Phase 1

The vital foundation
of mushroom production

At Christiaens Group, we understand that a good start is essential, and we're here to guide you through every step.

While bunkers with aerated floors remain the most common used system, we present diverse options, from budget-friendly to state-of-the-art. Or would you like to know more about Phase 1 in tunnels? Offering advantages like higher bio efficiency, increased automation possibilities, superior odour treatment, and seamless automatic filling and emptying.

Aeration & mixing are key

Whatever you choose, aeration is key in Phase 1. From economical aerated floors to advanced systems controlled by state-of-the art technology – we've got it covered. Christiaens Group leads the way in odour control with innovative solutions, ensuring your environment is perfectly controlled.

At the heart of a successful compost lies the art of mixing, and Christiaens has revolutionized this process. We invented the overhead filling system, trusted by major compost producers globally, achieving the perfect mix for the highest productivity and ensuring your mushrooms thrive. We use advanced machines to destring straw bales and loosen straw. Efficiency meets innovation in every step of the process!

From blueprints to bricks

We design the entire building if you want. We don't deliver just machines and aeration systems, but provide the support you need from the very beginning.

Our involvement starts in the planning phase, where we collaborate closely with you to develop tailored solutions that meet your specific needs. We execute these plans, ensuring that every detail is attended to, all the way through to the final delivery. And yes, we can provide that composter to start-up the first batches, ensuring that your Phase 1 works smoothly from day one.

Brochure Phase 1 in tunnels

"Partnering with Christiaens Group for our Phase 1 composting facility was a game-changer for EOMP. We wanted to bring compost production home to Ontario, and together we overcame logistical and weather challenges. The moving floor tunnels, climate control improvements, and innovative filling methods have not only reduced manual labour but also made our operations more sustainable. We're proud to have a facility that meets local needs and sets a standard for efficiency and environmental responsibility in the mushroom industry. It's a testament to our commitment to a cleaner, greener future."
