Dutch shelves

The proven system, trusted by growers worldwide for decades: Dutch shelves. These are designed to maximize space utilization while ensuring optimal conditions for mushroom growth. With a focus on efficiency and ease of use, our shelves streamline the cultivation process. Christiaens Dutch shelves are crafted with precision, providing a sturdy and reliable platform for mushroom cultivation. Optimising the harvest can be done by our invented hydraulic harvesting lorries or even belt technology. 

Tilting shelves

Tilting shelves for mushroom cultivation aim at achieving maximum harvest efficiency while prioritizing ergonomic work practices. By dividing the process into pinning and harvesting stages, our dedicated rooms enhance focus, hygiene, and disease prevention. The picker, utilizing an easy-to-use remote control, maintains an upright position in front of the mushrooms. This ergonomic approach ensures a quick and precise harvest, with the mushrooms automatically cut and ready for packing at the end of the line.

Drawer system

The Christiaens Drawer System is designed to revolutionize your mushroom harvesting process. With pickers able to work with both hands and eliminate tasks like logistics and cutting, you can double your harvesting efficiency—proven and tested in the field. Our system features easy-to-move beds for optimal harvest selection, allows multiple harvests in the same area, and offers the option for robotic harvesting (in collaboration with Mycionics) to further boost productivity.

The Drawer System is designed to support sustainable and future-proof farming. Build your farm to be nearly climate neutral, use big data to predict growth, optimize harvests and automate processes.
