Abstract
Oil palm loose fruits (LF) on the ground indicate the Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) is ready to harvest. LF fall on the ground while harvesting, and these fruits must be gathered to maximize oil content before processing. After a century of commercial planting in Malaysia, LF collection has still not changed much. The LF are hand- picked or collected and placed in a bag or container or trailer. The worker has pain from frequent bending. From mechanical picking mechanisms to vacuum-type collecting devices, numerous instruments and equipment were created to reduce this difficulty and boost collection productivity. As a result, the Loose Fruits Remover will assist LF collecting. The overripe fruit bunches are brought in and stored in the Loose Fruit Remover, where the LF is extracted which, the machine powered by fuel. In addition, the Loose Fruits Remover will help you save time and labor energy since it can quickly and easily remove LF from overripe fruit bunches of varying sizes. The extraction or collection process utilizing the Loose Fruits Remover will take 20-30 seconds. The goal of this innovation is to make the process of collecting loose fruits shorter while also making it simpler and less labor intensive for the user.
