Mushroom growing has gone through a transformative revolution, with mushroom growing enthusiasts and commercial growers increasingly turning to mushroom growing containers to exploit the full potential of their mushroom growing efforts.
Mushroom cultivation containers take the cultivation process to a new level of efficiency, yield and versatility. This is mainly due to the following factors:
Optimal environmental control
Year-round cultivation
High space efficiency
Easy predictability of the harvest
Reduced work intensity
Easy cleaning of the interior
Easy scalability
KUSTEC climate containers offer 3 further advantages:
Environmental friendliness KUSTEC climate containers only use refrigerants with low GWP, which have a low global warming potential and thus contribute to a reduction in CO² emissions.
Sustainability KUSTEC climate containers are second-life refrigerated containers that are upgraded to the perfect mushroom cultivation container. This upcycling saves valuable resources and reduces acquisition costs.
Industry-leading KUSTEC technology The proven KUSTEC technology has been used in many industries since 2006, for example in the automotive and energy industries.
Arrange a in 3441 Freundorf for the mushroom cultivation container Growy 40.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the Growy 40 Mushroom Grow Container
Technology & Control
What power connection does the container need? The Growy 40 requires a 32A 400V-50Hz-3Ph+N+PE connection.
Which climate parameters can I control? Our containers enable precise and fully automated control of all critical parameters. These include air temperature, increasing relative humidity, lighting and lowering CO₂ concentrations. This means that each parameter can be adapted exactly to the respective breeding phase.
What control and monitoring options are included? Each container is equipped with a modern control system. As standard, we offer remote access via smartphone or PC, detailed data logging for process optimization and adjustable alarm functions in the event of deviations. This means that you always have full control, even when you are not on site.
Why do you rely on the refrigerant R32? We use R32 because its excellent thermodynamic properties enable very high energy efficiency, which directly translates into lower electricity costs. It also has a significantly lower global warming potential (GWP) than older agents, making it a greener and future-proof choice.
Does the container meet the legal requirements (F-Gas Regulation)? Yes, the use of R32 offers you a high level of investment and legal security. With a GWP of 675, it is well below the limit value of the EU F-Gas Regulation. This means that you are currently not affected by impending service bans or massive price increases due to shortages.
How high is the energy consumption? The system is very energy efficient. It has a cooling capacity of 7.1 kW (SEER: 6.7), a heating capacity of 8 kW (SCOP: 4.7) and consumes an annual average of around 15 kWh per day at a location in Lower Austria.
Can the container also heat? Yes, the container has an integrated heating function with an output of 8 kW.
Application & Breeding
What mushrooms can I grow in the Growy 40? The container is ideal for a variety of noble mushrooms such as king oyster mushrooms, shiitake or oyster mushrooms. It can also be used for the production of mycelium or, with appropriate additional equipment, for the cultivation of microgreens.
Is the system designed for quick switching between different mushroom varieties? Absolutely. The technology is precisely designed to implement rapid and stable climate changes. This allows you to control the specific climate profiles of different varieties or the required "cold shocks" to initiate fruiting reliably and in a short time.
Are button mushrooms also possible? The container is less suitable for button mushroom cultivation, as they require a different type of ventilation and tend to develop an atypical consistency in closed systems.
How high are the expected returns? Yields vary depending on the type of mushroom and substrate. Detailed guide values can be found in our catalogue on page 5.
What is the daily workload? The effort depends heavily on the type of mushroom. Many processes are automated, so that work is usually concentrated on weekly cycles.
Setup & Installation
Where can the container be placed? Outdoors. It needs a suitable foundation as well as connections for electricity, water and sewage.
Which connections are needed exactly? You need: Electricity: 32A 400V-50Hz-3Ph+N+PE Water inlet: 1x RP 1/2" Duct drain: 1x DN 50
Do you offer start-up support? Yes, we offer post-installation training to ensure a smooth start.
Purchase & Service
Are there also smaller models? We can offer a 20-foot variant on request. However, this is priced at the same level as the 40-foot container, which results in a doubling of the payback period.
How long is the delivery time? The delivery time is usually about 15 weeks.
Are there financing or leasing options? Yes, we work with financing partners and are happy to assist you in contacting you for a leasing offer.
What maintenance is required? To guarantee the longevity and efficiency of the system, an annual maintenance service by qualified personnel is mandatory.
How should the container be cleaned after each breeding? Very easy: using a high-pressure cleaner.
What are the typical running costs? The running costs mainly include electricity, water, annual maintenance and the substrate.
Can I also get the shelves from you? We do not offer shelves ourselves, but we will be happy to recommend proven and suitable systems.
Financing
In addition to purchase on account, there are also leasing options for the Growy 40 through financing partners. If you are interested, we will be happy to help you get in touch.
