Insect Protein (BSFL)

Insect Farming Equipment Package

Focused on BSF larvae rearing using Food Waste and Distiller's Spent Grains: complete rearing package from feedstock pretreatment, automated substrate dosing and climate-controlled rearing to high-efficiency frass screening.

Solution Overview

The Insect Farming Equipment Package is engineered specifically for commercial Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) production focused on Food Waste and Distiller’s Spent Grains (brewery / liquor grains) bioconversion.

This turnkey upstream solution bridges raw organic waste processing and larval harvesting, equipped with dedicated interactive process flow and material balance diagrams to guide plant design.

Core Engineering Modules

  • Food Waste Pretreatment System: Automated sorting, de-watering, crushing, de-greasing, and moisture/carbon-nitrogen ratio conditioning (target moisture 65–72{a8bbb5c2a8393dea97cbe9f4154381accecdf9ffb977569b7955fc6e6b23cd1a}).
  • Distiller’s Spent Grain Conditioning System: De-clumping, husk/bran blending, moisture tuning, and bio-fermentation for alcohol reduction.
  • Breeding & Nursery Chamber: Climate-controlled adult BSF egg-laying rooms, egg collection crates, and L5 young larvae nursery incubators.
  • Automated Rearing Hall: Automated tray dosing & feeding lines, vertical stacking towers, and PLC environmental control (28–30°C temp, 65–75{a8bbb5c2a8393dea97cbe9f4154381accecdf9ffb977569b7955fc6e6b23cd1a} RH, automated air exchange).
  • Frass Screening & Harvesting: Heavy-duty rotary and multi-tier vibrating screeners for 98{a8bbb5c2a8393dea97cbe9f4154381accecdf9ffb977569b7955fc6e6b23cd1a}+ separation efficiency of fresh larvae from BSF frass bio-fertilizer.
