Abstract: The invention relates to a device for use in large-scale industrial insect farming. More in particular, the invention relates to a live insect larvae transport device (1, 100) for transporting live insects from a first location to a predetermined second location, the live insects transport device comprising a fluid guiding unit (12, 112, 112'), a fluid discharge member (20, 20', 114', 114", 114'") and a feeder arrangement (127), wherein the live insects transport device is configured to receive live insects such as freshly hatched neonate larvae, for example of black soldier fly, wherein the live insects are taken up in a laminar flow of fluid and while in said fluid are transported to a predetermined location in the live insects transport device. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the device in industrial insect farming, such as large-scale farming of black soldier flies, and the invention relates to a method of dosing live insects, wherein preferably live insects are dosed which are essentially of the same age, such as freshly hatched neonate larvae.

Abstract: The invention relates to a climate control device (100, 100a, 1000, 1000a) 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 (113, 113a-113d), 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 (101) providing temperature conditioned air and absolute air humidity conditioned air to each of a number of local air conditioning devices (106), 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. This way, insects in cages housed in farming rooms are farmed under improved conditions with regard to minimized cage-to-cage temperature differences and differences in relative air humidity, due to the use of the climate control device of the invention.

Abstract: A cyclone separation system (1) for separating live insects, comprising a discharge nozzle (5) having a discharge end (7) comprising a discharge channel (8) for discharging live insects from the cyclone separation system (1) when in use. The discharge channel (8) comprises primary air injection channels (11) arranged to provide an injected upstream air flow (F) in an upstream direction (U) back into the discharge nozzle (5) for stopping discharge of live insects. The discharge nozzle (5) comprises an inner wall part (12) extending between an intake end (6) of the discharge nozzle (5) and the discharge channel (8), wherein the inner wall part (12) comprises elongated secondary air injection channels (13) extending from the discharge channel (8) in the upstream direction (U), wherein the secondary air injection channels (13) are arranged to provide an injected lateral air flow (V) along the inner wall part (12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for use in large-scale industrial insect farming. More in particular, the invention relates to an insects transport device (1, 100) for transporting live insects from a first location to a predetermined second location, the insects transport device comprising a gas guiding unit (12, 112, 112'), a gas discharge member (20, 20') and a feeder arrangement (127), wherein the insects transport device is configured to receive live insects such as freshly hatched neonate larvae, for example of black soldier fly, or mites, wherein the live insects are directly taken up in a laminar flow of gas after exiting the feeder arrangement in a free fall under influence of gravitation such that the live insects do not contact any surface of the insects transport device, and while in said gas are transported to a predetermined location in the insects transport device. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the device in industrial insect farming, such as large-scale farming of black soldier flies or mites. The invention also relates to a method of dosing a pre-selected number of live insects, wherein for example live insects are dosed which are essentially of the same age (e.g. within an age difference of 1 second – 1 minute), such as freshly hatched neonate larvae. In addition, the invention relates to a single dose of a pre-selected and determined number of neonate larvae obtained with the method, wherein larvae have a seconds to at most a few minutes larvae-to-larvae age difference within the single dose.

Abstract: A cyclone separation system (1K) for separating live insects carried by an air stream, comprising a main cyclone chamber (2K) having a top chamber part (3K) and a conical shaped bottom chamber part (4K). The top chamber part (3K) is connected to one or more intake channels (5K) each of which is arranged for connection to a primary air source providing an air stream (AK) comprising live insects. The bottom chamber part (4K) is connected to a discharge nozzle (6K) comprising a discharge end (7K) having a main discharge conduit (8K) for discharging the live insects from the cyclone separation system (1K), wherein the discharge end (7K) comprises an air injection member (10K) for connection to a secondary air source and wherein the air injection member (10K) is configured to inject air back into the discharge nozzle (6K).
