Why do you need a mealworm sifter?
- Mealworms develop at varying rates, and it is often desired to separate mature mealworms from immature mealworms (e.g., for pet consumption and/or sale).
- Separating mealworms by hand is time-consuming and risks damaging the mealworms.
- A properly-designed sifter allows for quick sorting with minimal stress to the mealworms.
- Using a mealworm sifter is more precise than hand separation.
Why choose Mealworm Farming Solutions’ D-11 LIGHTNING SIFTER Small Mealworm Sifting Pan (2nd Gen)?
- FASTER: Our D-11 LIGHTNING SIFTER Small Mealworm Sifting Pan (2nd Gen) allows for separation of small-sized mealworms even faster than before, leaving the small-sized mealworms on top!
- VERSATILE: Our 11” diameter LIGHTNING SIFTER sifting pans (denoted as "D-11") can be used individually or stacked together on top of a standard 5-gallon bucket!
- DURABLE: Our LIGHTNING SIFTER sifting pans are made of stainless steel, which is stronger and less prone to breakage compared to wood or plastic models!
- FUNCTIONAL: Our LIGHTNING SIFTER sifting pans are uniquely designed to provide ample space for separating mealworms, pupae, beetles, food substrate, and frass with ease, while allowing each pan to be placed on a flat surface without crushing anything underneath!

I bought this along with the other pans in the “second generation” set (pupae, large, medium and frass). Together, I put them on top of a 5-gallon bucket and use them to separate out my mealworms and frass (or mealworm “castings”) all at the same time. With a little vigorous shaking, everything separates out nicely (provided you are using wheat bran as your food substrate). They are a lifesaver, making my job so much easier since I have to separate out a lot of bins each week. Even if you have a smaller mealworm farm, trust me, you will appreciate the convenience of these pans. They are very well made and they are even marked with the name of the pan on the inside and outside of the pan so you can easily see which is which. I know they are not cheap, but they are well worth it because they will last a lifetime!

These pans are a total lifesaver for separating mealworms and frass, especially with wheat bran. Totally worth grabbing the set to save $.

The small sifter is great. When I stack it under the large and medium sifters (which I also bought), it helps me sort my mealworms quickly. I feed the larger mealworms to my lizards and frogs, and I put the mediums and smalls in other bins so they can continue to grow out. Very happy with the purchase.

Got this to complete my set. Works great on a 5-gal bucket for easy sorting. Saves a ton of time, especially with wheat bran. Worth the investment, these pans are built to last.

This small sifter is a fantastic addition to my mealworm setup. I was initially skeptical about the need for a smaller size, but it's proven incredibly useful for separating out smaller mealworms and/or for working with younger colonies. The 2nd generation design is clearly superior, making the sifting process quick and effortless. 5 stars from me!
