Bühler的昆虫技术中心支持动物饲料，食品行业

布勒集团officially opened its昆虫技术中心（ITC）在瑞士的乌兹维尔。

The facility will allow Bühler and its customers can conduct larvae growth trials with various feedstock, develop product samples, evaluate breed solutions, and run trainings.

ITC由于对更可持续的食品体系的贡献而从瑞士联邦环境办公室（Foen）获得资金，已经在运作。

In December, Bühler announced it was partnering with French insect producerAgronutris建造它的第一个商业规模的黑色士兵飞厂在法国Rethel。

布勒昆虫技术负责人安德烈亚斯·鲍曼（Andreas Baumann）说，乌兹维尔昆虫技术中心的开放是一个主要的里程碑。

鲍曼说：“在过去的几年中，我们已经获得了专业知识和成熟度，以最适当，最可靠的解决方案为昆虫行业的不同客户提供服务。”

"With our new facility, we extend our services and can even better support our customers in installing an industrial insect plant."

Insect Technology Center hosts growth chambers

在中心的核心，有两个昆虫生长室可以模仿工业生产条件。

这些室具有复杂的气候控制系统，并配备了许多传感器，可提供宝贵的流程见解。

根据收集的数据，可以确定正确的参数和实践，以最终确保在工业规模上有效产生昆虫。

在美国国际贸易委员会,可以使用两个莫st relevant insect species for industrial production, namely black soldier flies and mealworms.

鲍曼解释说：“一家想要建造工业昆虫厂的公司需要涵盖几个操作方面。”

"It includes finding the correct feedstock to rear the larvae, making sure that there is a strong and suitable insect strain to grow, defining suitable climate settings in relation to the larvae growth cycle, or getting emission data required for the permitting process.".

除了提供给客户的服务外，Bühler的团队还将进行自己的测试，从而不断改善昆虫市场的技术和服务。

加速昆虫植物项目

该公司表示，ITC的目的是加速大型昆虫厂倡议。

By using the new test facility, customers might not need to invest into expensive pilot plants to demonstrate technological feasibility.

看到行动中的工业昆虫技术使其有形，这使客户可以直接设想具有商业吸引人的植物尺寸。

由于昆虫生长室是流动的，因此可以将其发送到任何位置，从而使全球客户可以访问基础设施。

“In combination with the operational know-how exchange, we see enormous potential to reduce the overall time from the project idea to a successfully performing plant,” said Baumann.

为循环经济做出贡献

布勒说，它致力于雄心勃勃的目标，这些目标将有助于缓解气候变化并建立更可持续的食品体系。

Insects are a healthy and sustainable source of protein for food and feed. In addition, their frass can be used as a fertilizer, contributing to a circular economy model of production.

预计2030年的昆虫饲料蛋白市场将达到50万吨。

By then, the pet food sector is projected to take 30% and aquaculture 40% of the total insect protein volumes.

鲍曼说：“我们致力于支持该行业发挥其全部潜力。”

"Over the last years we have gained maturity and built the skills for helping the industry to further develop. With proven technologies in our portfolio, we are ready to enable our customers in bringing insect-based products to the market."
