This press release is about the Aquamog CCX in action. The machine is great for creating channels or getting rid of unwanted cattail plants from wetlands. This is by far the fastest and most efficient Aquamog when it comes to just emergent vegetation and cattail removal. Where other Aquamogs need to more than one tools 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 barge can remove cattails to a depth of three feet. The blades move 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 float on top of the water and are than easily picked up 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 dump.

Cattails are a good plant that serves a lot functions in nature. Cattails provide filtering of pollutants from wetlands, as well as provide nesting for birds and other wildlife.

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

The Aquamog equipment line was invented in the early 80s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family formed AU in 1974. Both Tom and Dave McNabb created the Aquamog brand 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, California have been working together on the Aquamog CCX project for about 10 years and in February 2009 the Aquamog CCX was introduced into the “Mog” family.
