1.Introduction of weed harvester
Weed harvesting ships are specialized vessels designed to remove aquatic plants like water hyacinth, algae, and reeds from water bodies. Key features include:
· Cutting/Collection: Hydraulic arms or cutting mechanisms (width 1.4-1.9m) harvest vegetation at depths up to 1m.
· Power: Diesel engines (26-70kW) enable 3-5km/h operation for 12-24 hours.
· Applications: Used in lakes, rivers, and ponds to maintain water quality and navigation capacity .

Cutting/Collection Mechanisms
The weed harvesting ships use rotating blades or cutting mechanisms to sever weeds at the water surface. Some models feature front collect arms (up to 6m long) that gather cut vegetation, while others use vacuum-suckers or trawls for collection.
Hydraulic Arms
Hydraulic arms extend from the cleaning ship's sides to position cutting tools precisely. These arms maintain a consistent distance from the water surface, ensuring efficient cutting while minimizing damage to the vessel.
Power Systems
Most models are powered by diesel engines (typically 76+ kW) that provide continuous operation for up to 24 hours. The engines drive both propulsion systems and hydraulic components for cutting/collection operations.
Operational Capabilities
Working width: 1-1.5 meters
Cutting depth: Up to 1.2 meters
Speed: 3-5 km/h during operation, 5-8 km/h during traveling
Capacity: 12,000 m²/hour
These cleaning ships are commonly used for river management and environmental protection projects to maintain water quality and navigation channels.

4.Advantages
1. Save labor: the work efficiency of one weed harvester is equivalent to the work efficiency of 30 people.
2. Convenient transportation: On the premise of ensuring the rigidity of the lawn mower, the weed harvester weight is reduced as much as possible, so that the turning pond can be easily lifted manually.
3. Unique design: reduce the distance between the scissors part and the conveying part to prevent the cut grass from falling into the water.
4. Convenient disassembly: The scissors part, the conveying part, and the hull can all be disassembled and repaired conveniently, and the conveying spindle is not welded.
5. Reduce water ingress and prolong service life: The steel pipe of the conveying frame is fully enclosed, and water cannot enter the steel pipe, which can reduce rust and extend the service life.
6. Easy to use: Insert a 48V battery pack and press the switch to use it easily.
