The production of biodiesel from the seeds requires proper opening and separation of kernel from shell and removal of other impurities. Hence there is a need of proper and efficient machine to remove the shell from the kernel, which is called as decorticator and the machine used for extracting oil from these seeds are known as oil expellers. These two process i.e. oil expelling and decorticating are two separate entities and commercially available machines today have only one of these operations and hence mainly two different machines are needed in order to extract the oil from the seeds which after certain processes like trans-esterification gets converted to bio fuel. Commercially available machines are of the larger size and the capacity in range of few tons and litres. Hence only large Industries can afford to purchase these machines. Hence we came up with an idea of clubbing the two operations i.e. decorticating and oil expelling into single machine running on a single 1hp motor for Simarouba seeds, which is newest of its kind. We used the rasp bar to shear off the shells of simarouba seeds and two stages of mesh (sieve) so that the kernels and shells gets separated to the maximum extent. The separated kernels are allowed to move through a long pipe into the expeller in which the seeds gets crushed with the help of helical screw (worm) thus extracting the oil. The long pipe also acts as the buffer storage between the expeller and decorticator to match the output of the decorticator with the input of the oil expeller
