InsectoCage - Black soldier fly reproduction simplified
InsectoCage
With the InsectoCage, black soldier fly (BSF) reproduction reaches new heights of efficiency and simplicity. Our integrated solution provides optimal larval growth and maximizes mating efficiencies, resulting in consistent, high-quality egg production with minimal effort.
Operating the InsectoCage is easy, the process consists of three tasks per week: harvesting eggs in under a minute, swapping crates, and removing dead flies in less than ten minutes. This streamlined approach ensures a steady egg supply and creates optimal mating conditions, leading to stable, efficient, and cost-effective production. With the InsectoCage, the future of BSF reproduction is here.
Core capabilities
Three step process
Operating a successful insect farming operation hinges on efficiency and simplicity. That's precisely what the InsectoCage delivers by eliminating, simplifying, and automating processes to minimize labor and maximize output.
Individually climatized dark cages
Each dark cage is equipped with sensors that measure temperature and humidity, allowing our software to determine the specific growth stage of the larvae and adjust the environment accordingly.
Continuous production
Our process design enables continuous production for up to 6 months, ensuring a consistent and reliable output with an uptime of more than 95%.
Simple harvesting
The egg-collector rail design allows for effortless and rapid harvesting of the eggs deposited in the egg-collectors, making the process simple and streamlined. Allowing daily harvesting to be completed in less than a minute.
Optimized light cage design
The light cage is divided into zones tailored for mating, resting, and egg-laying, enhancing fly behaviors and performance.

Software
Options
Dashboard
We understand the importance of being able to monitor your breeding facility in real-time, no matter where you are located. That's why we have designed our InsectoCage to be connected to an online dashboard. This feature ensures that you can stay on top of your breeding progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results.
Heated floor
Depending on the type of building and the local climate we can recommend the installation of a heated floor. This will maximize the mating succes.
Over-the-air updates
We are constantly improving our growth recipes to ensure optimal results for our customers. Our over-the-air (OTA) updates allow us to share these advancements immediately with our customers, even when the systems are already installed. This ensures that our customers are always getting the best performance from their InsectoCage.
Building in building
The InsectoCage is made from sandwich panels, which can be integrated into the building for maximum insulation efficiency.
“Building one cage is straightforward, but creating a facility is complex. We understand this and offer assistance on all aspects; from HVAC integration to SOP refinement”
Jesse Turkstra, Head of Engineering
