PMC Aquatics, - Model reKVR -Lightweight and Portable Aquatic Weed Harvester
The reKVR is a lightweight and portable aquatic weed harvester, designed to manage invasive plants in marinas, golf course ponds, small lakes, and other waterways. Constructed from aluminum, reKVR offers a durable alternative to heavier steel and more fragile fiberglass constructions. It utilizes specially-designed inset paddlewheels for propulsion, avoiding problems associated with traditional propellers and jets, such as entanglement and blockages. With features facilitating ease of transport and operation, reKVR is manageable by a single individual and can be trailered across delicate grounds such as golf courses and maneuver into tight spaces like boat slips. This design allows for effective management of waterway ecosystems by enabling the user to approach challenging areas with minimal crew and equipment, thereby restoring ecological balance and keeping water features clear of invasive plant growth.
For decades we at PMC Aquatics, LLC., have been involved in building large aquatic harvesters and managing waterway recovery projects. It was working; we were removing evasive plants allowing for the waterway ecosystem to thrive and flourish again.
Seeing the vast growth of invasive weeds consuming the available oxygen, boat slips, entire marinas, and golf course water features it became clear a remedy was needed. We artfully used the H-8 but soon realized that more portable, lightweight solution was necessary. Boats were being turned away at marinas, activities were curtailed and when golfing we have seen the water hazards looking greener than fairways.
Our beautiful California winery ponds have been rendered useless for the same reason. The reality is, the invasive weeds are taking over our lakes and ponds. The current big industry commercial agriculture gear could not get into these spots, and if they did, they could not get close enough to do the job right or do it without a large crew.
One day while completing a honey-do-list mowing the lawn I realized I could cut grass with ease. Why not make cleaning up the marinas, golf course ponds, small lakes, and waterways as easy as a one-man-job of mowing your lawn? The journey began.
It was not easy to sculpt a design that fit the needed characteristics, much more than that.
The new design had to be:
Lighter to be transported more comfortably and have the ability to be trailered across softer and more delicate grounds (golf courses)
Smaller, to fit into places that small boats could go (boat slips)
Maneuverable so that you could get close to the shore or docks
Manageable, operated by a single operator (do it yourself).
reKVR ‐ is the newest generation of a aquatic weed harvesters. The reKVR is manufactured from aluminum, allowing it to be light, durable, and low operation maintenance. It can operate in a 10‐inch draft and carry more than 2000 pounds of product.
The reKVR utilizes its advanced hydraulics system for daily operations and a proven Kohler engine for its powerplant. It has inset aluminum paddle wheels, allowing the reKVR to maneuver close to docks and shorelines for efficient water cleanup. The reKVR can lower its cutting head down approximately 4 feet, allowing the cutting edges to harvest while utilizing the rear conveyor for an effective offloading.
The reKVR is built to be operated by a single operator from trailering to harvesting, allowing a low operation cost. The reKVR is made and assembled in America.
