Campagnola Alice STAR ECO - 150-220 cm Aluminium Pole - Electric Olive Harvester

Campagnola Alice STAR ECO olive harvester is intended for any type of cultivation and breeding, even for olive trees ready for mechanical harvesting. For this reason, it is suitable both for well pruned and thick trees placed on level grounds or hills.

Designed to adapt to every working situation, it guarantees maximum results while respecting the integrity of the plant and fruit.

Thanks to the engine located at the bottom of the pole, the Alice Eco olive harvester offers an outstanding 50:50 balance, making it very practical in everyday use, this version also features the new 150/220 cm pole in super lightweight carbon fibre.

The aluminium telescopic pole can be adjusted to reach a maximum length of 150/220 cm, allowing even the tallest plants to be easily harvested.

The double rotary movement ensures effective removal of olives from the plants, allowing quick and efficient results.

• With 150/ 220 cm telescopic Aluminium pole

Made in Italy.

Typical and exclusive DUAL MOTION: while rakes swing from right to left, at the same time, the single prongs move in opposite rotary direction creating an ellipse of 8 x 7 cm that enables a wider collection radius. This special swinging and rotating motion reduces to minimum the vibrations transferred to the operator.

The most part of manufacturers rely on the old system with an easy horizontal right-left motion. Our innovative system with double elliptical counter rotating motion is technologically more advanced.

Amazing advantages:

• Bigger harvest capacity of each single rod
• Superior collection capacity over 50%
• Almost non-existent damage to twigs
• Drastically reduced vibrations (thanks to the 2 counter rotating motions that counterbalance)
• Bigger working radius of the 2 rakes. In fact, as they rotate they alternately approach and recede at high speed, reaching a considerable distance from each other on the receding phase, thanks also to the exceptional length of the teeth themselves. This reduces the frequency of movement of the rakes and their repositioning within the crown.

The Campagnola Alice is the battery-powered olive harvester with the highest hourly collection capacity. It can be used on well pruned and thin plants, or it can be introduced into and extracted repeatedly from not pruned and very thick plants (that do not allow the machine to slide through).

The head of this harvester, despite its large size, weighs only 1300 grams. The weight of the olive harvesters head, which can be found still today on the market, with the motor mounted on it weighs around 1800g.

The transmission in the head (without engine) is very slim and lightweight, virtually with a non-existent footprint. It offers a total manoeuvrability inside the foliage. Super-strong thanks to the construction of 2 cruises with very high resistance.

The rakes are made of sturdy thermoplastic RESIN of exceptional flexibility combined with extraordinary resistance.

The harvesting is carried out with very long prongs alternating with shorter ones.

The advantage is that the machine can easily penetrate between the branches, thanks to the more sparse front, but can also go deep thanks to the exceptional length of the prongs, which, compared to other olive harvesters with rakes on the market, are longer. The prongs are individually interchangeable one by one in case of accidental breakage (we supply 4 spare prongs as standard with the machine)

ADVANTAGES of the rake with long and short teeth:

• Better ability to penetrate the foliage.
• Higher respect of the tree and lower breakage of branches and leaves compared to other olive harvesters with the same length prongs.
• It can work on any type of olive, from the big table olives to the smaller ones and more difficult to detach, given the reduced distance between the short prongs and the long ones.

RELATED ADVANTAGES:

• improved penetration into foliage;
• Greater respect for the plant and practically zero twig and leaf breakage compared to all other hard-tooth harvester.

The engine at the end of the pole gives exceptional balance to this olive harvester model, which translates into less fatigue during use.
99% of the olive harvesters on the market today still mount engines at the head: a simpler and cheaper solution that makes the harvester extremely unbalanced in weight and very tiring to use.

It should not be forgotten that most of the time the harvester is gripped at the bottom of the pole, and if the weight is concentrated all over it, it becomes very heavy to handle and certainly impossible to use for a whole day.

When choosing an olive harvester, it is a mistake to consider only the total weight when assessing user comfort

The user comfort is given not by the total weight but from balancing weights, and then by mounting the engine at the bottom of the pole

Very powerful 325 Watt engine

* All the olive harvesters on the market are powered by a 100–300 Watt motors

It generates, despite the considerable size of rakes, up to 1200 rpm.

Support base with cable grommet. Provides full protection of the extension cable and the motor connection socket. Both in the working phase, when the cable is constantly being pulled, and in the other phase, when the machine is resting vertically on the ground.

New, very light aluminium telescopic pole (longer than the previous models) equipped with quick fixing.

Length of telescopic pole: 150/220 cm

*with the head mounted, the Alice assumes a length of approximately 3 metres with the rod at maximum extension.

The pole at such length is always the ideal configuration of this harvester, precisely because it fits the motor at the bottom of the pole

Perfect for use with shorter olive trees, we recommend to grip the pole from the middle to maintain a weight balance of 50%-50% (see diagram above) making its operation even more comfortable.
