Orion AP3-P3 Aerial Cleaning | Tethered Drone Cleaning System for Small Drones The Orion AP3-P3 aerial cleaning system is a compact, versatile, and highly efficient tethered cleaning payload designed specifically for small drone platforms. The Orion AP3-P3 aerial cleaning system unlocks safe, stable, and cost-effective high-altitude cleaning for high-rise building maintenance, solar panel cleaning, insulator and tower cleaning, and infrastructure care — delivering up to 8,600 sq ft per hour at up to 84% lower cost than manual methods. Orion AP3-P3 Aerial Cleaning Key Features Lightweight and Compact Weighing just 2.9 lbs, the AP3-P3 is optimized for small drone platforms — simplifying flight approvals and enabling access to confined or restricted areas. Long Tethered Reach Supports up to 400 ft operating altitude with continuous tethered water supply and future expansion capabilities for extensive vertical cleaning coverage. Multi-Angle Hover Spraying Adjustable spray angles from +20° to -40° enable efficient cleaning of hard-to-reach surfaces including undersides, rooftops, and vertical structures. Pliabot® Self-Balancing Gimbal The proprietary Pliabot® gimbal system stabilizes the sprayer against flight movement, external interference, and recoil — ensuring consistent spray accuracy at all angles. High-Pressure Cleaning Performance A maximum 30 MPa high-pressure pump delivers powerful cleaning capable of removing stubborn dirt and debris efficiently across a wide range of surface types. Modular Nozzle Design Supports customizable pH cleaning agents and nozzle configurations to adapt to diverse cleaning tasks and surface requirements. Integrated Flight and Spray Control Fully integrated with the drone's flight controller — allowing a single operator to manage both flight and spraying operations from one controller. Real-Time Distance Detection A built-in detection module continuously measures distance to surfaces, ensuring optimal spray coverage and consistent cleaning results at all times. Dual Emergency Protection Propeller guards and tether backup provide enhanced safety during high-altitude cleaning operations.
