METHOD FOR SEPARATION OF LUCILIA FLY LARVAE FROM A SUBSTRATE AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A01K67/33 

FIELD: biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: substrate, together with larvae, is fed via loading hopper to conveyor belt running at linear speed of not more than 0.9 m/min, width of at least 750 mm and with corrugated surface inclined laterally at angle of 20±5° in transverse plane relative to the base. Further, substrate with larvae by means of conveyor belt arrives into zone of darkened space with illumination, formed with covers installed above conveyor belt at angle 20° in transverse plane and equipped with source of light fixed on each of them from lower side of longitudinal edge of conveyor belt. Loading hopper is made with a calibrated slot in the end part and is placed with gap of 8–10 mm relative to the conveyor belt in the area of its upper part. Bead is arranged along conveyor belt on its high longitudinal edge side. Receiving chutes are fixed on the side of lower located longitudinal edge of conveyor belt to receive larvae migrating from substrate to light along conveyor belt.

EFFECT: invention allows to minimize degree of contamination of Lucilia fly larvae at their maximum yield.
