Tenebrio molitor is a species of Insecta, Coleoptera, Pseudocarpidae, and the genus Pseudomonas, commonly known as mealworms, which are the most ideal feed insects for artificial breeding. In addition to high crude protein and fat content, the larvae of Tenebrio molitor also contain a variety of carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, hormones, enzymes and minerals phosphorus, iron, potassium, sodium, calcium, etc., which have high nutritional value and can be directly used as feeding frogs. , turtles, scorpions, centipedes, ants, high-quality fish, ornamental birds, medicinal animals, precious fur animals and rare livestock and poultry, etc. live animal protein feed, and after processing can be used in food, health products, cosmetics and other industries, because of its protein Nutrient content ranks first among all kinds of live animal protein feeds.
Normally 3-4 kg fresh larvaes will be get 1 kg dry larvaes.Fresh tenebrio molitor moisture content is about 66%-75%, dry larvae moisture is about 9%.

Compared with conventional methods, microwave drying to treat insects has the advantages of greatly shortened processing time, easy control, good product quality, straight insects, high puffing degree, maintaining color and freshness, less loss of moisture and nutrients, low bacterial content, High processing efficiency, low cost, low energy consumption, small footprint, improved labor conditions and environmental sanitation, etc. Now Tenebrio molitor farming, fly maggot farming, black soldier fly farming, grasshopper farming, soil element farming, locust farming, cockroach farming, bean caterpillar farming, with the increasing number of insect farmers, most insects need to be dried , drying, the drying of live insects must be completed in a short time, and a longer drying time directly affects the quality of the finished insects, and it is easy to change color and turn black. Microwave Tenebrio molitor drying equipment has the function of instant heating and drying without preheating. Different from the traditional heating method (from the outside to the inside), the microwave is penetrating, and the principle of the heating method is different (from the inside to the outside), which can instantly heat the interior of the insect and directly kill the insect to achieve the puffing effect.
The pictures showing after drying tenebrio molitor.
Specifications of industrial tunnel oven microwave dry sterilization machine for Tenebrio molitor.
Microwave drying equipment adopts tunnel integrated design, PLC touch screen design, multiple parameter settings, PLC program control, touch screen operation, video monitoring at any time control Material status, can realize automatic control, simple and reliable operation, automatic feeding and discharging design, microwave energy can penetrate the inside and outside of the object to heat at the same time, no heat conduction is required, microwave heating speed is very fast, for materials with a water content below 30%, microwave The heating rate can be shortened hundreds of times.
