🇺🇸 U.S.A. FIRST

Ares Acres LLC is a U.S.-based authorized DJI Agras reseller supporting American agricultural drone operators with genuine DJI Agras OEM replacement parts, accessories, and field-ready inventory.

FREE & FAST Shipping is included for all U.S. customers.

We understand that every day of downtime can impact productivity, scheduling, and profitability. That's why we focus on providing fast fulfillment, responsive customer support, and reliable access to the parts operators need most.

The newest Agras flagships — T100 and T70P — move more liquid faster than anything before them, and every ounce of it passes through a fine mesh screen first. The 100 mesh filter is the spray system's gatekeeper: trapping the fine particles, undissolved granules, and field debris that would otherwise ride straight into the nozzles and pumps.

Real-world spray mixes are never clean. Fill water carries grit, chemical carries clumps, and every tank is a fresh load of particles headed for the most precise components on the aircraft. The filter takes that hit — tank after tank — until it's clogged, torn, or worn past service.

That is why Ares Acres keeps hard-to-find OEM filtration hardware for the newest Agras platforms in stock and shipped fast to the U.S.A., helping operators keep the liquid path clean, minimize downtime, and keep their aircraft spraying when every acre counts.

For professional farmers, aerial applicators, and commercial drone operators, this five-piece set is nozzle and pump insurance at small-parts money.

🔧 Component Overview

The DJI T100 - T70P Original 100 Mesh Filters are a five-piece set of OEM fine filtration screens for the spray systems of the DJI Agras T100 and T70P agricultural drones.

Each filter's 100 mesh screen captures fine particles and debris before they enter the spraying system — protecting nozzles, pumps, and plumbing from clogging and wear, and keeping flow consistent and application even across the field. Built for agricultural environments with dust, chemicals, and variable water quality, and quick to install during routine system checks, the five-piece set keeps a fresh screen in the aircraft and spares in the field kit.

Commercial agricultural drones operate in demanding environments every day, including:

• Crop spraying
• Liquid fertilizer application
• Herbicide treatments
• Fungicide applications
• Insecticide spraying
• High-tempo fill-and-fly operations
• Orchard operations
• Vineyard spraying
• Precision agriculture missions
• Daily commercial deployments
• Fleet operations
• High-acreage contract work

Throughout these operations, mesh filters are routinely exposed to:

• Continuous liquid flow through the screen
• Fine grit and particles in every tank
• Undissolved fertilizer and chemical clumps
• Variable field-fill water quality
• Abrasive particle loading at the mesh
• Chemical attack on screen materials
• Cleaning and rinse cycles between loads
• Handling wear at every service
• Chemical crystallization between missions
• Long commercial operating hours

Over time, this duty clogs the mesh, wears the screen, and degrades the element — and a compromised filter means debris reaching the components it exists to protect.

The 100 Mesh Filters help maintain:

• Clean, debris-screened liquid flow
• Protected nozzles, pumps, and plumbing
• Consistent flow and even application
• Extended spray component lifespan
• Quick filter service at system checks
• Spares always in the field kit
• Increased fleet readiness
• Maximum aircraft uptime
• Reliable commercial operation

For operators running the newest flagships tank after tank, filtration is the cheapest protection in the system.

Backlight the screen. Hold the element up against a bright sky or a work lamp and look straight through the mesh. An element sitting in a dish of water can look perfectly clean and still be half blocked, but held against light it gives you the answer in a second: dark patches are blinded cells that are no longer passing anything, and bright pinholes, slits, or lines are tears. This one test decides go or no-go faster than any amount of rinsing and squinting at a wet screen.

Read what is on the screen rather than just how much of it there is, because the debris is a report on your operation. Fine tan silt is your fill water. Hard crystalline crust is product that came back out of solution, which points at mix order, water temperature, or agitation rather than at the field. Plant material and insects mean the tank opening or breather is letting things in. Black rubbery flakes mean a hose or a seal somewhere in the system is breaking down, and that one deserves attention before the next tank goes in.

Check which side of the mesh the debris is sitting on before you order nozzles. Material trapped on the upstream face is the filter doing exactly what it exists to do. Material found on the clean side means something got past: a tear you have not found yet, an element that was not seated, or a seal that is letting liquid bypass the screen entirely. A screen with perfect mesh and a nicked or rolled sealing edge is worse than a dirty one, because it looks fine and filters nothing.

Use a fresh element to settle whether the restriction is even in the filter. If pressure and flow come straight back after a swap, the screen was the problem and you have your answer for a few dollars. If a brand-new element changes nothing at all, the restriction is somewhere else in the liquid path, and you have eliminated the cheapest suspect in about two minutes rather than pulling hoses on a guess. That is the main practical reason to have spares within reach instead of on order.

Compare elements against each other where the aircraft carries more than one. Screens that load at noticeably different rates are telling you something about how liquid is being divided through the system, and a screen that comes out unusually clean when its neighbor is packed is more likely to be bypassing than to be lucky. Lay them out together on a clean rag at every service and the outlier will be obvious long before it produces a symptom in the field.

⚙️ Functional Purpose

The 100 Mesh Filters are designed to screen the liquid path of the DJI Agras T100 and T70P.

The components help:

• Capture fine debris before it enters the system
• Prevent nozzle clogs mid-mission
• Protect pumps from grit and particles
• Keep plumbing clear and flowing
• Maintain spray consistency across the field
• Extend nozzle and pump lifespan
• Handle variable water quality at field fills
• Replace clogged, torn, or worn screens
• Install quickly at routine system checks
• Maintain OEM fitment on both flagships
• Support preventative maintenance
• Keep spares in every field kit
• Increase fleet readiness
• Keep filtration hardware field-ready

Every nozzle and pump downstream trusts the screen upstream — and the whole spray system is only as clean as its filter.

Fresh screens keep the flow clean and the components protected through season after season of commercial duty.

Clogged or damaged filters may contribute to:

• Nozzle clogs and blocked spray heads
• Debris reaching pumps and plumbing
• Uneven spray patterns and coverage
• Flow restrictions and pressure loss
• Field stops for nozzle cleaning
• Accelerated component wear
• Interrupted spraying missions
• Unexpected downtime
• Reduced fleet reliability

Replacing worn filters restores the clean, screened flow the spray system was engineered around.

Flush before you open. Run clean water through the system for a minute so the housing is not full of concentrate when the cap comes off, then depressurize and drain properly. Wear the gloves and eye protection the label calls for regardless, because the filter is where the strongest material in the tank has been collecting, and it will be on the element, on the housing threads, and in whatever runs down your forearm when the cap releases.

Open the housing over a container so you can see what comes out with the liquid, and cap or plug the open port the moment the element is clear. A filter housing is an open door into the clean side of the spray system, and anything that falls in while you are working goes straight to the nozzles the next time the pump runs. This is the step that turns a filter service into a nozzle teardown when it gets skipped.

Note the orientation before the old element leaves the housing. Where an element has a closed end, a taper, a lip, or a seal at only one end, it goes back the way it came out, and a screen fitted backwards can bypass rather than filter. If the element is not obviously symmetrical, mark the end that faced the inlet with a piece of tape before you set it down, because it will look symmetrical again by the time you pick the new one up.

Look after the seal, not the thread. Inspect the O-ring or gasket for flattening, nicks, swelling, and dried product in the groove, and clean the groove and the sealing face before the cap goes back on. If you lubricate it, use water or a lubricant known to be compatible with spray-system elastomers rather than whatever grease is on the bench, since the wrong one swells a seal and turns a working joint into a leak.

Hand-tighten the cap and stop. The seal does the sealing, not the clamping force, and pulling a filter cap down hard distorts the housing, rolls the seal out of its groove, and makes the next removal a fight. Do not force an element into a housing it does not want to enter either; a screen that has been pushed in distorted will leak around its own edge, which is the failure that puts debris on the clean side.

Prime and prove it with clean water before any chemical goes in. Run the system, look for weeping at the cap, watch the pressure hold steady rather than pulsing, and check the tank for unexpected foam, because both of those point at air being drawn in past a filter seal on the suction side. Then look at the spray pattern across the nozzles before you call the service finished.

⚠️ Common Replacement Indicators

Replacement may be recommended when operators observe:

• Stubborn clogging that rinsing won't clear
• Torn or punctured mesh
• Deformed or crushed screen elements
• Chemical-degraded filter material
• Persistent flow restrictions
• Frequent nozzle clogs downstream
• Debris found past the filter
• Discolored, aged screen material
• Filters past their service interval
• Maintenance inspection findings
• Seasonal spray system rebuilds
• Fleet refurbishment projects
• Preventative pre-season replacement
• Long-term commercial wear

Common causes of filter wear include abrasive particle loading grinding at the mesh tank after tank, chemical attack degrading screen materials season after season, cleaning cycles wearing the element at every service, crystallized chemical binding into the mesh between missions, and simple accumulated duty — filters are consumable by design, and the five-piece set exists because sharp fleets change screens on schedule and keep spares within arm's reach.

For commercial operators, a fresh filter is almost always cheaper than the clogged nozzles and worn pumps a spent one lets through.

Pressure that starts on target and falls away across a tank, then comes back when a fresh tank is mixed: the screen is loading with something that is coming out of solution rather than with field debris. Fixing the mix will do more than changing filters more often.

One nozzle clogging repeatedly while the others stay clear: something is getting past a screen and landing in the same place. Inspect the element for a tear and the housing seal for bypass before you keep cleaning that nozzle.

Foam in the tank or pressure that pulses rather than holding steady: air being drawn into the suction side, often past a filter cap seal or a distorted housing. A screen replacement will not fix it and the seal will.

A screen that looks acceptable wet and clearly blocked when it dries: crystallized product bound into the mesh. Rinsing moves it around while it is wet and it sets again as it dries, which is why this one keeps coming back.

Filters that suddenly begin loading much faster after a change of water source, product, or supplier: the screen is reporting on the new input, not wearing out. Worth knowing before anybody blames the filters.

Black or rubbery flakes on the mesh: a hose, seal, or gasket inside the system is degrading. The filter is doing its job and reporting a second fault at the same time, and that second fault is the one that will cost money.

An element that comes out unusually clean when it normally does not, especially alongside fresh nozzle problems: bypass. Check seating, the seal, and the element edge, because unfiltered liquid is finding a way around the screen.

📐 Specifications

Component Type: 100 mesh filter / fine filtration screen element

Compatibility:

• DJI Agras T100
• DJI Agras T70P

Package Quantity: 5 Pieces

Filtration Rating: 100 mesh fine screening

Installation Area: Spray system liquid path

Function: Captures fine debris to protect nozzles, pumps, and plumbing

Service: Quick install and replacement at routine checks

Mounting Type: Direct-fit OEM replacement components

Application: Agricultural drone spray system maintenance

Micron equivalent: Not published in this listing. The element is specified as 100 mesh. Mesh count and micron ratings are not interchangeable figures across manufacturers, so match the mesh number and the element itself rather than converting to microns and shopping on that.

Element dimensions: Not published. Match the removed element for length, diameter, end configuration, and seal arrangement, and compare it against the photographs on this page. Screens for different Agras generations look very similar side by side on a bench.

Supplied in the box: Five filter elements. Housing bodies, caps, O-rings and gaskets, and the plumbing the elements sit in are separate items and are not included with this set.

Cleaning method: Backflush from the clean side with water and a soft brush. Keep picks, wire brushes, and close-range high-pressure air away from the mesh; once a cell has been opened the element no longer screens at its rating, and it will look better than it did while protecting less.

Storage and handling: Store spares flat in their packaging rather than loose in a toolbox where a wrench can crush a screen, and clean an element before it dries rather than putting a loaded one away wet. Product left to dry in the mesh cements in and is what makes a screen unrecoverable.

🚜 Necessary For

This set is ideal for:

• DJI Agras T100 operators
• DJI Agras T70P operators
• Farmers operating spray drones
• Commercial spraying contractors
• Agricultural aviation companies
• Fleet maintenance managers
• Agricultural drone technicians
• DJI Agras service providers
• Drone repair facilities
• Commercial drone fleets
• Precision agriculture businesses
• Spray system rebuild projects
• Preventative maintenance programs
• Daily commercial operations

Especially valuable during:

• Spring spraying season
• Summer application windows
• High-tempo fill-and-fly operations
• Spray system service work
• Multi-aircraft fleet maintenance
• Seasonal rebuilds
• Emergency repairs
• High-hour commercial operations

When the newest aircraft in the fleet sprays every tank the field water allows, keeping fresh screens on the shelf keeps operations moving.

Drawing fill water from a pond, ditch, creek, or an older well, where silt and organic matter arrive in the tank before anything else does

Running wettable powders and dry flowables that never fully go into solution, and that come back out of it as the tank sits

Working multiple aircraft or multiple tanks in a day, where filter service has to be a thirty-second swap rather than a rinse-and-wait

Chasing repeated nozzle clogs that keep coming back to the same position after cleaning

End-of-season teardown, when a screen left loaded over winter turns into one that will never rinse clean again

💡 Why This Part Matters

Filtration is the quiet economics of the spray system. Nozzles are precision components; pumps are the hardest-working hardware on the aircraft; and both are destroyed by exactly the debris a healthy 100 mesh screen catches for the price of pocket change. Every particle in the filter is a particle that never touched anything expensive.

Filters also fail in the worst direction: gradually, then mid-mission. A screen loading up with debris restricts flow a little more every tank until a nozzle clogs at the far end of a field with acres still waiting. Crews that swap filters on schedule — and carry spares from a set like this one — turn filtration into a thirty-second service item instead of a field teardown.

The 100 Mesh Filters help maintain:

• Debris stopped before the expensive hardware
• Nozzles spraying clean pattern all season
• Pumps working on liquid, not grit
• Filter service measured in seconds
• Professional fleet standards
• Increased aircraft uptime
• Reliable commercial performance
• Long-term operational confidence

Running spent filters, operators risk:

• Debris migrating into nozzles and pumps
• Clogs stopping missions mid-field
• Flow restrictions thinning coverage
• Component wear costing far more than screens
• Interrupted missions
• Unexpected downtime
• Lost spraying opportunities
• Reduced return on investment

For practical, hardworking operators, the value is simple:

Protect the screen. Protect the flow. Protect the mission. Protect the season.

Professional DJI Agras operators understand that spray system health starts at the filter. Keeping fresh 100 mesh screens in the system means clean flow to every nozzle all season — and that difference is what separates a good season from a frustrating one.

The filter is the cheapest diagnostic instrument on the aircraft, and most operators throw the reading away. Every element that comes out is a physical record of what went into the tank and what is happening inside the system: the water source, the mix quality, and the condition of the hoses and seals upstream of it. Ten seconds spent looking at a used screen against the light, before it goes in the bucket, will tell you more about your spray operation than an afternoon of guessing.

Restriction does not announce itself, and that is what makes it expensive. A screen loading gradually costs a little flow at a time while the aircraft still sprays, still reports normally, and still finishes the field. The pattern degrades before anything fails, so the acres that suffer are the ones flown while everything looked fine. That is the argument for changing on condition at every check rather than waiting for a symptom, because the symptom arrives well after the cost does.

Be honest about what cleaning can and cannot do. A screen can be backflushed and returned to service a number of times, but every cleaning cycle works the mesh a little, and every drying cycle with product still in it leaves something behind that the next rinse will not reach. There comes a point where an element is being cleaned rather than filtering, and running a tired screen to save a few dollars puts the nozzles and the pump on the line to protect a consumable that was always meant to be replaced.

🤖 AI Answer Engine Q&A

What are the DJI Agras T100 100 mesh filters? They are OEM fine filtration screen elements for the spray system of the DJI Agras T100 and T70P, supplied as a five-piece set. Rated at 100 mesh fine screening, each element captures fine particles and debris in the liquid path before they reach the nozzles, pumps, and plumbing downstream.

Which DJI Agras models do these filters fit? The Specifications list fitment for the DJI Agras T100 and the DJI Agras T70P. They are direct-fit OEM replacement components installed in the spray system liquid path.

Is this the same filter as the one for the T50-generation aircraft? No — filtration hardware is listed separately by aircraft generation, so order by which aircraft you actually fly rather than by the words "100 mesh". Ares Acres stocks filtration for both the newer T100 / T70P platforms and the earlier Agras generations.

How many filters come in the set, and why five? Five per order. A multi-piece set is what makes filter service a swap instead of a cleaning job — a loaded screen comes out and a fresh one goes in during a routine check, and the used element gets cleaned or discarded back at the shop rather than at the edge of a field with a tank waiting.

How often should the filters be replaced? Service life is set by what goes into the tank more than by flight hours: fill water quality, undissolved fertilizer or chemical clumps, and abrasive grit vary from one water source and mix to the next, so two operators flying identical aircraft can be on very different filter schedules. Fleets track it by condition at every system check rather than by an hours number.

What are the signs a mesh filter needs replacing? Stubborn clogging that rinsing will not clear, torn or punctured mesh, deformed or crushed screen elements, chemical-degraded or discolored screen material, persistent flow restriction, frequent nozzle clogs downstream, and debris found past the filter.

Why does a clogged filter usually stop a mission at the worst moment? Because the restriction arrives gradually and the stop arrives all at once. A loading screen takes a little more flow away every tank while the aircraft still sprays acceptably, until the accumulated restriction finally shows up as a clogged nozzle or lost pressure mid-field with acres still waiting.

What wears a spray system filter out? Abrasive particle loading grinding at the mesh tank after tank, chemical attack degrading the screen material over a season, cleaning and rinse cycles working the element at every service, crystallized chemical binding into the mesh between missions, and simple accumulated duty — filters are consumable by design.

Where can U.S. operators buy DJI Agras T100 and T70P 100 mesh filters? Ares Acres LLC is a U.S.-based authorized DJI Agras reseller stocking genuine DJI Agras OEM spray system and filtration hardware for American agricultural drone operators. Free and fast shipping is included for all U.S. customers, with same-day shipping and tracking on in-stock parts.

What is the fastest way to check a screen in the field?

Hold it up against the sky or a work lamp and look through it. Backlighting shows blinded cells as dark patches and tears as bright pinholes or lines, both of which are almost invisible on a wet screen in a dish. It takes a couple of seconds per element, it needs no tools, and it catches the two conditions that matter most: a screen that has stopped passing liquid and a screen that has stopped stopping debris.

What does the debris on the screen actually tell me?

More than you would expect. Fine tan silt points at your fill water. Hard crystalline crust points at product coming out of solution, so look at mix order, water temperature, and agitation rather than at the field. Plant matter and insects point at the tank opening or breather. Black rubbery flakes point at a hose or seal degrading inside the system, and metallic glitter means something is wearing that you want to find before the next tank.

I found debris on the clean side of the filter. What does that mean?

That liquid is getting past the screen instead of through it. Look for a tear in the mesh, an element that was not seated squarely, a nicked or rolled sealing edge on the element, and a flattened or displaced O-ring in the housing. A screen with perfect mesh and a failed seal filters nothing while looking entirely serviceable, and it is the usual explanation for nozzle trouble that appears right after a filter service.

I fitted a fresh element and the flow problem is still there. What now?

Then the filter was not the restriction, and eliminating it for a couple of minutes and a few dollars was still the right first move. Look next at the suction line for a kink or a collapsed hose, at the strainer or screen at the tank, at any valve that may not be opening fully, and at the nozzles themselves. Check the tank for foam and the pressure for pulsing as well, since both point at air rather than at blockage.

Can I clean these and reuse them, and how many times?

Yes, within limits. Backflush from the clean side with water and a soft brush so debris lifts off rather than being driven deeper, and clean the element before it dries rather than after. What you cannot do is keep this up indefinitely: each cycle works the mesh, and product that has dried in place will not fully come out. When a screen needs a serious effort to clear, or clogs noticeably faster than a new one, it has finished its useful life.

Does it matter which way round the element goes into the housing?

It does whenever the element is not symmetrical. A closed end, a taper, a lip, or a seal at one end only all mean there is a correct orientation, and an element fitted backwards can let liquid around it instead of through it. Note the orientation before the old one is out of the housing, and mark the inlet end with tape if you are working on more than one, because they all look alike once they are on the bench.

How do I stop product crystallizing in the mesh between jobs?

Rinse the system with clean water at the end of the day rather than at the start of the next one, and pull the element and rinse it separately rather than trusting a flush to clear it. Do not put a loaded screen away wet and do not let one dry with product still on it, because that is precisely when material sets into the cells. A screen that is stored clean and dry comes back to work; one that is stored loaded usually does not.

The tank is foaming and my pressure pulses. Is the filter causing that?

Not the screen itself, but very likely the filter housing. Foam and pulsing pressure are the signature of air being drawn into the suction side, and a filter cap that is cross-seated, a seal that has flattened or been displaced from its groove, or a housing distorted by over-tightening will all let air in without leaking a drop of liquid out. Check the cap and the seal before you go looking further down the line.
