Effective Solution for Producing Oil and High-Protein Feed Component from Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL)
Our production line provides the optimal balance between productivity and preservation of the nutritional value of the end products.
Main Advantages of the Line
Our technological line is designed to address the key challenges in BSFL processing:
- Controlled Temperature Regime: Heats the raw material and stably maintains its temperature within 55-65°C, which is critically important for preserving protein quality.
- High Pressing Efficiency: Ensures maximum oil yield and maintains the residual oil content in the press cake at 9-10%.
How it Works: Processing Stages
1. Preliminary Preparation and Feeding
Dried Black Soldier Fly larvae with 8% moisture are loaded into the HSF-110 heated feeder hopper. In the feeder, the raw material moves along an inclined pipe with the help of a screw. An external steam “jacket” evenly heats the larvae before sending them to the press.
- Time Adjustment: The residence time of the raw material in the feeder is set between 1.5 and 3 minutes by adjusting the screw rotation speed via the control panel.
- Precise Dosing: In addition to heating, the feeder accurately doses the raw material into the oil press.
2. Oil Pressing
The heated larvae enter the OP-500H oil press with automatic temperature control. In the press’s cage chamber, the material is compressed between the chamber walls and the screw system on the shaft. Due to the gradual reduction of the chamber’s internal volume, the oil is efficiently separated.
- The oil passes through special gaps between the cage bars and is collected in a tray for further purification.
- The press cake (high-protein component) with a residual oil content of 9-10% exits through an adjustable cone assembly.
3. Unique Temperature Control System
Our press is equipped with a unique system to maintain the set pressing temperature:
- External Heating: Electric heating elements automatically maintain the temperature of the cage chamber.
- Internal Control: Steam is supplied through the hollow shaft of the press for additional heating, or running water is used to cool the screws.
This technology enables controlled cold pressing at 55-65°C, which is crucial for preserving the nutritional properties of the protein in the press cake.
4. Final Product Processing
- Press Cake: After exiting the press, the press cake passes through a crusher, then proceeds to cooling and packaging.
- Oil: The collected oil is sent for purification from solid impurities and storage.
Line Configuration
- HSF-110 heated feeder.
- OP-500H oil press with heating and cooling units.

LAYOUT SOLUTIONS
Our equipment meets your space
ENVISION & PREDICT
Making a layout ahead of time helps you picture the project. It also gives you a clear idea of what is needed for construction, where equipment will go, how much energy will be used, and how materials will move through the facility.
It helps answer these questions:
- if your premises, territory, access roads and power substation are suitable for the implementation of the project;
- what is the project budget.
LAYOUT SOLUTION - WHAT IS IT?
Includes:
- our specialist’s visit to your site;
- measuring the premises;
- coordinating your vision, capabilities and resources;
- making a draft of the technological line – for the conditions of your site;
- preparing a specification of the necessary equipment – for your conditions.

Technology for Processing Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL)
The world’s population is steadily growing, and with it, the demand for food products. By 2050, the global population is projected to exceed 9.7 billion. The growing interest in a healthy lifestyle is driving demand for protein-rich diets, with protein demand expected to double by 2050. While animal protein still dominates, it faces sustainability challenges. Alternative proteins, especially those derived from insects, could supply 10–25% of global protein consumption by 2035.
How to sell soybean processing equipment in Latin America
South America is the global epicenter of the soybean industry. Today, Brazil and Argentina grow three times more soybeans than the United States. In order to enter this market with processing equipment and gain a foothold in it, the manufacturer must first prove its quality and reliability in practice under conditions of intensive loads. Competition in this region is high, so buyers choose suppliers very carefully.
