This press release features the Aquamog CCX in action. The aquatic rig is made for making channels or removing nuisance cattail growth from lakes. This is by far the quickest and most efficient Aquamog when it comes to just emergent vegetation and cattail removal. Where other Aquamogs need to many attachments to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just gets after it to make new open water.
The Aquamog CCX with its 2 separate cutter blades in the front of the machine can remove cattails to a depth of 3 feet. The blades move the vessel as well as do the root removal job. Removingthe roots helps to prevent and limit re-growth in the area.
After the roots are removed they float on top of the water and are than easily collected and removed from the lake using an aquatic weed harvester. The harvester transports the plant material to the shore for final placement and/or off site disposal.
Cattails are a native plant that serves many purposes in nature. They provide filtering of heavy metals from the water, as well as provide habitat and shelter for birds and other animals.
However, if not properly maintained they can quickly turn into a huge aquatic weed problems that can be very difficult and costly to handle. That is why the Aquamog ccx was created. For more information visit www.dkenvironmental.com.
