BSF breeding Box

A modular micro-unit for protein production and on-farm biowaste recovery.

BSF breeding Box
Concept render / drawing — prototype validation required

InsectoBox — the three elements

InsectoBox aviaries, collection trays, nurseries and bioconversion trays

Three Box levels

A 1000 × 1000 × 1000 mm Box includes a breeding area, a four-tray nursery/bioconversion area and a collection area. Up to three stacked Boxes are planned, reaching 3000 mm. Concept plan: dimensions and stacking require validation before fabrication.

Dimensions, materials and assembly

The supplied drawing specifies a galvanised-steel frame and four castors. Assembly, stability, connections and tray access require prototype validation before installation.

Maintenance and planned capacity

Substrate preparation and monitoring, temperature and humidity checks, larvae harvesting, liquid management and tray cleaning are part of the cycle. Offer benchmarks are subject to a diagnosis and trials with your materials.

A complete, measurable system

The Box is presented as a complete, measurable system, not just a container: input substrate, breeding conditions, larvae harvesting, product quality and economic benefit for the farmer. AI-managed microclimates.

Offer and questions

€2,999

Quoted pack price; availability, taxes, delivery and terms to be confirmed by quotation. Capacity and payback are indicative, subject to diagnosis and trial validation.

It is too expensive.

The €2,999 price includes the module, strain, training, startup consumables, warranty and 12 months of support. With 200 kg of biowaste processed per month and recovery of larvae and frass, indicative payback is 16 to 30 months. Some collection costs may also be reduced.

I do not have time to manage it.

The turnkey pack includes initial training, follow-ups at day 30 and day 90, 12 months of support and a simple dashboard. The aim is to limit operating time after startup.

I do not know whether it will work here.

Results depend on biowaste, temperature and monitoring. We start with a diagnosis and cautious benchmarks: 40 kg per week as a baseline commitment, up to 200 kg per month. We do not promise industrial yields; we aim for a realistic, measurable solution.

I can already compost.

Composting is an excellent solution, but it is slower and does not produce usable larvae. Insecto-Box accelerates bioconversion, reduces volume and generates two outputs: larvae and frass/compost. It is also a clearer demonstration tool.

I worry about odours, flies or hygiene.

Insecto-Box is designed as a closed, controlled module with liquid management, ventilation and a hygiene protocol. Rapid organic matter conversion helps limit bacterial development and odours when the process is properly managed.

I am unsure about regulations.

Caution is appropriate. The pack includes a first-level compliance guide and help identifying permitted uses for your biowaste, territory and intended larvae or frass use. Uses must be checked; the aim is to make the project safer.
