This press release features the Aquamog CCX in action. The vessel is perfect for creating channels or removing excess cattail plants from lakes. This is by far the quickest and most effective Aquamog when it comes to just emergent aquatic weeds and cattail removal. Where other Aquamogs need to multiple attachments to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just digs right in to make new open water.

The Aquamog CCX with its 2 independent cutter blades in the front of the barge can remove cattails to a depth of three feet. The blades propel the vessel as well as do the root removal work. Getting rid ofthe roots can cut down on re-growth in the area.

Once the roots are removed they float on top of the water and are than easily picked up and removed from the lake using an aquatic plant harvester. The harvester takes the plant material to the shoreline for final placement and/or off site dump.

Cattails are a good plant that have a lot functions in lakes. They provide filtering of pollutants from ponds, as well as provide homes for birds and other wildlife.

But, if not properly maintained they can quickly turn into a large water weed problems that can be very difficult and expensive to handle. Thus the Aquamog CCX was made.

The Aquamog was created in the early 1980s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family created Aquatics Unlimited in 1974. Both Tom and Dave McNabb created the Aquamog brand and line of machinery through out the 1980s and 90s 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 welcomed into into the Aquamog family.
