  • Publication number: 20220346358
    Abstract: The invention relates to a climate control device for controlling the temperature and humidity of air supplied to colonies of insects cultured in an industrial scale insect farm. In particular, the invention relates to a controllable air conditioning system comprising a network of pipes connecting at least one cluster comprising at least one insect farming cage, such that air is conditionable in the cages at the cluster level. More specifically, the invention relates to a system comprising a central main air conditioning facility providing temperature conditioned air and absolute air humidity conditioned air to each of a number of local air conditioning devices, each separate local air conditioning device providing temperature conditioned air and absolute air humidity conditioned air to each of a plethora of clusters of insect breeding cages separately, said cages housed in an temperature conditioned farming room.

  • Publication number: 20210000090
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tray for use in large-scale industrial insect farming. More in particular, the invention relates to a live insects tray for incubating insects prepupae and pupae, the tray having a space limited by walls, for housing insect prepupae and pupae, wherein the walls are impenetrable by an insect, and that at least one of the walls is at least partly permeable for gases, such as the top wall. Furthermore, the invention relates to a rack for holding at least one tray and relates to an assembly having said rack and at least one of said trays. The invention also relates to the use of said rack with at least one tray or said assembly for incubating insect prepupae. In addition the invention relates to a method for incubating insect prepupae and/or insect pupae, preferably of black soldier fly.
