MACHINE FOR WASHING, GRADING, CLEANING AND SLICING MUSHROOMS

摘要

A machine for washing, grading, cleaning and slicing the stalks of mushrooms. The machine includes a water tub in which the mushrooms are received in bulk, and an elevator for lifting the mushrooms from the water and delivering them to a belt mechanism through which smaller mushrooms are dropped and thereby graded by head size. The mushrooms, which do not fall through are discharged into a hopper. The graded mushrooms fall into guides with stalks downward, and cutting devices are provided for removing the soiled end and removing an additional portion, whereby the remaining stalks on the heads are all of a predetermined length. ?
