The Aquamog CCX-238 Cutting a New Channel Through a Dense Cattail Area

October 29, 2009

This press release features the Aquamog CCX in action. The machine is ideal for making channels or removing nuisance cattail plants from lakes. This is by far the fastest and most efficient Aquamog when it comes to only emergent aquatic weeds and cattail removal. Where other Aquamogs need to many attachments to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just digs right in to create new open water.

The Aquamog CCX with its two independent cutter blades in the front of the machine can displace cattails to a depth of three feet. The blades move the machine as well as do the root removal work. Getting rid ofthe roots limits 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 water body using an aquatic weed harvester. The harvester moves the plant material to the shoreline for final placement and/or off site land fill.

Cattails are a good plant that serves alot functions in nature. They provide filtering of nutrients and some heavy metals from lakes, as well as provide habitat and shelter for birds and other wildlife.

However, if not properly controlled they can quickly turn into a large water weed problems that can be very hard and expensive to handle. Thus the Aquamog CCX was built.

The Aquamog was created in the early 1980s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family started Aquatics Unlimited in the 70′s. Both Tom and Dave McNabb created the Aquamog brand and line of equipment through out the 1980s and 1990s 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, CA and Dave’s company DK Environmental (www.dkenvironmental.com) in Lafayette, California have been working together on the Aquamog CCX project for about 10 years and in February 2009 the Aquamog CCX 238 was welcomed into into the “Mog” family.
