We wanted to test this, so we recently acquired a 2.2kW electric 3-phase hammer mill, from Agsol in Kenya, to test at our existing rural off-grid productive use mini-hub in Ormoti. The tests assessed (1) speed of milling, and (2) quality of output. Assembling milling machine (left) and sieving maize to remove impurities before milling (right)
Agsol solar-mill In 2016, Matt Carr and Greg Denn founded Agsol to build on early successes with "solarising" small agro-processing machines. "Because diesel mills are large expensive machines and have really high operating costs, they are typically only found in larger towns and centres.
Category Diesel Mill Standard Electric Mill Solar Mill Details Diesel by a diesel-powered engine that is coupled to the mill. Driven by an AC induction motor that is coupled to the mill via a belt and typically operated on the grid or mini-grids. Motors Typically AC induction, but can be DC or PM motor. Typical Power Ratings (kW) 7.5 - 17.5 7.5
Our super-efficient MicroMill can be powered from solar, mini-grid, grid or e-bike. It can process grains like maize, sorghum and millet, or tubers like cassava. 70% more profitable than a diesel mill in solar format. 2.5x more efficient than other

Agsol has partnered with CLASP, the leading international voice & resource for appliance energy efficiency policies and market acceleration initiatives, to study the impact of solar milling technologies on the livelihoods of rural farming communities.. Stage one includes laboratory trials, led by Agsol, to test the Agsol mills in a Nairobi lab and prepare for field
Task 5: Solar mill pilots design and research methodology. In collaboration with CLASP and Agsol, develop a pilot design and research methodology that will allow the research outputs to be generally representative of a variety of use cases/deployment models and potentially be scaled up and/or replicated in other countries and regions.
This project will develop and distribute a network of solar mills in rural ar-eas to provide access to renewable energy for milling and other produc-tive uses. Agsol''s Gen2 solar mills are purpose built to meet the staple food processing needs of African farms, while also incorporating the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and cloud
As a social enterprise, Agsol keeps its drive for social impact at the core of what it does and commits to reinvesting the majority of any profits into furthering its social mission. Tell us a little bit about AGSOL: how did you start out? We started in 2016 and our primary focus is developing agri-machines for the solar industry.
could run the mill for up to four hours after a 50km ride. FUND INNOVATOR SERIES 3 Primary school students in Kinakoni with the Agsol solar mill. Agsol successfully reduced the MicroMill''s material costs by 44%, from USD 285 to USD 160, more than double the target of a 20% reduction. This was achieved by
When the World Bank released its landmark Productive Use Leveraging Solar Energy (PULSE) report in 2019, PUE was still an emerging concept. Read more about how Agsol''s solar milling system is set to beat the World Bank Group''s 2019 forecast, reaching affordability targets five years ahead of the 2030 timeline, here!
· info@agsol The Agsol MicroMill is the smartest and most efficient small hammer mill ever developed. It is over two times more efficient than any other small electric mill in its class and is fully automated. The MicroMill can be powered from solar, grid or rechargeable batteries. It can produce
