Johor Part 2...

... Woke up early in the morning at about 7am. Went to gathering point at 7.45am in college and we departed at 8am...

We sat in the bus for 4 hours++ due to the slow driving bus driver ~.~ Slow is better than speeding driver :) However we got impatient later coz he drove really slow!

We entered Machap from PLUS highway and travelled into a kampung road deep into the rural area. At last we reached the factory, Asiatic Oil Mill, after a long, hard ride.
Below was our first sight of the factory:

We were greeted by the factory manager and his engineers after we got down from the bus. Below is the manager giving briefing bout the plant's rules and functions:

Some examples of the plant product and materials:
Crude palm oil



Plant's 'schematic' drawing

Pollution!!!

We went nearer to the oil palm which they gathered in a vast empty area.
They chose which oil palm can be processed and which have to be separated bcoz of bad quality there.



Kernel silo! Compare the size of it to the worker below!

One of their efficiency innovation is by burning fibre to produce steam where they can use the steam to cook the palm oil at 200 degree celcius:

The factory was damn hot and we were glad that we can rest after visiting the factory.
We went back to the office to enjoy our lunch, the Johor's famous Nasi Briyani:

We left the factory at around 3.30pm and we reached Setapak after around 5 hours coz we met some traffic jams in MRR2.

Indeed it was a tired but enjoying trip :) Looking forward to tis kind of trip in the future...
