Berky 6530 Aquatic weed harvester, direct from use with UK Government department (Environment Agency)

Weed harvesters cut and collect weed and trash in a single operation, storing large volumes of debris until it can be emptied in a suitable location. Highly efficient, low noise with excellent stability and visibility, whilst being comfortable and safe to use for the operator.

Berkenheger Weed Harvesters have become a world-renowned machinery range, offering highly versatile and powerful machinery to cut and collect aquatic weed, along with other floating debris.

The machines simultaneously cut weed below the water line, and lift it onto the boat using a pair of conveyors. On its way onto the hopper conveyor, the weed is allowed to drain, reducing weight and allowing a much higher capacity to be stored. To empty the Weed Harvester, it is simply moored close to the bank, with the front conveyor raised before reversing the conveyors to place the cuttings in a tidy pile.
