Commercial Mushroom Sterilizers & Cultivation Equipment

Which Mushroom Sterilizer Fits Your Farm?

Choose by how much grain or substrate you run per cycle, and whether you need to pasteurize as well as sterilize.

Commercial Mushroom Cultivation Equipment, Direct From the Manufacturer

Blue Myco MFG builds commercial mushroom sterilizers, autoclaves and pasteurizers for growers who have outgrown pressure cookers, and supplies the equipment and consumables that feed them. Our own B-310L, B-550L and B-1180L run 450, 700 and 1,500 pounds of grain per cycle and handle both sterilization and pasteurization in the same chamber. For smaller operations, the 25Q benchtop, 150L and 200L autoclaves cover lab work through mid-size production.

Around the sterilizer we stock the rest of the production line: the 400L ribbon mixer for consistent substrate batches, filter patch spawn and fruiting bags, an 8mm impulse sealer for closing them, and substrate and growing supplies by the bag, case and pallet. When a machine needs service, replacement parts come from our own shelves, not an overseas supplier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between sterilizing and pasteurizing substrate?

Sterilization runs at high temperature under pressure to kill everything in the substrate, and it is required for grain spawn and supplemented sawdust such as Masters Mix. Pasteurization runs at a lower temperature to reduce competing organisms while leaving some beneficial microbes, and it is used for bulk substrates like straw. Only our B-series sterilizers hold the lower setpoint pasteurization needs; the 25Q, 150L and 200L sterilize only.

How do I choose the right sterilizer size?

Start from how many pounds of grain or substrate you need to process per cycle, then consider how many cycles you can run per day. Use the comparison table above as a guide, and contact us with your production numbers if you are between sizes.

What electrical service do the sterilizers need?

The 25Q runs on a standard 110V outlet. The 150L and 200L need a 240V circuit, and the B-series machines are industrial units with their own electrical requirements, so call us before you plan the install. Have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit before your machine arrives.

How does shipping work?

Shipping is free on non-freight orders over $99. Items that ship by freight truck are quoted separately, except where a listing says freight is free. Freight is currently free on the B-310L, B-550L and B-1180L sterilizers.

Do you stock replacement parts?

Yes. Gaskets, heating elements, relief valves, sensors and probes for our sterilizers are stocked in-house, so a worn part costs you days rather than weeks. Browse our sterilizer parts collection or call us for anything not listed.

Can I buy bags, substrate and supplies in bulk?

Yes. Our filter patch bags come in packs of up to 800, and Masters Mix and coco coir are available by the pallet in our growing supplies. Contact us for freight quotes on pallet orders.
