Anodized aluminium mushroom shelving from JF McKenna Ltd was initially designed to fulfil a need in the International Market for a high quality cost effective mushroom growing shelving system. Our shelving is available worldwide.

 

WHY ALUMINIUM?
Back when Phase 1 mushroom compost was filled, shelving was made from aluminium because of the corrosive nature of the compost.
With the introduction of Phase 2 & 3 composts galvanised shelving became popular because of the lower cost.

The corrosion resistance of some galvanised shelves was poor with the life expectancy around 10 – 15 years.
Quality galvanised mushroom shelving had become expensive so we decided to design a high quality aluminium mushroom shelving system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ADVANTAGES:
• High Corrosion Resistance
• Stays Bright And Shiny [Mushroom Growing Room Is Brighter]
• Easy To Assemble
• Transport Friendly [60-70% Saving Compared To Galvanised Shelving]
• Less Wear On Nets [Nets Cost 10% Of Shelves Cost]
• Easy To Clean
• High Resale Value [Lower Depreciation]
• More Cost Effective Than Galvanised Mushroom Shelves

 

 

Why Aluminium Mushroom Shelving
Aluminium mushroom shelving is normally supplied mill finished.
We have gone one step further and anodized the exposed parts: Sideboards, end boards and legs.
Anodizing is not necessary for corrosion resistance of the shelves and is done for cosmetic appearance only.

Our aluminium mushroom shelving is manufactured to a very high standard with no compromise on quality.
The manufacturing is carried out in a new factory commissioned in 2008.
Profile lengths are to 1 mm tolerances and wall thickness to 0.15 mm.

Three different grades of aluminium are used to maximise the strength of our shelves, give corrosion resistance and profile quality. All joining materials are certified quality stainless steel.
