Hermetia illucens for Fido & Friends
With our partner Hermetia Baruth, Reinartz has been engaged in this topic for years and has long since taken a leading role in this field. Together we have developed a procedure for efficiently processing black soldier flies („Hermetia illucens“) to high-quality protein meal.
The result: Insect meal with a remarkably high protein content of over 62%. Already last year we sold several plants and, another six until October this year. Demand is high – we are ready to serve you.
Together we set new standards
On 6th November 2018, the annual conference on networking, the ZIM-Netzwerkjahrestagung, of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) took place. Being a long-standing partner in a ZIM-network, we also attended the meeting.
We had a very interesting exchange around the transfer of research into practice as well as on the transfer of trends and possible innovation strategies.

Black Soldier Fly for strengthening the immune system of poultry
As is well known, the Black Soldier Fly is a valuable supplier of protein for animal feed. A characteristic that Reinartz already recognized years ago and has since been continuously working on the maximum utilisation of high-quality insect meal.
Now a recent study revealed that insects as feed addition have a positive effect on the immunity of poultry. This could have a significant impact on productivity within the poultry industry.

Insect proteins in test for Atlantic salmon
A team of Norwegian and Italian researchers has investigated the effects of insect meal and oil extracted from BSF larvae on the growth performance, body composition and nutrient digestibility of Atlantic salmon. The result is that the positive test results obtained with the Black Soldier Fly so far are confirmed: Insect proteins are ideal for use in fish feed.

At Reinartz, we support innovative ideas such as feed extraction from alternative sources and have developed an efficient method for maximum protein extraction from insect larvae: https://www.reinartz.de/en/insect-proteins/
Mechanical dewatering of algae
Reinartz stands for resource efficiency – innovative solutions with sophisticated processes are the key. One of our areas of expertise is the dewatering of biomass for recovery on the energy sector.
With one of our presses we currently we have carried out tests with algae and achieved excellent results with values of 16 % in the dry matter. And of course we keep on working on the development and optimisation of efficient technologies for energy recovery from biomass, with scientific support by renowned partners.
New cooperation with Münster University of Applied Sciences
Our new research partner, Münster University of Applied Sciences is currently working on a development project for the dewatering of biomass. The test series in this context are carried out with Reinartz presses. At Reinartz we are constantly working on the development of new, individual solutions and are therefore very pleased with the new cooperation.
Individual engineering concepts by Reinartz
We accompany our customers from the start, i.e. the planning, the coordination and management of their project to the completion, i.e. the commissioning and beyond. Reinartz supports his customers along the entire product lifecycle.
Since no plant is like the other, we put together individual packages, both for existing plants as part of a modification or extension as well as the implementation of a completely new engineering solution. And even after project completion, our technical support will be happy to help you with any questions. How can we help YOU?
Most valuable oil with maximum yield
Finally, for more than 70 years we at Reinartz have been dealing with the optimisation of existing and the development of new processes. Our highly efficient screw presses, filtration systems and separation processes make us the market leader for cold-pressing technology in Europe.
We offer customised solutions for every need – from the individual press to the complete solution for maximum use of resources. Thus, practically all flavourings, essential ingredients and fat-soluble vitamins A and E are preserved in their original form. The result is high quality edible oil with its own character. Maybe you think of us when you enjoy a delicious salad next time …
Insects as addition in animal feed?
The yield is impressive. A solution that also saves resources, because the rearing of insects requires just one tenth of the energy needed for producing other animal proteins. And insects need little space to grow up, hardly any water and food.
The successful testing phase is long behind us: Already last year we were able to commission several plants for the processing of insects. And that’s just the beginning: The individually developed solutions for this area may be regarded as milestones. They allow for scalability from semi-industrial to industrial production.
