Mealworm farm with high-pressure mist cooling!
Mealworm farms are faced when it comes to maintaining an optimal climate for mealworm development. Variations in humidity can severely affect the growth and health of mealworms, leading to inefficient production and possible loss of yield. To address these issues, we implemented high-pressure mist cooling at the Mertens Family mealworm farm.
Optimal climate control for mealworms
Thanks to the successful operation of the system on the upper floor, the lower floor and other stables will also begin to be equipped with the cooling system.
In this barn, the nozzles and pipe are mounted above the valves in order to cool the air flow entering through the valves. This results in cooling as much as 130,000 m³ of air per hour. An additional benefit is the reduced amount of dust particles in the air, contributing to a cleaner and healthier living environment for the chickens.
Advanced control
Control of the system is via a computer that translates the data from the sensors into readable values. This system offers the following advantages:
- Easy operation – The computer’s interface is user-friendly and easy to understand.
- Flexible adjustments – Each value can be manually adjusted to meet the specific needs of mealworms at each stage.
Application of technology
Mealworms have specific climatic requirements for each stage of their life cycle. Too low humidity can lead to dehydration and reduced growth, while too high humidity can cause mold growth and other health problems. Manually checking and adjusting humidity in four different rooms is not only time-consuming, but also inefficient. Therefore, there is a need for a reliable, automatic system that ensures that humidity is always kept at the optimal level.
Our technology allows mealworms to develop in the best possible climate. This results in efficient and sustainable production of mealworms that can be used for both human consumption and animal feed.
