One of the automated 'sieving' alternatives is the Royal Dutch Kusters Rotoshifter. [![Read Beta Buzz Issue 1](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/3834998/7a673903-fe34-4f32-ad85-c77f50341ce3.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/3834998/7a673903-fe34-4f32-ad85-c77f50341ce3) The Rotoshifter is a new, automated harvesting technology that separates BSFL from frass using air- and rotational forces and several drum screens simultaneously with an efficiency of up to 99,9% clean insects (larvae). To learn more about insect (larvae) harvesting methods and the Rotoshifter technology, [read the article](https://www.betabugs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/BETA-BUZZ-ISSUE-1.pdf) or visit our insect rearing page.  [![Visit insect rearing page](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/3834998/cdf3650b-819e-4828-ba98-6bfb3a2bd91e.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/3834998/cdf3650b-819e-4828-ba98-6bfb3a2bd91e)   ## Beta Buzz: a publication by Beta Bugs Ltd. from Edinburgh Beta Buzz was launched by Beta Bugs Ltd. With the publication of Beta Buzz the organization wants to help the sector address some of the questions regarding the farming of Black Soldier Fly. To help new entrants and farmers who strive to diversify into the insect farming industry.  By farming insects, the sector can create a more resilient, circular, and sustainable food system that preserves biodiversity and helps the agri-food sector reach net zero. That is where [Beta Buzz](https://www.betabugs.uk/meet-the-insect-farming-industry-innovators-leading-the-revolution-together-to-help-combat-the-climate-crisis/) comes in. ![royal dutch kusters engineering in beta buzz issue 1](https://www.royaldutchkusters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/article-beta-buzz.png?width=589&name=article-beta-buzz.png)   ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Recent Posts ### Subscribe to Email Updates ![Royal Dutch Kusters Engineering](https://www.royaldutchkusters.com/hubfs/corporate/logos/royal-dutch-kusters-engineering-logo.svg "Royal Dutch Kusters Engineering") L.J.
