Expand the capabilities of your Hylio ARES (HYL-150) with the ARES Spreader System, a complete granular application solution designed for professional agricultural drone operations. This integrated system combines the HYL150 solid tank assembly with Hylio’s 360 Spreader Device V3 and intelligent tank-monitoring components to provide a purpose-built solution for distributing granular agricultural materials.

Designed specifically for the ARES platform, the system gives operators the ability to move beyond liquid spraying and perform granular applications such as fertilizer distribution, seed spreading, and other solid-material treatments. By adding granular spreading capability to the ARES, operators can use a single aircraft platform for multiple precision agriculture applications.

Complete ARES Granular Application Solution

The Hylio ARES Spreader System is more than a simple spreader attachment. It combines the storage, dispensing, control, and tank-monitoring components required to configure an ARES for granular applications.

At the heart of the system is Hylio’s 360 Spreader Device V3, paired with a dedicated solid-material tank and electronic control components. The integrated design allows the spreader to become part of the ARES agricultural application ecosystem.

This provides operators with a flexible platform capable of supporting both liquid and granular application workflows.

Key Features

Purpose-Built for the ARES

The system is specifically configured for the Hylio ARES (HYL-150) agricultural drone, providing the components necessary to add granular spreading capability to the aircraft.

20-Gallon Solid Tank

The system incorporates the HYL150 Solid Tank Assembly, providing the dedicated storage capacity required for granular materials.

Hylio 360 Spreader Device V3

The integrated 360 Spreader Device V3 provides automated rotary distribution of granular materials. The V3 system is designed for precision agricultural applications and can be integrated with Hylio’s broader autonomous application workflow.

Smart Tank Monitoring

The included HYL150 Smart Tank PCB and empty-tank sensor assembly provide electronic monitoring of the spreading system, helping operators keep track of material levels during operation.

Quick-Fill Design

The included HYL150 Quick Fill Cap provides a convenient filling point for loading granular material into the solid tank.

Integrated System

All of the major components are designed to work together as a complete ARES spreading configuration, simplifying the process of converting the aircraft for granular applications.

360 Spreader Technology

The included Hylio 360 Spreader Device V3 is the system’s primary dispensing component. Designed for Hylio agricultural aircraft, the spreader uses a rotary distribution mechanism to distribute granular materials across the treatment area.

The V3 spreader is designed to provide controlled material flow and can be integrated with Hylio’s AgroSol Ground Control Software for autonomous agricultural missions.

This integration allows operators to incorporate granular application into the same broader mission-planning workflow used for Hylio drone operations.

Intelligent Tank Monitoring

The ARES Spreader System incorporates electronic components designed to monitor the solid-material tank.

The included Smart Tank PCB and Empty Tank Sensor Assembly provide the aircraft with information about material levels, helping operators better manage payload usage during missions.

The system also includes the appropriate Empty Tank Sensor Mount, providing the mounting hardware needed to integrate the sensor into the ARES spreading configuration.

Built for Professional Agricultural Operations

Agricultural drone operators need equipment that can perform consistently across demanding field environments. The ARES Spreader System is designed specifically around the HYL-150 platform and its agricultural application ecosystem.

By combining the tank, spreader, electronics, filling hardware, and tank-level sensing components into one system, Hylio provides operators with a purpose-built configuration rather than requiring them to assemble individual components separately.

For commercial applicators and agricultural operations, this can simplify equipment configuration and provide greater flexibility throughout the growing season.

Expand the Capabilities of Your ARES

The ARES platform is designed to support multiple agricultural applications. Adding the Spreader System allows operators to switch from liquid spraying to granular material application when the job requires it.

This flexibility can be particularly valuable for operators managing multiple crops, treatment types, or application schedules.

Rather than maintaining separate aircraft for different application methods, an appropriately configured ARES can support a broader range of agricultural tasks.

Why Choose the Hylio ARES Spreader System?

The Hylio ARES Spreader System provides ARES operators with a complete, integrated solution for adding granular application capabilities to their aircraft.

With the dedicated solid tank, automated 360 Spreader Device V3, smart tank electronics, quick-fill system, and empty-tank sensing components, the system is designed to simplify the transition to granular agricultural applications.

For operators who want to get more versatility from their Hylio ARES, this system provides the equipment needed to expand beyond liquid spraying and take on additional precision agriculture applications.

One aircraft. Multiple application capabilities. Greater operational flexibility.
