Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for producing a protein meal from insects, in particular from insect larvae and insect pupae, or from worms, comprising the steps of: a) comminuting the insects or worms to form a pulp or purée; b) splitting the pulp or purée into a fat fraction, a solids-containing fraction and an aqueous fraction; c) mixing the aqueous fraction and the solids-containing fraction to form a homogenous compound; d) drying the homogenous compound, with a dried protein meal being obtained. The invention also relates to a drying apparatus (11) for use in such a method, comprising drying devices (22, 24, 26) and a device (14) for comminuting clumps of the homogenous compound.
