Re: Weavils in my corn! the Horror
100 kg = approx. 220 lbs. Put corn in 5 lb. bags at 2o sec. each = less than 20 minutes total. Not a bad trade off for this problem in my opinion!

20 seconds sounds a bit short to pop weevils in 5 pounds of corn... 
And 40 bags in 20 minutes would take machine precision...
