Campagnola Icarus V1 58 - Electric Harvester - 185/570 cm Carbon Rod

The ICARUS V1 58 harvester, produced by the Campagnola company, has been designed to work effectively on all varieties and methods of olive growing, showing exceptional versatility both on well-pruned and mechanised plants, and on the thickest ones, in plain or hill environments.

This tool has been designed with particular attention to each work scenario, ensuring optimal performance while maintaining total respect for the integrity of both the plant and the fruits harvested.

The ICARUS V1 58, thanks to the practical rod included, is not only one of the lightest harvesters on the market, but also incredibly powerful and performing, following the integration of a transformer that converts the battery from 12V (lead-acid car type) to 58V, making it one of the most effective harvesters ever sold.

Enriched with 8 long chopsticks made of pure carbon, this tool gently shakes the plant without causing damage, and also includes 2 spare chopsticks as a gift!

185/270 cm Carbon Model

Made in Italy

The engine at the bottom of the shaft gives the harvester exceptional balance, which translates into less fatigue during use

See the example diagram

Focus on the block containing the engine (located at the end of the pole)

Nowadays, however, 99% of olive harvesters on the market still mount the motor on the head, next to the rakes, the easiest and cheapest solution (because mechanically it is simpler), but that makes the harvester extremely unbalanced in weight and very tiring to use

It is important to remember that in most cases the harvester is gripped at the bottom of a pole, and if the weight is concentrated above all, it becomes really heavy to handle and certainly impossible to use a whole day.

That is why when choosing a harvester one should not only consider the total weight, as this alone is not an indication of comfort of use, especially for those harvesters that mount the engine on the head, where 80% of their weight concentrates. The comfort of use arises not from the total weight but from the weight balance And then from mounting the engine at the end of the pole.

• 3 speeds 1080- 1150- 1180 rpm

The rakes are made of the purest carbon and make a characteristic double side-to-side motion.

While combs swing from right to left, at the same time, the single prongs move in opposite rotary direction so creating an ellipse of 8 x 7 cm that enables a wider collection radius. This special swinging motion reduces to minimum the vibrations transferred to the operator.

Amazing advantages:

• Each prong can harvest many olives.
• Superior collection capacity over 50%
• Drastically reduced vibrations(thanks to the two rotate counterweight motions).

The Campagnola Icarus is one of the battery-powered harvesters with the highest hourly harvesting capacity. Unlike all harvesters on the market, there is no specific technique of use for the Icarus. It can be used like a comb on well pruned and thin plants.

On the other hand, it can be inserted and extracted repeatedly from the foliage in unpruned and very dense plants (which do not allow the machines to comb through).

The advantage is an exceptional ability to penetrate into foliage, thanks to the scattered front, and very deep thanks to the exceptional length of the teeth.

The most important features to consider when choosing a carbon pole instead of an aluminium one are:

• Higher sturdiness;
• More rigidity, thus higher control;
• It weighs 300 grams less than the aluminium ones;

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

• Length of the rotating aluminium telescopic pole: 185 -270 cm

* completed with the head, the olive harvester reaches a length of approx. 3 m with the pole at maximum extension.

The length of this pole is the ideal configuration of this olive harvester, because the motor is mounted at the end of the pole.

It is great with shorter olive trees, we advise to grip the pole from the middle to maintain a weight balance of 50%-50% (just like shown in the upper diagram) making it even more handy to use.

The rotating pole for electrical equipment is 100% made of Carbon, thus resulting robust and extremely light.

Professional-type interlocking grip. Support base with cable passage eyelet. It ensures total protection of the extension cable and the engine connection plug. 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.

The prongs are individually interchangeable one by one in case of accidental breakage (we supply 3 spare prongs as standard with the machine)

the most powerful engine on the market: an impressive 550 watts.
All harvesters on the market range from 100 to 300 watts.
It generates, despite the considerable size of the rakes, up to more than 1180 rotations per minute.
Professional brushless motor

In fact, in case of overheating, it is the only engine on the market that will stop and restart after it cools down (thus preventing it from burning out)

SUPER LIGHT-WEIGHT: 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.

Whatever brand they are, good or bad.

Equipped with the innovative PSS (Power Saving System), an automatic device that slows down the combs when they are not in contact with the plant, while accelerating them back to working speed as soon as they are reintroduced into the fronds.

This guarantees considerable energy savings (lower battery consumption) and less wear and tear on mechanical components.

The prongs feature an incredible flexibility combined with an extraordinary resistance.

RELATED ADVANTAGES:

• improved penetration into foliage;
• higher respect of the tree and lower breakage of branches and leaves compared to other olive harvesters with rigid prongs;
