Machines for insect farming
We develop highly efficient shredding machines for insect farming.
With our equipment, a wide variety of organic residues can be efficiently processed into feed for insect and larva farming:
- High throughput and high reliability for industrial insect farming
- Defined particle size: screens in the machines ensure that the feed has a defined particle size
- Robust and reliable stainless steel machines
A wide range of feed
Insects and larvae, such as black soldier fly larvae (BSF), mealworms, crickets or grasshoppers, are bred for the production of high-quality proteins and then added to pet food and fish feed as feed supplements.
For efficient fattening, insect larvae must be continuously fed with high-quality feed. It is particularly important to continuously produce a homogeneous and therefore easily digestible feed that can be safely consumed.
Our machines prepare the input material for feeding in insect fattening facilities in a homogeneous and energy-saving manner:
- Wet grinding of grain and by-products such as husks or sprouts
- Utilisation of organic residues from gardens, harvests and organic waste
- Processing of food from overproduction and faulty batches for insect feeding
- Production of pulp from grain, potato residues, etc.
- Robust and durable technology for continuous industrial use
- Particularly energy-efficient
- Flexible adjustment of particle size and particle distribution through the use of screens with variable hole sizes and adjustable rotor speed.
- Integrated sieves ensure precise particle size control and a homogeneous substrate
- High throughput rates of up to 25 tonnes per hour – ideal for the industrial production of insect feed
- These features make the machines the optimal solution for efficient, sustainable and high-quality feed production in the field of insect farming.
