dc.description.abstractThe objective of this was to design a Croton seed Dehusker with optimum performance, high production, high separating capacity, low operation cost and high durability. This project therefore seeks to research, design and develop a machine that is competitive in the market. The process of making biodiesel is first discussed highlighting the main stages and the need for a dehusking machine. The characteristics, distribution and uses of both the tree and the seed which we are interested in are discussed in depth. For the model, various parts are discussed about their functions and how they are to be designed including their dimensions and any special attributes that will allow variety testing based on speed and operation time among other factors. Various recommendations are then made for future improvements deemed necessary on the projecten_US
