Many product innovations were launched at EIMA International by Cifarelli. In the olive growing segment - one of the core businesses of the Voghera (Vicenza) manufacturer - the Elivo series electronic olive harvesters made their debut. Proposed in five variants, all powered by a brushless 880 engine, compatible with an automotive type battery and with a 52 Ah lithium battery, the new Cifarelli olive harvesters are equipped with carbon rods, available in a fixed or telescopic version (single or double speed). Within this range, the SB100 model is characterized by a contrasting movement while the SB200 has a parallel one. The new electric blower by Cifarelli will instead be marketed in 2019. The application comes with a sturdy battery of 5 Ah and 40, which powers a 620 W engine, ensuring a maximum of 90 minutes for less demanding tasks and 30 minutes for the heaviest work. Still in the blowers sector, the spotlight is also focused on the professional line BL1200 proposed in a Euro V version. The range includes a basic model, equipped with telescopic tubes that facilitate its use, and two professional models. The BL1200N blower is equipped with a side filter that allows the machine to offer high performance in harvesting areas or in the presence of bushes. These operational situations require a lower and less cumbersome application (so it does not get caught in the branches), i.e. without the upper filter. The BL1200V is also a professional model, but it is especially recommended for operators who prefer a large volume of air during work (BL1200V reaches up to 1,800 cubic metres).  The standard equipment also includes 100 mm outlet telescopic tubes for operations on wet surfaces. Lastly, the V1200PK and L3EVO models are also worth a look. The first is a side-mounted suction machine weighing only 16 kilos, which, powered by a 5-hp engine and equipped with a 6-metre suction hose, can also be used in combination with light vehicles. The L3EVO, on the other hand, is a shoulder atomizer designed for emerging countries (it is not available in Europe) and stands out for its great operational versatility.
