Appl. No.:

10/624982

Inventors:

Remo Toto - Lincoln University PA 19352

International Classification:

B30B 300

US Classification:

100152, 100153, 100102, 100188 R, 2411891, 414272

Abstract:

A mushroom compost compacting assembly includes a feed hopper unit, a mixer unit, a conveyor unit and a compactor unit all of which are separate and distinct from each other. The units are detachably connected to each other so that the units could be assembled at the mushroom house itself adjacent to the mushroom beds. Compost would be fed to the hopper unit and then to the mixer unit which would spread the compost and feed some of the compost to the conveyor unit with the remaining compost being fed to the compactor unit. The compactor unit includes a series of compactor drums for compacting the compost. The compost fed into the conveyor unit would be discharged directly on the netting of a mushroom bed while the compacted compost from the compactor unit would be delivered to the mushroom bed directly on the compost delivered by the conveyor.
