Dofra Foodtec has supplied products for the cultivation and harvesting of mushrooms for almost fifty years. These include growing beds, net cleaners, edge cutters, picking lorries and hydraulic lifting platforms.

We also have a wide range of machinery for the processing of mushrooms available. Evacuation, blanching, slicing, cooling and packing: Dofra Foodtec machinery makes it possible.

Mushroom growing is characterised by high labour intensity. A key element in the development of Dofra’s products for the mushroom growing sector is therefore increasing the labour performance. Dofra's products also exemplify an optimal response to the demands placed by buyers of mushrooms on hygiene and food safety standards.

Our shelving systems make the most efficient use of the available space in a growing room. The shelving system is also eminently suitable for the use of automated equipment during cultivation and harvesting. Aluminium shelving is an ideal basic material for equipment in growing rooms. The material is low weight, has a high resistance to corrosion and its high residual value makes it ideal for application in modern mushroom farms. Dofra can also supply steel shelving with fully galvanized parts in a range of different versions. The success of our shelving is thanks to its durability and flexibility. The ingenious modular construction and clear instruction manual means that shelves are up and ready for use in no time. All the fixtures supplied with the shelving are made form high quality materials or stainless steel.

Growing mushrooms is a true art. The same applies to designing and developing equipment used in the cultivation and harvesting phases. This cannot be done by computers - but only by people who are passionate about their trade. With years of experience in the mushroom sector. You will notice this expert attention to detail from the very moment you start using the Dofra automatic watering system.

Every aspect is focussed on achieving the very best results. Advanced technology ensures that precisely the right amount of water is applied to the right place on the beds at the time entered by the user. A standard feature on the Dofra system is full registration of the dose rate. The Dofra watering system enjoys worldwide fame thanks to the way in which it is geared to the practical conditions on mushroom farms. For example, all Dofra watering systems have extensive security features. These activate if external factors threaten to disrupt a good watering pattern. For instance, unexpected obstacles in the path or problems with the water supply.

The Dofra watering tree and watering lorry were developed to ensure your mushrooms are watered optimally. Supplying water efficiently, followed by the precise application of water over the growing bed were the central elements. Dofra watering trees and watering lorries are customised products, which are always made to match your specific wishes. Whether you want to apply water on just one or two sides of the beds, the ideal solution for your situation can be found in both cases. All our watering trees and watering lorries are made from high quality materials. This guarantees a long service life and extreme ease of use. Control valves, water meters, manometers and shut off valves are standard features on the watering trees and watering lorries.

As well as the equipment detailed here, Dofra also supplies fully automatic systems.

To make optimal use of the Dofra watering systems, a range of auxiliary equipment has been developed to provide a good water supply. Water tanks are available as fixed or mobile units. For fixed systems, the standard storage capacities are from 1100 to 4000 litres, other tank capacities are also possible. Frequency controlled multi-stage centrifugal pumps are usually supplied for the fixed system with capacities ranging from 100 to 500 litres per minute and a working pressure of 5 to 10 bar. The use of frequency controlled pumps limits energy consumption. Other types of pumps and capacities are also available.

Mobile storage tanks are available in standard capacities of 200, 300, 800, 1000 and 1200 litres. The synthetic tank is mounted onto a fully galvanized frame with rigid wheel and castors so large volumes of water can be stored temporarily . Disinfectants can also be added if required. The mobile storage tanks can be supplied with various pump capacities.
