Campagnola Alice STAR 58 PLUS 185-270 cm - Electric Harvester - Backpack Battery included

The 'Campagnola Alice STAR 58 PLUS 185-270 electric battery-powered harvester with included backpack battery is a reliable machine designed for harvesting plants, offering excellent performance and ease of use.

Equipped with a 58V induction engine and a rated power of 350W, this harvester guarantees optimal energy efficiency during work.

The carbon telescopic pole can be adjusted to reach a maximum length of 270cm, allowing even the tallest plants to be easily harvested.

The head of the harvester is made of magnesium and aluminium, ensuring solid strength and lightness for better control during harvesting.

The double rotary movement at a speed of 1180 strokes per minute ensures effective removal of olives from the trees, allowing fast and efficient results.

The included backpack battery, with a capacity of 14 Ah, offers a wide working range, allowing you to harvest a significant amount of plants without interruption.

This harvester is characterised by a position of the engine at the end of the rod, ensuring better balance and greater stability during use.

Made entirely in Italy, the Campagnola Alice STAR 58 PLUS 185-270 electric battery-powered harvester with included backpack battery is a great choice for agricultural professionals looking for a reliable and high-performance plant harvester.

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

Thanks to a 12-58V transformer inside the machine, it is possible to use a simple battery (12V car type) to fully exploit the entire 58V power supply.

Focus on the overhead transmission (Engine free), very slim and light

Nowadays, however, 99% of olive harvesters on the market still mount the engine 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

• position I: the combs perform 1080 rotations per minute
• position II: the combs perform over 1150 rotations per minute
• position III: the combs perform over 1180 rotations per minute

The rakes are made of extra-flexible thermoplastic resin and have a characteristic and exclusive DOUBLE MOVEMENT.

While combs swing from right to left, at the same time, the single prongs move in the opposite direction, creating an 8X7 cm ellipse that allows a larger collecting 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%
• breakage of the almost non-existent twigs (while the only horizontal movement right-left of the competition being very violent creates the detachment of many twigs)
• Drastically reduced vibrations (thanks to the two counter-rotating motions that counterbalance each other, lowering the vibration level)).
• 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. Unlike all harvesters on the market, there is no specific technique of use for the Alice. 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 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 combs on the market, are longer.

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.

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 350 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 engine.

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;
