Agras T100 High-Capacity 150L Heavy Lift Drone Cargo Tank Dispersion System

In the contemporary landscape of precision agriculture and heavy-lift unmanned operations, operational efficiency is dictated by payload capacity and cycle autonomy. The Agras T100 150L Dispersion System represents the pinnacle of engineering applied to large-scale RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems).

Unlike conventional systems, this system was designed to mitigate turnaround time and maximize sortie coverage. In the aerospace drone sector, the transition to 150-liter tanks requires a restructuring of the aircraft's fluid dynamics and center of gravity (CG), ensuring that flight stability is not compromised even under maximum load conditions. This component is vital for operators seeking industrial-scale solid or liquid dispersal missions.

What it is and how it works.

The system is a high-performance modular storage and ejection unit. It consists of a chemically inert, high-density polymer reservoir mounted on a support structure made of carbon fiber and aeronautical aluminum alloys.

The operation is based on a centrifugal or gravity-controlled dispersion mechanism (depending on the configuration of the lower nozzle). Integrated flow sensors communicate in real time with the drone's flight controller, adjusting the flow rate according to the ground speed , ensuring uniform and precise deposition of inputs or cargo.

Operational Applications in Aviation and Drones

Large-Scale Precision Agriculture

Ideal for applying solid fertilizers, aerial seeding, and phytosanitary treatments on large landholdings where smaller drones (T30 or T40) would require excessive battery changes and tank refills.

Logistics and Critical Cargo Operations

Although designed for dispersion, its 150L structure can be adapted for transporting fluids in remote logistics support missions, where the volume and integrity of the transported material are priorities.

Firefighting and Reforestation

Strategically used for releasing flame retardants into initial fires or for the mass release of encapsulated seeds in environmental remediation projects.

Technical and Operational Benefits

• Structural Reliability: The use of reinforced supports and materials resistant to chemical corrosion ensures a long service life, even when exposed to aggressive agents.

• Dispersion Precision: The internal funnel design is optimized to prevent the "vortex" effect and ensure that the material output is constant, regardless of the fill level.

• Performance Optimization: Increases productivity per flight hour by up to 40% compared to standard 100L systems, reducing operating costs per hectare.

• Simplified Integration: Plug-and-play connectors for CAN-Bus, facilitating telemetry of load level and dispersion motor status.

Key Technical Differentiators

• Anti-Sway Geometry: The tank has internal baffles (deflectors) that minimize fluid mass displacement, maintaining the aircraft's inertial stability during abrupt maneuvers.

• High-Strength Material: Constructed from HDPE with UV treatment, preventing structural degradation from continuous sun exposure.

• Quick-Coupling System: Allows for tank replacement or ejection system maintenance in just a few minutes, crucial for high-intensity operations.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility and Installation Requirements

The system is specifically designed for Agras T100 series drones and custom heavy-lift platforms .

• Frame Requirements: Wheelbase compatible with bottom center mounting.
• Electrical Requirements: Direct connection to the drone's Power Distribution Unit (PDU) to power the dispersion motor.
• Software: Requires a firmware update for the controller to recognize the new weight and volume profile of 150L.

Important Technical Guidelines and Considerations

1. MTOW Calculation: Before operation, verify that the aircraft's Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) can accommodate a full fuel tank (150L) plus the structural weight and batteries.
2. Predictive Maintenance: After each operating cycle with corrosive chemicals, technical cleaning of valves and flow sensors is recommended to prevent fouling.
3. Sensor Calibration: The accuracy of the level gauge may vary depending on the viscosity of the liquid or the particle size of the solid; perform calibration on the ground before the first mission.
