Product Description
The SLMXH10A Mushroom Shelf Loading Machine is an intelligent automation solution developed for modern edible mushroom cultivation factories. It is mainly used for transporting mushroom cultivation baskets and automatically placing them onto multi-layer growing shelves during the mushroom cultivation process.
In traditional mushroom farms, workers need to manually move heavy mushroom baskets from production areas to cultivation rooms and place them layer by layer onto growing shelves. This process requires significant labor input, has low efficiency, and becomes more difficult when dealing with multi-layer cultivation racks. Automated shelf loading equipment helps solve these problems by providing continuous, accurate, and labor-saving basket transfer operations.
The SLMXH10A adopts an advanced PLC intelligent control system with automatic detection and fault alarm functions. The machine can automatically identify operating conditions and adjust the loading process according to preset parameters, ensuring stable and reliable operation.
The equipment supports flexible adjustment of shelf layers and can work with both single-row and double-row loading arrangements, allowing customers to adapt the machine to different mushroom growing room layouts and shelf designs.
With a loading efficiency of 8-10 baskets per minute, this machine significantly improves production efficiency compared with manual operation. It can automatically complete basket lifting, positioning, and loading, reducing physical labor requirements and helping mushroom factories achieve a higher level of automation.
The SLMXH10A is especially suitable for industrial mushroom farms that use multi-layer cultivation shelves. By integrating this machine into a complete mushroom production line, growers can create a more efficient workflow from bag preparation, sterilization, inoculation, cultivation, and harvesting.
Working Principle
Mushroom Basket Feeding
After mushroom bags are prepared and placed into cultivation baskets, the baskets are transported to the loading position.
The machine receives the baskets through the feeding system and prepares them for automatic shelf placement.
Automatic Detection and Position Confirmation
The PLC control system detects:
- Basket position
- Shelf height
- Loading status
- Equipment operation conditions
The automatic detection system ensures accurate positioning before loading.
Shelf Height Adjustment
According to the preset cultivation shelf structure, the machine automatically adjusts the loading height.
The adjustable shelf-layer function allows the equipment to adapt to different mushroom room designs and multi-layer cultivation systems.
Automatic Basket Transfer
The machine automatically transfers mushroom baskets from the loading area to the cultivation shelf.
The controlled movement ensures:
- Stable basket transportation
- Accurate placement
- Reduced collision risk
Automatic Shelf Loading
The basket is accurately placed onto the designated shelf position.
The system supports:
- Single-row loading
- Double-row loading
This improves space utilization inside mushroom growing rooms.
Continuous Automatic Operation
After completing one loading cycle, the machine automatically returns to the starting position and continues the next operation.
The PLC system continuously monitors the equipment status and activates an alarm if abnormal conditions occur.
Suitable Raw Materials and Mushroom Types
Sawdust-based mushroom substrate bags
Wood chip substrate bags
Corn cob-based substrate
Cottonseed hull substrate bags
Agricultural waste-based mushroom substrate
