There are various equipment are required to set up a successful mushroom farming business and an Autoclave is one of them. We make vertical as well as horizontal autoclaves for mushroom substrate sterilization. These mushroom autoclaves are fully automatic in nature and completely made of 304-grade stainless steel. Durable construction, precise temperature and pressure control and loaded with safety features; these autoclaves the perfect choice for all mushroom growers.
Mushroom Substrate Sterilization
The most important phase in the mushroom farming is the sterilization of substrate. In order to get rid of potential bacteria, fungi and many other contaminants, sterilization is considered the best solution and the equipment used in this process is called an Autoclave. Mushroom substrate bags are kept in autoclave under high temperature (121°C) and very high pressure (15-18 psi) between 60 to 120 minutes to effectively eliminate viruses and fungi and other bacteria. Sterilization time may differ according to the volume and properties of the substrate.
We at STERICOX manufacture, supply and export mushroom autoclave. Our STXVAP220 (220 liters vertical autoclave) is the best-selling model around the world. This autoclave is fully made of 304 grade stainless steel for corrosion free performance. It is fitted with digital temperature controller with in-built timer and alarm. Operator can set both the temperature and timer; when the timer ends, loud beep sound alerts the operator. Steam is automatically released after sterilization. This unit comes with two heavy duty stainless steel wire baskets equipped with removable handles. Every mushroom autoclave is thoroughly tested on multiple parameters before dispatch to ensure excellent quality for our customers.
