This press release features the Aquamog CCX in action. The aquatic rig is made for creating channels or removing excess cattail plants from lakes. This is by far the fastest and most effective Aquamog when it comes to just emergent vegetation and cattail control. Where other Aquamogs need to many tools to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just digs right in to create new cleared water.
The Aquamog CCX with its 2 independent 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 work. Getting rid ofthe roots helps to prevent and limit re-growth in the area.
Once the roots are removed they float on top of the water and are than easily collected and removed from the lake using an aquatic plant harvester. The harvester takes the plant material to the shore for final placement and/or off site land fill.
Cattails are a beneficial plant that serves a lot functions in wetlands. They provide filtering of nutrients and some heavy metals from ponds, as well as provide nesting for birds and other animals.
But, if not properly controlled they can quickly turn into a large water plant issues that can be very hard and costly to handle. That is why the Aquamog CCX was built.
The Aquamog was developed in the early 80s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family founded Aquatics Unlimited in the 1970′s. Both Tom and Dave McNabb created the Aquamog name and line of machinery through out the 80′s and 1990′s while with Aquatics Umlimited. Tom continued the Aquamog line into the new century with the addition of the MarshMog. Tom’s new company Clean Lakes, Inc. (www.cleanlake.com) located in Martinez, California and Dave’s company DK Environmental (www.dkenvironmental.com) in Lafayette, CA have been working together on the Aquamog CCX project for about 10 years and in February 2009 the Aquamog CCX was welcomed into into the Aquamog family.
