How to select a suitable mealworm larvae sifter?
| Requirements | Recommended model |
| Beginners with limited budget | 5th mealworm separator |
| Small-scale farming (100–300kg/day) | 5th mealworm separator |
| Medium-to-large-scale farming (300–700kg/day) | 10th mealworm separator |
If you prioritize efficiency, high automation, minimal labor, and superior cleanliness, the 10th mealworm separating machine is the optimal choice.
For basic screening needs, the 5th Generation machine suffices.
