Local authorities in the municipality of Colta, Ecuador recently purchased an IMS Model 5012 LP Versi-Dredge® with a Weedmaster™ aquatic plant harvester and interchangeable horizontal cutterhead.
The idea behind the IMS Weedmaster was to convert the dredge system into a high production vegetation harvesting system that could pump shredded vegetation to the same discharge area as the silt and sand dredged from the bottom of a lake.
Most of the lakes in this region have become choked with floating, submerged and emergent weed masses – such as floating hyacinth, lilies, myrtle, grasses, cattail, willows and Palmetto palms – along with the usual build-up of silt and sediment.
