Choose the right configuration
for your site
The Drone Cleaning System comes in three versions depending on your starting point: Base System standalone if you already own a DJI Matrice 400, Complete Kit including drone and standard batteries, or Advanced Tethered Kit for continuous operation with unlimited flight time. All kits include 220 bar pump, 150 m hose reel, nozzle set and DroneBase training. Prices excl. VAT, financeable via Grenke operating lease over 24-60 months.

Unlimited autonomy.
Zero interruptions.
The Advanced Kit includes the DJI Matrice 400 tethered system: the drone is continuously powered from the ground via cable, eliminating battery flight-time limits. On long jobs this changes the economics of the intervention — no more 30-minute sessions, but full operational days without interruptions. Lower battery cycle costs, no human-error risk during battery swaps, uniform cleaning pressure throughout the session. When workload justifies it, the tethered pays for itself in just a few jobs.
- Operational continuity for hours, not minutes
- Zero battery-swap interruptions
- Zero battery cycle and wear costs
- Zero human-error risk during swaps
- Uniform cleaning pressure throughout the session
- Operational on large-scale job sites
Which configuration fits your site?
From assembly
to operation in 4 steps
The drone is equipped with a remote-tiltable nozzle, connected via a flexible high-pressure hose to a ground-based pump. The entire process is run from the pilot station: one flight operator, a second managing pump and hose reel. No downtime, no operators at height.
Plug & play assembly
Tool-free slide-on mount onto the DJI Matrice 400. The cleaning system attaches in under 5 minutes, foldable design for compact transport and rapid on-site deployment.
Industrial ground-based pump
Professional 220 bar petrol pump delivering constant pressure through 150 m of HP hose with motorized electric reel. 800 l/h flow rate for continuous operation.
Remote-tiltable nozzle
Spray angle adjustable from +10° to -50° with real-time remote control. Interchangeable ¼” nozzles to adapt the jet to any surface type and soiling level.
Live View & control
Dual Full HD camera with laser sensor for precise distance from the surface. Everything monitored from the ground in total safety: pilot and operator never leave the operational base.
What changes
compared to scaffolding
The Drone Cleaning System is not a “technological” alternative to traditional methods — it changes the economics of the intervention. Setup in minutes vs days of scaffolding assembly, operators always on the ground, access to otherwise unreachable geometries, no interruption to building activities. Average result: +300% efficiency and −40% operating costs.
Ready from arrival
Tool-free plug & play slide-on mount onto the DJI Matrice 400. The 220 bar pump is positioned and connected on-site, the hose reel deployed, the drone attached. In under 5 minutes the system is operational. By comparison: scaffolding takes hours or days of assembly, permits and logistics.
Operators always on the ground
The entire intervention is run from the ground: the pilot controls the drone, the second operator manages pump and hose reel. No scaffolding, no aerial platforms, no operators at height. Drastic reduction of injury risk and operational liability insurance costs.
Access anywhere, up to 80 m
Vertical, inclined, curved facades, overhangs, balconies, solar panels on complex roofs: the drone reaches areas scaffolding and platforms can’t. Maximum operational height 80 m, uniform coverage thanks to the +10° to -50° remote-tiltable nozzle.
The building stays operational
Activities below are not interrupted: no closed roads, no blocked entrances, no commercial activities halted. The intervention is rapid and quiet, with minimal ground footprint. Key difference for shopping centres, hotels, offices, occupied residential buildings, public buildings.
Traditional methods
vs Drone System
Direct comparison on real job sites of the same square footage. The numbers aren’t theoretical: they come from sites executed by our clients on facades, solar arrays, industrial buildings. The difference isn’t “technological” — it’s economic.
Traditional methods
- Expensive scaffolding, long assembly times (hours or days)
- Operators at height: fall and injury risk
- Interruption of building activities during the intervention
- Limitations on complex geometries and overhangs
- High costs for difficult access (cherry pickers, MEWPs, ropes)
- Weather conditions limiting work at height
- Prolonged visual and logistical impact
- High operational liability insurance costs due to risk
Drone Cleaning System
- Setup in under 5 minutes, zero scaffolding
- Operators always on the ground: drastically reduced risk
- No interruption of activities below
- Unlimited access to any geometry up to 80 m
- Operating cost reduced by 40% on the same square footage
- Operational in more conditions than work at height
- Rapid intervention, minimal footprint, low impact
- Lower risk exposure = lower insurance costs
