Why use
HighCrop Drones?
Fast
In large open fields, drones can spray up to 16 hectares per hour, and the granular hopper can distribute up to 1.3 tonnes per hour. They’re ideal when time is critical, such as during narrow weather windows.
Precise
Equipped with RTK satellite navigation and autonomous flight planning, HighCrop Drones deliver centimetre-level accuracy on every application.
Accessible
Waterlogged ground, tight access points, steep slopes, and applications above structures are no obstacle. Our drones operate in environments where heavy machinery—or even walking—would be difficult or impossible.
Safe
Aerial Drones remove the need for human exposure to high-risk tasks: shading or cleaning glasshouses, operating machinery on steep terrain, or coming into contact with plant protection products.
Light-Footed
With zero ground compaction, no wheel ruts, and no disturbance to standing crops, HighCrop Drones protect soil structure and crop integrity.
Fully Adjustable
Every key parameter—height, speed, swath width, spread rate, spray rate—can be set before flight and refined in real time. Intelligent onboard systems automatically adjust flow and spread rates, while contactless volume sensors monitor product delivery throughout the mission.
-
Spray System:
The 50-litre spray tank with dual spray disks offers droplet size control from 60 to 600 microns, independent of pump rate. Maximum pump output is 22 L/min. -
Granule System:
The 80-litre hopper uses vertical twin-disk spreaders resistant to wind drift, combined with a precision auger feed system. Three interchangeable augers ensure even distribution across different granule sizes.
