability.

Advantages of filtered bags

They remain soft and easy to seal after heat treatment in an autoclave for up to six hours at (125 ° C).There are many models and sizes of standard bags, with different types of filters and we can also customize them for special needs.They can provide an adequate exchange of gases, but excluding...

VALORISATION OF THE SPENT MUSHROOM SUBSTRATE (SMS) IS CRUCIAL FOR DEVELOPING A SUSTAINABLE MUSHROOM INDUSTRY IN THE FRAME OF A CIRCULAR-ECONOMY MODEL

The study of the exploitation potential of the Spent substrate from mushroom cultivation has been a topic that has always aroused my curiosity. Many years ago, it has been 20 years since I began my research and experiences in relation to this matter, back in 2003, when almost no one was talking about sustainability, climate change or the circular economy, much less in the field of mushrooms...
