Warehouse Storage Standard Matrix: Traditional Method vs. Standard Palm Method
The table below shows a comparison of warehouse storage practices and their impact on the durability of palm stick raw materials:
| Warehouse Storage Parameters | Traditional Handling Practices | Rumondang Palm Management Standards | Impact on Factory Operations |
| Palletizing | Placed directly on the cement floor | Required to use pallets (min. $15\text{ cm}$) | Prevents moisture absorption from concrete floors. |
| Room Air Circulation | Tightly closed warehouse with no ventilation | Cross Ventilation System / Airflow Control | Prevents condensation of water on the surface of the skewer. |
| Stacking | Stack too high ($> 3\text{ meter}$) | Maximum: $2\text{ Meter}$ / $4\text{ Shiplap}$ | Maintain the integrity of the bond so that the skewer does not bend. |
| Estimated shelf life (shelf-life) | $< 3\text{ Bulan}$ (Susceptible to mold) | $12 – 18\text{ Bulan}$ (Stable Condition) | Enables long-term stock management of raw materials. |
“The durability of palm skewer fibers is highly dependent on the consistency of the storage environment. The proper application of warehouse sanitation and air circulation ensures that your raw materials remain elastic and ready for production at any time.”
3 Main Steps to Prevent Mold Damage in the Warehouse
-
Application of FIFO (First-In, First-Out) System: Arrange the placement of palm stick bales based on the arrival date of the container to ensure stock rotation runs in an orderly manner.
-
Periodic Humidity Inspection: Perform random checks using a Digital Moisture Meter on a monthly basis to ensure that the moisture content of raw materials remains at safe levels ($\text{MC} < 15\%$).
-
Cleaning the Warehouse Area from Pests: Keep the warehouse floor clean from residual fibers so as not to trigger the appearance of pests or insects that destroy natural fibers.

FAQs
What to do if the palm stick bale shows symptoms of rising humidity in the warehouse?
Immediately unwrap the outer bag (woven bag), separate the bales into a dry air area, and use an industrial blower to lower the moisture of the skewer surface.
Will long-stored palm skewers lose their flexibility?
No, as long as the moisture content is within the ideal range ($12\% – 14\%$) and avoid exposure to direct sunlight for a long time, the fiber structure of the palm stick will remain flexible and strong.
