The Aquamog CCX-238 in Action Cutting a New Channel Through a Thick Cattail Zone
This press release is about the Aquamog CCX in action. The aquatic rig is great for creating channels or getting rid of nuisance cattail growth from ponds. This is by far the fastest and most effective Aquamog when it comes to only emergent aquatic weeds and cattail control. Where other Aquamogs need to multiple attachments to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just gets after it to make new cleared water.
The Aquamog CCX with its 2 independent cutter blades in the front of the barge can displace cattails to a depth of 3 feet. The blades propel the vessel as well as do the root removal task. Removingthe roots can cut down on re-growth in the area.
After the roots are removed they remain on the surface of the water and are than easily collected and removed from the water body using an aquatic plant harvester. The harvester moves the vegetation to the shore for final placement and/or off site dump.
Cattails are a good plant that have alot functions in lakes. They provide filtering of heavy metals from ponds, as well as provide habitat and shelter for birds and other wildlife.
However, if not properly controlled they can quickly turn into a huge water plant issues that can be very hard and costly to handle. Thus the Aquamog CCX was created.
The Aquamog was invented in the early 80s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family formed AU in the 70's. Both Tom and Dave McNabb created the Aquamog name and line of equipment through out the 80's and 90'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, California have been working together on the Aquamog CCX project for about 10 years and in February 2009 the Aquamog CCX 238 was introduced into the "Mog" line.
