Mushroom Cultivation Room Design

[Virtual Presenter] This is our training video on Mushroom Cultivation Room Design. The focus of this presentation is on designing a 30 x 60 ft room with AC unit and racks that is suitable for mushroom cultivation. By the end of this video, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how to create the perfect environment for growing mushrooms. Let's begin!.

[Audio] Slide number 2 of our presentation focuses on the Mushroom Cultivation Room Design for 30 × 60 ft rooms with AC unit and racks. This slide summarizes the key information regarding the recommended room size and equipment for optimal mushroom cultivation. The recommended room size is 30 × 60 ft per room, providing adequate space and being cost-efficient. Each room should have 10 racks, each measuring 30 ft in length and 4 ft in width with 8 layers to maximize vertical space and increase mushroom growth. A recommended amount of 4 kg of compost per square foot should be used, totaling to 38,400 kg of compost for a 30 × 60 ft room. This design is expected to produce 1,536 kg of mushrooms per cycle and with 24 rooms, a total of 921,600 kg of compost and 36,864 kg of mushrooms per cycle. This makes it an ideal design for large-scale mushroom cultivation. For further details, please continue to the next slide..

[Audio] This slide will discuss the Per-Room Calculations for a 30×60 ft room with an AC Unit and Racks in Mushroom Cultivation Room Design. Firstly, the shelf surface per rack is important in determining the required space for mushroom cultivation. With dimensions of 30 ft × 4 ft, the shelf surface per rack is 120 sq.ft. The second calculation is the total shelf surface of all 10 racks in a 30×60 ft room, which comes to 1,200 sq.ft. This is crucial in planning the layout and placement of the racks in the room. Additionally, considering the 8 layers of shelves in each rack, the total space needed for shelf surface is 9,600 sq.ft. Another important factor is the amount of compost required for mushroom cultivation. With the calculated shelf surface of 9,600 sq.ft, 38,400 kg of compost would be needed. Finally, based on a 4% yield for every 1 kg of compost, the 38,400 kg of compost in a 30×60 ft room would yield 1,536 kg of mushrooms. These Per-Room Calculations are crucial in designing and laying out a successful mushroom cultivation room. Accurate calculations and planning are necessary to ensure a successful production of mushrooms. Now, we will move on to slide number 4, where ideal temperature and humidity for a mushroom cultivation room will be discussed..

[Audio] Today, we will be discussing the layout design for a mushroom cultivation room. This slide focuses on the layout diagram, which consists of several elements such as aisles, racks, and specific sizes for each component. The layout includes a three-foot aisle to provide easy accessibility and proper ventilation for the racks. The racks are organized in a parallel layout with 10 racks in each room, measuring 30 feet in length and 4 feet in width, with a total of 8 layers. This layout maximizes space and creates optimal growing conditions for the mushrooms. Following this carefully designed layout is crucial for a successful and thriving growing environment. Please continue to the next slide for more details on the design. This concludes slide number four..

[Audio] Slide number 5 out of 9 covers the Mushroom Cultivation Room Design for 30 × 60 ft rooms, equipped with AC units and racks. We will now discuss the Bill of Materials for one room of this size. The first item on the list are the racks, with 10 required for each room. These racks have a steel frame and measure 30x4 ft, with 8 layers. They play a crucial role in the growing and organizational process of mushrooms. Moving on, each room will need a total of 38,400 kg of compost, a vital ingredient in the cultivation process. The amount of spawn required is in a range of 1,152-1,920 kg, which makes up 3-5% of the overall materials per room. This is also an essential component in the growth of mushrooms and must be carefully monitored. Additionally, wheat straw, specifically pre-compost, in a range of 48000-60000 kg is necessary to provide the necessary nutrients for the mushrooms to thrive. It is recommended to use humidifiers and a water reservoir to maintain the proper humidity levels in the room. Lastly, minimal lighting is needed for inspections only in order to check on the progress of the mushrooms without affecting their growth. This concludes our discussion of the Bill of Materials for a 30 × 60 ft mushroom cultivation room. Stay tuned for the rest of our presentation..

[Audio] In order to design a successful mushroom cultivation room, it is important to consider environmental control and AC sizing. The room under discussion is 30 feet by 60 feet with a height of 10 feet, resulting in a volume of 18000 cubic feet or 510 cubic meters. The recommended cooling load for this size of room is 50 watts per cubic meter, totaling 25.5 kilowatts or 7.25 tons of cooling power for each room. This means that for 24 rooms, the cooling load will add up to a significant 174 tons. To maintain the ideal environment for mushroom growth, a relative humidity of 85-95% and a CO₂ level below 1000-1500 parts per million is necessary. Proper fresh air circulation with filtration and a low-velocity air distribution system are also crucial. For effective cooling, it is suggested to use 7-8 ton AC units for each room. Modular units are also recommended for easier maintenance and control. These guidelines will result in a well-designed mushroom cultivation room that provides the ideal conditions for the growth of healthy and high-yielding mushrooms..

[Audio] This training video focuses on mushroom cultivation room design. We will discuss recommendations and next steps for designing a room that is 30 × 60 feet and equipped with an AC unit and racks. First, it is necessary to confirm the actual height of the room, which we will assume to be 10 feet for the purposes of this presentation. However, it is important to double check and make sure the room's height matches the design specifications. Next, determining the daily production target is crucial. Our experience has shown that a target of 500 kilograms per day is achievable in a room of this size, but it is important to assess individual needs and make adjustments accordingly. Once the production target is set, the next step is to decide on the spawn rate. For optimal production, it is recommended to use a spawn rate of 3-5%. This will ensure a healthy and efficient harvest. To maintain proper ventilation and temperature control, it is advised to consult an HVAC engineer to determine the appropriate size for the AC unit. This will create an ideal environment for mushroom growth and production. Lastly, it is essential to create a detailed CAD floor plan for the racks, AC ducts, and access aisles. This will ensure a functional and well-organized layout, making it easier to maintain and harvest mushrooms. In summary, to successfully design a mushroom cultivation room, it is important to confirm the room's height, establish a realistic production target, determine the spawn rate, consult an HVAC engineer, and create a detailed CAD floor plan. Thank you for watching this segment, and we hope this information will help with designing your own mushroom cultivation room..
