    Introduce Tenebrio molitor screening unit to India

    An Indian mealworm farm has introduced a high-efficiency Tenebrio molitor screening unit that performs manure screening, peeling, dust removal, pupa and dead insect separation, and size grading of the insects in a single process.

    Introduce Tenebrio molitor screening unit to India

    We are thrilled to share the successful export of our Tenebrio molitor screening unit to India in 2025! After using our mealworm sorting and color-sorting unit, the screening quality of mealworms has improved, with efficiency increasing by 40%.

    Customer background & purchase demands

    This Indian client operates a stable Tenebrio molitor (mealworm) farm with high daily production volumes. As output increased, traditional manual sorting could no longer meet efficiency and quality demands. The client sought professional screening equipment capable of automated grading with minimal labor involvement.

    During discussions, the client articulated three core requirements about the Tenebrio molitor screening unit:

    • Simultaneous completion of manure screening, husk removal, and grading
    • Effective separation of pupae and dead insects to ensure adult quality
    • Stable equipment operation suitable for long-term continuous use

    Mealworm machine recommendation for Indian Tenebrio molitor farm

    Addressing these needs, we recommended the Mealworm Screening Unit (Main Unit + Secondary Screening Module).

    Main unit specifications

    • Power supply: 220V 50Hz
    • Power consumption: 2.85kW
    • Dimensions: 190 × 78 × 129cm
    • Weight: 285kg

    The equipment can simultaneously perform manure screening, skin removal, dust removal, pupae and dead insect screening, and separate insects into large, medium, and small sizes.

    Secondary screening unit

    • Power Supply: 220V 50Hz
    • Power: 0.46kW
    • Dimensions: 250 × 80 × 139cm
    • Weight: 124kg

    This unit performs secondary sorting to further refine insect grading, producing cleaner, more uniformly sized adult insects for easier subsequent sales and processing.

    Delivery & feedback about Tenebrio molitor screening unit

    For safe transportation, we package the machine in wooden crates to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

    After receiving and putting the machine into operation, the customer reported:

    “Screening efficiency has significantly improved, and labor requirements have been drastically reduced. What previously required 3-4 workers can now be handled by a single set of equipment.”
