System for growing mushrooms

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for growing mushrooms, comprising a shelving, comprising multiple support beds for holding compost and casing soil arranged above each other, a picking platform for harvesters, the platform movable with at least a vertical directional component along the shelving and a harvesting conveyor, comprising a harvesting conveyor belt that extends at least partially along the beds and is supported by a number of guides, along which the harvesting conveyor is movable, wherein at least one of the guides is coupled to the shelving; and at least one of the guides is coupled to the picking platform and is movable together with the platform with at least a vertical directional component.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . System for growing mushrooms, comprising a shelving, comprising multiple support beds for holding compost and casing soil arranged above each other, comprising a harvesting conveyor belt, being an endless belt comprising holes for receiving stipes of mushrooms, that extends at least partially along the beds and is supported by a number of guides, along which the harvesting conveyor is movable, wherein the harvesting conveyor belt is at least partially frameless. 
     
     
         2 . System according to  claim 1 , wherein the harvesting conveyor belt is frameless. 
     
     
         3 . System according to  claim 1 , comprising a picking platform for harvesters, the platform movable with at least a vertical directional component along the shelving a harvesting conveyor, wherein at least one of the guides is coupled to the shelving and at least one of the guides is coupled to the picking platform and is movable together with the platform with at least a vertical directional component. 
     
     
         4 . System according to  claim 2 , comprising a picking platform for harvesters, the platform movable with at least a vertical directional component along the shelving a harvesting conveyor, wherein at least one of the guides is coupled to the shelving and at least one of the guides is coupled to the picking platform and is movable together with the platform with at least a vertical directional component.
