    摘要: A continuous sieving apparatus is described. The continuous sieving apparatus includes an inclined sieve surface attached to a wall. The inclined sieve surface is inclined with respect to a horizontal axis for pupae to continuously flow across down the incline. A set of openings is formed in the sieve surface so as to define a set of pathways extending through the sieve surface. The set of opening are defined by a length dimension that is greater than a width dimension. When the inclined sieve surface is submerged in a liquid, a first pupa having a first cephalothorax width that is less than the width dimension is free to move through any one of the set of openings, and a second pupa having a second cephalothorax width that is greater than the width dimension is prevented from moving through the set of openings.

    摘要: A continuous sieving apparatus (2) is described. The continuous sieving apparatus (2) includes an inclined sieve surface (22) attached to a wall (48). The inclined sieve surface (22) is inclined with respect to a horizontal axis for pupae to continuously flow across down the incline. A set of openings (62) is formed in the sieve surface (22) so as to define a set of pathways extending through the sieve surface. The set of opening (62) are defined by a length dimension (72) that is greater than a width dimension (70). When the inclined sieve surface (22) is submerged in a liquid, a first pupa (90a) having a first cephalothorax width (91) that is less than the width dimension (70) is free to move through any one of the set of openings, and a second pupa (90b) having a second cephalothorax width (91) that is greater than the width dimension (70) is prevented from moving through the set of openings (62).

    摘要: An automated insect rearing system comprises:
    a food dispensing station having a horizontal surface and configured to receive a rearing container having a population of insects disposed within from an insect dispensing station having a horizontal surface;
    a food dispenser comprising a food container and a food dispensing vessel, a first end of the food dispensing vessel coupled to a second orifice defined in the food container and a second end of the food dispensing vessel movable to be proximate to the horizontal surface to dispense food from the food container to the received rearing container at the horizontal surface;
    a storage unit comprising one or more shelves to store one or more rearing containers; and
    a transportation unit positioned and configured to transport rearing containers from the food dispenser to the storage unit.
    For re-filling the rearing containers, a computing device in communication with the dispensing unit determine a quantity of food based on sensor signals obtained from a monitoring unit.
