Amusca Insect Breeding Module

We understand that insect production is not your core business. That is why the production process is designed to operate anywhere with Amusca software and  monitoring, allowing you to concentrate on your core business.

For the installation of hardware, substrate selection, module start-up, quality control, maintenance and support the local Amusca partner will offer you all the support you need.

The breeding process is managed and monitored by our cloud based software system, which is connected to your modules via the Internet. The system generates information on the performance that is 24/7 monitored by Amusca staff.

The modules are designed for continuous production. However, if and when technical issues arise that need local attention, the software system will automatically forward messages to local Amusca partners and/or certified staff of corporate clients to deal with these issues. All in close cooperation with Amusca staff.

The software algorithm

The core of the system is the software algorithm. This centre piece of our technology is based on many years of experience with the breeding of insects. Once the algorithm is tailored to your local circumstances you profit from the experiences. Our experts use the information from to continiously improve the algorithm and the performance of each module.

Modular. Efficient. Engineered for Performance.

The Amusca Larvae Breeding Unit (LBU) is a fully integrated, modular system designed to produce large volumes of insect larvae—safely, efficiently, and with minimal labour. Below, we walk you through each component of the system and how they work together to deliver continuous, high-quality production.

Operating the Module

At the heart of the unit is our specialized fly cage, home to selected Musca domestica strains. From the fly cage, eggs are automatically collected in the egg-laying unit.  The LBU is the core of the production system. Here, the larvae hatch and grow under optimal conditions, transforming local substrates into insect biomass in just a few days. To maintain perfect growth temperatures, the unit uses energy-efficient heat pumps.  For incoming substrates and feedstock, the unit is equipped with two big bag unloaders. The mixer blends incoming feedstocks into a homogenous substrate that meets the nutritional requirements of the larvae. Once the substrate is mixed, it’s automatically transferred to the LBU via a dedicated screw conveyor—closing the loop between preparation and cultivation. Our upward screw conveyors transport materials between the main components. After the larvae reach harvest stage, the sieve installation separates larvae from remaining substrate and frass. Separated product streams are collected in two big bag stations.

Separation into two valuable products

Use GMP substrates to feed larvae and avoid waste products. Add a separation process to produce two valuable products for further processing. The first product is a 100% larvae product, the second stream is a mixture of Crude Fiber and 5% larvae. An excellent product for the poultry industry.

How to influence the end product

The composition  is influenced by genetic variation of the Amusca produced Musca Domestica fly strain and the feed composition. In this picture you see how certain feed components in the substrates influence the ultimate product. Tell us your wishes and the local available substrates and our consultants will give you tailor-made advice.
