Fjell Insect Processing Plants

Energy efficient drying for insect larvae

High Performance - Long-lasting durability

Fjell Insect Processing plants - for Insect larvae

We offer end-to-end solutions, including

  • state-of-the-art screw cookers for hygenisation of the larvae pulp and for release of fat depots for later oil extraction
  • a range of dryers from our technology portfolio that are well suited for drying up larvae from insect production.

Fjell has 45 years of experience in full/part drying and utilization of residual raw materials as a supplier of processing equipment and complete facilities for the production of fishmeal and fish oil. We design well functioning fully automated processing lines to produce oil and high-quality meal & oil from insect larvae.

Energy saving optimizations

Explore our test facilities

We drive innovation and growth to enable optimal utilisation of residual raw materials while minimising the energy consumption. Our test facilities has demonstrated drying of various materials at a range of conditions, also vacuum conditions to lower temperature, thereby maintaining protein or nitrogen and other valuable nutrients and components for further use.
