Abstract
Device for delivering at least a layer of compost and casing soil to a shelving for growing mushrooms, comprising a first conveyor, on which in a downstream direction are arranged a first hopper with a receiving opening for receiving compost and a dispensing opening for delivering a compost layer on the first conveyor and a second hopper with a receiving opening for receiving casing soil and a dispensing opening for delivering casing soil on the compost layer wherein at least one separator for separating in a direction perpendicular to the downstream direction at least two fractions of the layer of compost with casing soil.
Claims11
A method for delivering at least two parallel layers of compost and casing soil to a shelving for growing mushrooms, comprising:
- providing a layer of compost on a carrier;
- providing a layer of casing soil on a top of the compost;
- splitting up the layer of the compost with the casing soil on the top of the compost in a direction perpendicular to a downstream direction of the carrier into at least two separate parallel fractions, both of which are on the carrier, of the layer of the compost with the casing soil on the top of the compost;
- and
- delivering separately but simultaneously the at least two separate parallel fractions of the layer of the compost with the casing soil on the top of the compost to the shelving while maintaining a separation of the at least two separate parallel fractions on the shelving.
A method for delivering at least two parallel layers of compost and casing soil to a shelving for growing mushrooms, comprising using a device that comprises:
- a first conveyor:
- a first hopper, arranged on the first conveyor, with a receiving opening for receiving compost and a dispensing opening for delivering a compost layer on the first conveyor;
- a second hopper, arranged on the first conveyor downstream with respect to the first hopper, with a receiving opening for receiving casing soil and a dispensing opening for delivering the casing soil on a top of the compost layer;
- at least one separator arranged on the first conveyor and configured to separate the compost layer with the casing soil on the top of the compost layer in a direction perpendicular to the downstream direction into at least two separate parallel fractions, both of which are on the first conveyor, of the compost layer with the casing soil on the top of the compost layer;
- and
- a delivery end configured to deliver separately but simultaneously the at least two separate parallel fractions of the compost layer with the casing soil on the top of the compost layer to the shelving while maintaining a separation of the at least two separate parallel fractions of the compost layer on the shelving.

- and
- transferring the at least two separate parallel fractions of the layer of the compost with the casing soil on the top of the compost simultaneously to the shelving for growing mushrooms.
