FFB Reception and Quartering Print E-mail

Image of Fresh Fruit BunchesFresh Fruit Bunches (FFBs) are harvested throughout the year. The FFBs are collected from plantations or wild oil palm groves and delivered to the Palm Oil Processing Facility. On reception the FFBs are weighed.

Using an Hydraulic Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) Guillotine the FFBs are then quartered before being placed into storage where they may remain for up to 2 days (as long as the FFBs have been sterilized they may be stored for longer).

While in storage the FFBs will lose between 12%-14% of their weight in moisture and the attachment of the fruit to the stalk will be weakened.
