Insect dry feeding
Dry feed is great for insects too
Some insects require a high proportion of dry matter in their feed. The dry feeding systems developed by TEWE are technically innovative with a high degree of automation, which makes work easier and enables precise feeding.
TEWE’s dry feeding systems consist of multiple main components:
- batch mixer
- weighing technology
- feed machine
- precise microdosing unit for automatic dispensing of precisely calculated batches at the filling station
- deflection corners
- control
TEWE supplements the mechanical technology with high-performance, integrated control technology that can be combined with a standardised PLC control system for robot and sequence processes. The technology meets all essential hygiene standards.
In conclusion
TEWE’s dry feeding systems are an innovative, durable and hygienic solution for insect breeding. Thanks to their high degree of automation, precise dosing and compliance with strict hygiene standards, they help make insect fattening more efficient and sustainable. These features and benefits make TEWE systems an ideal choice for professional insect breeders.
