1

Removing impurities

Dirt and other particles are removed from the young larvae before they are transferred to the next area.

Inactivation

2

Larvae processing starts

Larvae is inactivated in an efficient way and with the highest regard for animal welfare.

Decontamination

3

Safety is key

Ensuring that the insect larvae are free from pathogens or other contaminants is a key step in order to achieve a safe and high-quality end product.

Oil separation

4

Efficient biomass processing

Larvae are partially defatted. A lipid fraction is obtained.

Oil purification

5

Ensuring product stability

Purification of the lipid fraction results in a high-quality product with good shelf life.

Insect lipids

Process and parameter control for top production reliability

World-class integrated control

Our automated system with data-driven technology allows a reliable control of operations and a continuous improvement of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). It also ensures product traceability throughout production.
