Mealworm Beetle Sorting Machine & Color Sorter Unit

Shuliy mealworm beetle sorting machine & color sorter unit can effectively perform manure screening, dehusking, dust removal, grading, and removal of dead insects and debris simultaneously. The capacity is a maximum of 700kg/h. After processing, the clean insect pupae can reach a purity of up to 99.9%.

This set of mealworm separating machines significantly enhances breeding efficiency and reduces labor costs. It is a highly efficient sorting device designed specifically for mealworm breeding farms and processing enterprises.

The entire set of equipment mainly consists of three parts: the main mealworm separator(the first dorting), the screening machine(the secondary sorting), and the color sorter(the third color sorting), which can be flexibly selected according to needs.

One-stop solution: yellow mealworm beetle sorting machine combination

This set of equipment is not simply a collection of machines, but a precisely designed automated assembly line. It consists of mealworm separator→screening machine→color sorter. These three devices work together to simplify the cumbersome sorting process in industrialized production with the push of a button.

Machine 1: worm larvae sorting machine

It’s the main machine in this mealworm combination sorting machine. Raw material mealworms first enter the main unit, where a series of efficient processing steps are carried out simultaneously:

This mealworm beetle sorting machine combines what used to require 5-6 separate processes into one, achieving a huge leap in efficiency.

More importantly, both the airflow and conveyor belt speed are adjustable, allowing it to perfectly adapt to mealworms at different growth stages and with different moisture levels, ensuring optimal sorting results.

Machine 2: screening machine

The “pupa/dead insect mixture” initially sorted by the main machine is not discarded directly, but instead conveyed via a conveyor belt into the separator. The separator serves as both a “quality inspector” and a “dispatcher”:

The existence of the divider greatly optimizes the entire workflow. It avoids waste of live insects, prevents cross-contamination.

Also, this screening machine provides perfect pre-processing for the color sorter, ensuring higher purity of materials entering the final sorting stage and allowing the color sorter to focus on the most delicate tasks.

Machine 3: color sorter

This is a critical step in determining the final quality of mealworms. When the mixture of pupae and dead insects enters the color sorter, high-precision optical sensing technology comes into play:

After processing, you will obtain clean insect pupae with a purity of up to 99.9% and completely separated dead insects.

After using Shuliy mealworm beetle sorting machine unit, your finished product can be directly used in high-end markets with extremely stringent purity requirements, such as:

• High-end pet food
• Pharmaceutical raw material extraction

You can achieve brand premiums far exceeding those of your competitors.

Flexible investment plan for mealworm larvae screening

We understand that businesses of different sizes are at different stages of development, with varying investment budgets and core needs. Therefore, we offer two flexible investment plans to align with your business growth pace.

Plan A: main machine+secondary sorting machine

Target audience

Farms are in a rapid growth phase, and their primary objectives are to replace manual labor, significantly increase production capacity, and reduce operational costs.

Achieved results

This mealworm beetle sorting machine combination can solve more than 80% of sorting problems. It can complete all physical sorting and size grading, providing you with well-sorted healthy live insects and a mixture of pupae and dead insects that are ready for selection.

It’s the most cost-effective choice for achieving automation and breaking through production bottlenecks.

Plan B: complete mealworm beetle sorting machine+color sorter

Target audience

Leading enterprises are targeting high-end domestic and international markets with stringent purity requirements and aiming to establish a strong brand barrier.

Achieved results

It achieves full process automation from raw material input to ultra-pure finished product output, maximizing product value. Your products will establish an absolute competitive advantage in the market with unmatched purity.
