Mushroom Powder Process Description
1. Reception of Dried Mushrooms:
Our raw materials, consisting of dried mushrooms, are either sourced from our proprietary farms or collected from wild forests. Upon arrival at our factory, they are sampled and assessed through meticulous lab testing, both in-house and third-party, to ensure quality control. Once confirmed for quality, they are stored in a temperature and humidity controlled warehouse.
2. Impurity Removal:
To further uphold our commitment to quality, the dried mushrooms undergo hand-selection to eliminate impurities and foreign substances. Metal elements are systematically removed using advanced electromagnetic sorting machinery or magnetic bars.
3. Washing (applicable only to Turkey tail powder):
The raw dried mushrooms undergo thorough washing in a specialized herbal medicine washing machine to eradicate dust and other residual foreign materials.
4. Drying (applicable only to Turkey tail powder):
Following the wash, the mushrooms are dried in an electric oven at 85℃ for a period of 3-5 hours.
5. Coarse Grinding:
The dried mushrooms are then processed through a coarse crusher machine, reducing them to granular form. Post-granulation, electromagnetic sorting or magnetic bars are employed to remove any potential metal elements.
6. Fine Grinding:
The mushroom granules undergo further pulverization using a superfine pulverizer machine, producing a finely crushed powder.
7. Sterilization:
The mushroom powder is sterilized in a steam sterilization cabinet, with set temperatures, sterilization durations, and drying times varying based on the specific mushroom type.
8. Crushing:
Any agglomerated sterilized mushroom powder is further crushed utilizing a crusher machine.
9. Sieving:
The sterilized mushroom powder is passed through a vibrating sieve to eliminate any remaining foreign substances or particles.
10. Mixing:
The mushroom powders are thoroughly blended, or mixed with another batch of mushroom powder using a 3D motion mixer in preparation for packaging.
11. Metal Sorting:
Post-mixing, the mushroom powders are once again passed through a magnetic bar machine to ensure the removal of any residual metal foreign elements.
12. Internal Packaging:
The mushroom powders are accurately weighed and packaged into PE bags. All products undergo vacuum packaging before a final round of metal detection and sealing within aluminum foil bags.
13. Metal Detection:
The internally packaged products are scrutinized via a metal detector to maintain product safety and integrity.
14. External Packaging:
The final products are securely packaged into cartons or fiber drums for distribution.
15. Storage:
Our finished products are stored in a climate-controlled warehouse to maintain optimal quality.
16. Shipment:
Following outbound order confirmations, the products are carefully loaded onto clean, dry van type trucks for transportation to our valued customers.
