20250127150 · 2025-04-24 · ·

The present invention relates to an unmanned insect breeding system. The unmanned insect breeding system includes a feed tank configured to store a feed for insects, an insect farm in which box stacks in which a plurality of boxes containing insects are vertically stacked are arranged in m rows and n columns, an automatic feeding device configured to supply the feed in the feed tank to the boxes, an insect sorting device disposed at one side of the insect farm and including a sorter configured to sort the insects, a guide rail installed in front of the insect farm and extending in a width direction of the insect farm, a box transfer robot which moves forward and rearward on the guide rail and loads and unloads the box stack, and a control unit configured to control driving of the box transfer robot.

Installation for producing and collecting newly-hatched larvae

An installation for producing and collecting newly-hatched larvae comprises cages equipped with at least one collector of insect eggs, a transfer line for transferring the larvae from the collectors to a conveyor, and equipment for concentrating the newly-hatched larvae. It also comprises: a collection of modules grouping together a plurality of egg collectors, the modules being open at their bottom; the modules being mobile between a point of loading and the transfer line; the transfer line being open to receive the modules at the top, and at the bottom having a guide system with divergent walls, which at its top has a width tailored to the cross section of the modules and at its bottom has an opening tailored to the dimensions of a conveyor, the guide system being configured to group together the newly-hatched larvae falling from the collectors onto the upper surface of the conveyor.

Fly cage module with conveyor belt

An apparatus, arrangement and method for producing insect eggs. The apparatus includes a container to accommodate insects in a container interior and prevent the insects from escaping; at least one egg-laying apparatus is arranged in the container and is configured to accommodate insect eggs laid in the container by the insects in the container; and at least one attractant arranged in an area of the at least one egg-laying apparatus that emits stimulants to lure the insects to the at least one egg-laying apparatus to lay the insect eggs. The at least one egg-laying apparatus is at least partially removable from the container, the at least one attractant is spatially separated from the at least one egg-laying apparatus and is separated from the container interior, and wherein the stimulants emitted by the attractant pass through the at least one egg-laying apparatus into the container interior.

Package for pre-dosed units for insect farming

A package, method and arrangement for insect farming. The package is filled with a predetermined quantity of insects, and includes a package body; and a package closure configured to close the package body to prevent the insects from escaping from the package. The closed package body is configured to open at least partially under at least one of: at least one predetermined environmental condition, or in an event of consumption by the insects in the package body in order to release the insects.

Apparatus and method for growing arthropods, plant including said apparatus

An apparatus for growing arthropods including a case where a plurality of cells are housed. Each cell includes a hollow body defining a compartment configured for containing a substrate for supporting arthropods. Each cell, in an engagement condition with the case, rotates with respect to the case for mixing the substrate.
