Delivering Results – Picking Speeds
The Gamechangers main function is to dramatically improve the picking speeds of existing pickers. These speeds will double or more within a reasonable time. We would expect a 25kg per hour picker to be doing 50kgs per hour within 2-3 weeks.

Delivering Results – Reliability
Picking mushrooms is a 365 days a year, 12+ hours a day operation, which usually starts very early in the morning. With this in mind, the reliability of the Gamechanger is everything. Over the past years we have been continuously working to improve functionality, useability and reliability. Reliability has been the top of our priority list.

Delivering Results – Stalk Trimming
Accurate stalk trimming can add significantly to increasing the crop yield. 1mm of stalk has a weight equivalent of around 1% of the weight of a mushroom. An increased stalk length of 5mm equates to an increase of 5% yield. Inaccurately cut stalks cost money.

Delivering Results – Vacuum Suction
The Gamechanger and Gamechanger Pro use suction to efficiently lift the mushrooms off the collector belt and transfer the mushrooms to the punnets, trays and boxes which are sitting on the weighing module. We can do this at low pressure on the Gamechanger because the mushroom has already been picked off the bed.

Delivering Results – Grazing The Crop
The Gamechangers are designed to help pickers graze the mushroom crop. We have found that grazing the crop is less common than we expected and there are several significant reasons why pickers don’t graze the crop. One of the best ways to improve yield and increase picking rates is to allow mushrooms to grow bigger and pick those big mushrooms first.
Some change their pinning strategies to get bigger mushrooms but this can adversely effect yield.
