Introduction

A complete Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) processing system encompasses the entire post-harvest handling and conversion train from live larvae collection at the rearing facility through to final dried protein meal and separated lipid co-products ready for weighing, packaging, and distribution. This processing chain involves multiple unit operations, live larvae separation and grading, mechanical pre-dewatering, thermal blanching, hydraulic or mechanical lipid pre-extraction, thermal drying, particle size reduction, and product quality testing each of which must be designed and integrated as a cohesive process system rather than a collection of independent machines. Kerone Engineering Solutions designs complete BSFL processing systems as integrated engineering solutions, applying its thermal processing expertise and food-grade equipment manufacturing capability to every stage of the processing chain. The result is a processing facility capable of converting live BSFL biomass into standardised, specification-compliant dried protein and lipid products with the operational reliability and quality consistency that commercial feed and food ingredient markets demand.

Why Choose Kerone BSFL Processing Systems

Kerone’s strength in BSFL processing systems lies in its ability to engineer the complete processing chain from a single source, eliminating the integration risks that arise when operators assemble their processing lines from multiple specialist equipment suppliers without a coordinating process engineer accountable for the system’s overall performance. Each stage of our BSF Larvae processing system is designed with knowledge of what the previous and subsequent stages require, the pre-press lipid extraction is designed to optimise the feed condition for the downstream dryer; the dryer discharge condition is specified to match the input requirements of the milling system; the milling system particle size output is matched to the sieve specifications of the downstream packaging system. This systems-level engineering perspective produces processing plants that work reliably as a whole, rather than individual high-performance stages that create bottlenecks or quality problems at their interfaces.

Types and Features of BSFL Processing Systems

Kerone’s BSFL processing system configurations range from compact integrated lines suitable for medium-scale farms (1–5 tonnes live larvae per day) to high-capacity modular installations for industrial-scale BSFL production facilities (20+ tonnes live larvae per day). Each system configuration incorporates the core processing stages: live larvae separation from frass substrate, optional pre-concentration by gravity drainage or mechanical separation, thermal blanching or steam treatment for pathogen pre-reduction, mechanical pressing for lipid separation, continuous belt drying to specification moisture, product cooling, and size reduction to meal or powder particle size.

Key Features

  • Integrated processing system design from live larvae separation through to packaged meal and lipid, with single-source engineering responsibility for overall process performance
  • Scalable modular architecture enabling processing capacity to be expanded in defined increments as BSFL farm production volumes grow, protecting initial infrastructure investment
  • Continuous flow design with buffer storage between process stages to absorb throughput variation from biological variability in larval size and collection schedules
  • Combined protein and lipid product streams maximising commercial value extraction from BSFL biomass, dried protein meal and BSFL lipid oil as independently marketable co-products
  • PLC-based integrated control system with SCADA monitoring covering all stages of the processing line, providing real-time throughput, quality monitoring, and alarm management from a single operator interface
  • Complete documentation package including process flow diagrams, P&IDs, equipment datasheets, HAZOP assessments, and regulatory compliance documentation for animal feed processing facility authorisation
  • Hygienic zoning design separating raw material (live larvae) handling areas from dried protein product areas to prevent cross-contamination in compliance with processed animal protein manufacturing regulations
  • Frass co-processing capability with separate thermal drying and handling systems for BSFL frass substrate to produce a stable organic fertiliser co-product from the complete BSFL farm output

Applications of BSFL Processing Systems

Kerone’s BSFL Processing Systems are extensively used across insect farming, circular economy biorefinery, and sustainable protein ingredient manufacturing sectors. Typical applications include:
    • Commercial-scale BSFL protein meal and lipid production facilities supplying aquafeed, poultry feed, pet food, and companion animal nutrition ingredient markets at defined specification grades
    • Organic waste bioconversion plants where BSFL are used to valorise food waste, market waste, or agricultural residues with the BSFL processing system capturing the full commercial value of the protein and lipid co-products
    • Integrated circular economy facilities co-located with food processing or brewing operations, processing on-site organic waste through BSFL and returning dried protein and frass fertiliser to commercial channels
    • Export-oriented insect protein manufacturers requiring certified EU-compliant processed animal protein (PAP) documentation and processing facility authorisation from veterinary authorities
    • Investment-backed scale-up insect farming ventures requiring a professionally engineered, fully documented, and performance-guaranteed processing facility to support commercial investor due diligence
    • Demonstration and pilot-scale BSFL processing facilities for governmental food security projects, agricultural development agencies, or university research programmes in sustainable protein production
A complete BSFL processing system from Kerone Engineering Solutions represents an investment in the industrial-grade infrastructure that transforms an insect farming operation from a biological production unit into a commercially credible protein ingredient business.
