Tunnel emptying winch
The TUNNEL EMPTYING WINCH is the highest performing and most efficient way to empty the compost from the pasteurisation or incubation tunnels. It can be equipped with auger and front belt to offload onto a raised belt or directly onto a conveyor belt below. There are two models:
- SMALL: emptying capacity up to 100 tons
- BIG: emptying capacity up to 200 tons
Tunnel emptying winch: how it works
- The TUNNEL EMPTYING WINCH is positioned in front of the tunnel to be emptied by means of drive wheels. The weight of the machine is lifted off the rail by means of two stabilising cylinders, then the machine is fastened to the front of the tunnel with two screw props.
- Once the net has been attached to the net winding drum, the side doors are closed and the machine is ready to empty the compost from the tunnel. As the drum winds the net, it pulls the mass of compost out of the tunnel. The mass is then shredded in the tunnel emptying winch by means of two blade shredder shafts. The compost then falls either onto the auger and is conveyed on the elevator conveyor belt, or directly onto the underlying conveyor belt positioned in front of the tunnel. From here the compost can be conveyed:
- to the TUNNEL FILLING CASSETTE to fill another tunnel;
- to the CHAMPIGNON COMPOST BLOCK LINE or OYSTER COMPOST BLOCK LINE to be packed in blocks;
- to the truck or trailer for transportation to the mushroom farm for bulk loading onto the growing shelves.
- Once emptying is complete, the net must be unrolled from the drum, cleaned by means of the TUNNEL NET WASHER and repositioned on the floor of the tunnel to be filled.
