Guyou 6 m³ Mushroom Substrate Mixer
Guyou sells an edible-mushroom material mixer under a 6.0 cubic-metre designation, shown with a catalogue photograph on its product page. The page stops there: no model code, volume definition, motor power, working batch, cycle time or installation drawing. Use the 6.0 m³ figure to shortlist the machine, then ask Guyou for a technical sheet before you compare prices or plan a line. Guyou's separate article on mixing principles covers several mixer types but does not say which one this unit is, so ask for the mechanism too.

Build my procurement briefWhat the product page gives you
The title and photograph tell you what Guyou offers: a substrate mixer in the 6.0 m³ class. Batch rating, output, mixing quality and power use are missing, and drive power, speed, weight or dimensions cannot be read from the photo. Ask Guyou for a dated technical sheet for this unit, then compare it with other mixers on equal terms.

Published specifications
Read each value with its stated conditions, and ask the manufacturer for any limit not listed here.
| Specification | Published value | Meaning / limit |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue name | Edible-mushroom material mixer, 6.0 cubic metres [1] | The product is sold under this descriptive name. Ask Guyou for its model code so the quotation and nameplate match. |
| Volume | 6.0 m³; definition not given [1] | The page leaves open whether this is vessel volume or usable working volume, and gives no fill limit. Get the working batch from Guyou in writing. |
| Material | Edible-mushroom substrate [1] | Named in the product title. Ask for the ingredient, particle-size and moisture limits the mixer is built to handle. |
Four questions about the 6.0 m³ rating
Start with the volume definition. Turning volume into kilograms also needs the bulk density of your substrate and the allowed fill level, and the product page gives neither. Our guide to mushroom production equipment walks through mixer batch and moisture questions that help you pin these figures down with Guyou.
| Ask Guyou | What the answer settles |
|---|---|
| Is 6.0 m³ vessel or working volume? | The rated-volume definition, backed by a drawing or technical sheet for this unit. |
| What batch and material does it take? | Working volume and mass limits for your substrate, with particle-size and moisture conditions. |
| How long is a full cycle, and what stays behind? | Loading, mixing and discharge times, plus how uniformity and leftover material are measured. |
| Where does it discharge, and how does it feed the next machine? | Outlet position, transfer method and the connection to your filling equipment. |

Mixer types in Guyou's article
In August 2026 Guyou published an article on how mixers work. It covers twin-screw, two-dimensional, vertical, drum and trough types. The article does not name the 6.0 m³ unit or say which of these designs it uses.
Ask Guyou which mechanism the 6.0 m³ mixer has, with its drive and the materials that touch the substrate, in a document for this model. Use the article for background on mixer types only. To compare this unit with mixers from other makers, our mushroom equipment page groups them in one place.
Documents to collect, then a material trial
Begin with a technical data request. Once Guyou proposes a real configuration and an agreed procedure, arrange a trial with your own substrate, supported by Guyou.
Identify the unit
Dated specification, commercial name, drawing, drive and control set-up, and the list of items supplied.
Set the material basis
Your substrate and batch requirement, Guyou's allowed conditions and the acceptance method.
Plan installation and cleaning
Footprint, mounting, electrical schedule, contact materials and cleaning and maintenance instructions.
Record the trial
Configuration, measured batch and time, sampling results, discharge and residue notes, and the support documents.

Buyer questions
Can the mixer handle six cubic metres in one batch?
The product page does not define the volume or the fill limit. Ask Guyou for the working volume and the conditions for your material. [1]
Is it stainless steel, and what type of mixer is it?
The product page does not say. Guyou's article describes several mixer types without naming this one. Ask for the material and construction schedule of the 6.0 m³ unit. [1] [2]
What hourly output or bag count can I expect?
That needs a working batch mass, a cycle time and your bag specification. Ask Guyou to give output for your configuration and confirm it in writing. [1]
