Afri Air Shares Comprehensive Technical Information on Advanced Agricultural Drone Technology
ERMELO, SOUTH AFRICA – Agricultural drone technology continues advancing with new capabilities that offer enhanced performance for large-scale farming operations across South Africa. The DJI Agras T100 agricultural drone features specifications that represent significant improvements over previous models in the agricultural aviation sector.
The T100 features a 100-litre spraying tank with a 30 litres per minute flow rate, doubling the 40-litre capacity of the T50 model. The aircraft covers 12 hectares per hour compared to the T50’s 6 hectares per hour coverage. For spreading applications, the 150-litre hopper disperses granular products at 400kg per minute.
Battery technology includes the DB2160 Intelligent Flight Battery that charges from 30% to 95% in nine minutes using the D14000iE charging station. The 41,000 mAh battery provides 15-20 minutes of flight time per cycle.
Safety systems include LiDAR technology, millimetre-wave radar, and a Penta-Vision system that detects obstacles within a 60-metre range. The Safety System 3.0 creates real-time point cloud mapping for obstacle awareness during operations.
The aircraft’s 85kg lifting capacity enables applications beyond traditional crop spraying, including cargo transport and equipment delivery. The maximum flight speed reaches 20 m/s with operation in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C and wind resistance up to 6 m/s.
The T100 weighs 73kg with battery installed and requires two-person handling teams for operation. DJI Agriculture maintains exclusive approval from the South African government for aerial application operations, with operators requiring SACAA approval for commercial use.
