Campagnola Alice STAR ECO - Electric Olive Harvester - 185-270 cm Carbon Rod

The Campagnola ALICE STAR ECO 185/270 cm harvester with carbon rod represents an exceptional evolution in the field of olive harvesting tools.

Equipped with a rod made of high-quality carbon, this harvester guarantees extreme lightness without compromising strength and durability. The telescopic rod adjustable from 185 to 270 cm allows you to easily reach olives even in high positions or difficult to access.

The Alice STAR ECO harvester is designed to offer superior performance and optimal comfort during use. Thanks to the positioning of the engine in the lower part of the rod, a perfect balance is achieved, facilitating operation and reducing operator fatigue.

This model of Campagnola Alice STAR ECO harvester stands out for its efficiency in harvesting olives, even the most tenacious ones, making them fall precisely within the perimeter of the tree.

In addition, the Alice STAR ECO harvester stands out for high quality construction and great reliability. The combination of durable carbon rod and powerful engine ensures long life and consistent performance over time.

Campagnola, with its consolidated experience and attention to detail, has developed the Alice STAR ECO 185/270 cm harvester with carbon rod to offer a product of excellence, able to meet the needs of professionals in the agricultural sector.

With the Alice STAR ECO 185/270 cm harvester with carbon pole, high efficiency in olive harvesting is achieved, combined with the comfort and resistance needed to face any challenge in the field.

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

• Higher sturdiness;
• More rigidity, thus better control;
• It weighs 300 grams less than its aluminium counterpart;

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

• Length of the rotating telescopic carbon 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.

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 covers, made entirely of magnesium alloy, protect from dust, dirt and bumps all the kinematics that transmit the movement to the rakes.

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 prongs:

• 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.

The engine at the end of the pole gives this olive harvester exceptional balancing, which translates into less fatigue during use.
However, 99% of harvesters on the market today still feature the motor at the head: which is an easier and more affordable solution that makes the harvester extremely unbalanced 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.
