Inside a Giant Durian Factory. From Spiky Fruit to Premium Freeze Dried Durian

[00:00:00]Lower the rope slowly. Watch the spikes.

[00:00:02]Okay. Making sure it clears the branches.

[00:00:16]The process is fully automated from precise weighing to robotic palletizing, guaranteeing the highest quality freeze-dried durian. As the sun rises over the lush landscape, the harvest season begins at one of the region's largest durian orchards.

[00:00:40]>> This one is ready for harvest.

[00:00:42]>> Confirmed.

[00:00:43]>> I'll tag it now.

[00:01:12]It is critical to ensure the support rope is securely fastened. Give the safety line a firm tug to test the knots's integrity before the cut.

[00:01:36]>> We should aim for that large cluster first. All right, I'll get the pole ready.

[00:01:44]I've got the feet locked in the soil here. Good.

[00:01:47]I'll test the weight now. Seems solid.

[00:02:07]Pull left slowly.

[00:02:10]>> Okay. Steady. Now clear the branch.

[00:02:16]Steady, steady.

[00:02:17]>> Watch the spikes right here. Easy down.

[00:02:40]Cutting now. Coming down.

[00:02:41]>> Clear below. Drop it slowly.

[00:02:43]>> Got it. Bringing it to the crates.

[00:02:48]Lowering the next one now. All right.

[00:02:49]Bring it down slowly. Watch the ropes.

[00:02:56]>> Looks good. The stem is solid.

[00:02:58]>> Okay. Weighing at 3.5 kg. Recording now.

[00:03:04]This is the defect identification zone.

[00:03:08]Durian with visible flaws are rejected.

[00:03:10]Only the premium raw material Put that batch in zone three.

[00:04:04]Watch the weight on this one.

[00:04:08]>> All right, that's 55 kg for batch A3.

[00:04:11]Okay, moving it now. Get the next one ready.

[00:04:16]>> Check the stems carefully on this batch.

[00:04:18]>> Found one with cracks here.

[00:04:24]>> Make sure the labels are facing out.

[00:04:26]>> Yes. Stacking this bin now.

[00:04:30]Careful with that large one.

[00:05:20]Batch codes and temperature verified.

[00:05:22]Everything is in order. You are cleared to enter.

[00:05:24]>> Thank you, officer.

[00:05:28]>> Bring the next pallet to bay 3.

[00:05:30]>> Confirmed. Moving now.

[00:05:36]>> Okay, bring it in slowly. Watch the sides.

[00:05:40]Got it. Look secure.

[00:05:46]Heat. Heat.

[00:06:16]The technician meticulously records the weight and diameter to ensure the raw material meets the required specifications.

[00:07:12]The automated system gently releases the accepted durian onto the wide roller conveyor, ensuring proper spacing for the next stage.

[00:07:48]Heat. Heat.

[00:08:16]The calibrated nozzles ensure a fine uniform mist for complete surface sanitation before the clean zone entry.

[00:08:24]Heat.

[00:08:42]Heat.

[00:08:48]Heat. Heat.

[00:09:15]Here we see the fully open durian. Displaying the thick golden lobes, our sanitized tools ensure the flesh remains pristine before removal.

[00:11:51]Heat. Heat.

[00:12:12]Heat.

[00:12:26]Heat.

[00:13:04]the Loaded durian trays are quickly transported to the blast freezer, ensuring the golden pieces maintain peak freshness through rapid freezing.

[00:13:43]Heat. Heat.

[00:14:16]Okay, bring the trolley right up to the chamber door.

[00:14:19]>> Aligning now. Standby for loading sequence.

[00:14:55]Heat.

[00:15:03]Heat.

[00:15:12]Through controlled shelf heating, we ensure the frozen durian sublimates directly to vapor, maintaining the integrity of the product under stable vacuum conditions.

[00:15:44]Check the moisture removal rate on batch 4B.

[00:15:47]>> Reading 5 kg hour optimal.

[00:16:00]The moisture removal rate is stable below the threshold.

[00:16:05]Cycle is complete.

[00:16:40]These freeze-dried durian pieces showcase perfect shape preservation characterized by their dry, pale, golden, and slightly porous surfaces.

[00:17:35]Heat. Heat.

[00:17:57]Heat. Heat.

[00:18:47]Here at the testing station, every bag passes through the automated leak detection system, ensuring seal integrity and product crispness.

[00:19:04]Highresolution cameras verify critical data, checking the batch code, date, and seal alignment of every single item.
