Neem Cake & Oil – Manufacturing Process from Neem Seeds

The manufacturing process involves the following steps:

  • Procurement of quality neem seeds from the market and vendors
  • Pre-cleaning
  • Decortication
  • Cold-pressed expelling operation

1. Procurement of Quality Neem Seeds

Quality neem seeds free from fungus and impurities — with low fruit content, controlled moisture, and minimal admixtures (dust, twigs, etc.) — are selected and procured from both market sources and trusted vendors.

2. Pre-Cleaning

The seeds are thoroughly washed to remove sand and fine dust, then solar-dried to reach the
required moisture level.

After drying, the seeds pass through:

  • fruit separator — removes remaining fruit
  • magnetic separator — removes metal particles
  • de-stoner — removes stones and heavy impurities

3. Decortication

The seeds are broken into shell and kernel. Through winnowing, neem husk is separated and bagged, while kernels move forward for oil extraction.

4. Cold-Pressed Expelling

Clean kernels are fed into rotary expellers where RPM is controlled to avoid heat buildup.Neem oil is collected and stored for filtration, while neem cake flakes are cooled and bagged.
