To replace the rubber wood sawdust that has a higher price. For reduce the production cost of materials and labor. By build the screw press machine to produce mushrooms cultivation bagging long from shredded branch, consists of 7 main parts: 1) base structure, 2) screw press pipe, 3) screw press shaft, 4) screw press cylinder set, 5) hopper, 6) power set and 7) operation control system. Then test the prototype with shredded branches and rubber wood sawdust. The results showed that the capacity of bagging long was 213.84 and 203.96 bag h-1, respectively. And the capacity of bagging short was 310.13 and 302.03 bag h-1, respectively. The prototype has a working efficiency of more than 80%. Tested the mushrooms cultivation, showed that the productivity the mushroom of bagging long gave higher than bagging short. The cost of mushroom cultivation from shredded branch has been reduced by more than 10% compared to rubber wood sawdust. The prototype cost about 75,000 baht, which has a breakeven point of using at 13,993 bags.
