AUTOMATED EQUIPMENT FOR CUTTING, RECOVERING, COLLECTING, AND CHOPPING AQUATIC PLANTS

Abstract

The invention relates to a self-propelled device for processing aquatic vegetation in water bodies. The device is mounted on a floating vessel and comprises a primary chopping unit, a plant collection nozzle, a cutting system, a primary conveyor belt with an anti-slip gripping assembly, a secondary chopping unit, further transport conveyor belts, a propulsion mechanism consisting of a water wheel and / or hydraulic propeller, a multi-chamber enclosed floating pontoon, and a sliding platform assembly. These units are arranged in a continuous processing sequence to perform chopping, cutting, collection, transport, shredding, storage, and discharge of materials, thereby improving efficiency and adaptability to various water body conditions.
