The machine you described is called a color sorter. It had been used in the canning industry for quite a few years. We used color sorters to sort dark colored pieces of peaches in our diced products. They work amazingly well but very expensive. The ones we used were close to half a million dollars. But their use eliminated 100s of employees, hence good investment
Cacoons are fairly resistant to temperature fluctuations depending on where they are. If they are in a substrate/soil/bin/wild and covered then temperatures are less important to be worried about. If they are kept in direct sunlight thats another problem. If kept in the shade then ambient temperatures shouldn't be an issue. Hope this helps.
I haven't come across any research that states this information, but they definitely should be able to withstand temps of 90 or 100 F. It's good to remember that the thermal mass of a worm bin will hold temps that are different than ambient temps. Even on a hot summer day the inside of your bin will be cooler than ambient temperature.
@@UrbanWormCompany Thank you, Troy! That is helpful. Right now I have red wigglers in a bin in A/C with the house. But, I am contemplating getting some African night crawlers and keeping them in the garage as breeders for bait worms. The garage easily hits 100 degrees in the Florida summers of 90 to 95 degrees. I think having bait fish gives me a way to get fish for free.

Hello and thank you from East Central Florida.

Thanks Rick!
Thanks for that info

I wonder if worms and their cocoons can a. survive heavy cool water for a short period of time (10 - 20 mins) and b. they float.

I don't see the link to the machine from the German company Herr under the comments. I went yo the website, but didn't see it list there either.

How hot can the cocoons survive? 90, 100?
