Overview
The Hobbywing XRotor 30L brushless water pump (flexible impeller type) is designed for large agriculture drones that need stable, high-flow liquid delivery. It supports 12–18S Li-Po power, delivers 20 L/min rated flow and up to 30 L/min max flow, while keeping weight to about 516 g. With integrated temperature and over-current protection, low vibration/low noise operation, and a sealed housing for harsh field environments, it’s a reliable choice for spraying systems that prioritize flow rate and durability.

Plumbing & Installation Notes
-
Ports are clearly marked IN/OUT; use hose sized for 20.53 mm OD fittings (recommended 19 mm ID hose).
-
Self-priming helps when the pump mounting position is constrained by tank structure.
-
Important nozzle requirement: this is a non-pressure pump and is intended to be used with centrifugal nozzles. It is not compatible with pressure-type spray nozzles that require pump pressure.
Fluid Compatibility for Agriculture Spraying
Designed for common agrochemical spraying mixtures, including:
-
Water-based solutions
-
Emulsifiable concentrates
-
Suspension concentrates
For best reliability, always flush the system after use and confirm chemical compatibility with your specific formulation and hose materials.
Applications
-
Large agriculture drone spraying systems
-
High-flow pesticide/fertilizer liquid delivery lines
-
UAV liquid circulation and transfer in agricultural payload modules
