BERKY Triton 550 Amphi - the amphibious aquatic weed harvester clearing ponds in Sri Lanka

The BERKY TRITON 550 Amphi, also known as Berky Type 6925 Weed Harvester is a unique machine. The compact dimension and the track system allow for moving the machine into the water without a crane. No additional assembly is needed. This allows for dry docking and for frequent location changes.
The machines shown in the video are used by the Irrigation Department of Sri Lanka for cleaning the water retention ponds all over Sri Lanka. There are thousands of ponds that are used as part of the Irrigation system of the Island Nation. The ponds suffer from water hyacinth. Which reduces the water quality by excessive shading. Additionally the amount of fish reduces, the usability for local people reduces and siltation starts. Reduced aquatic weeds ensure that the siltation of the ponds is reduced, which avoids expensive dredging efforts and ensures that the ancient water ponds can be used to combat the modern impact of climate change.

Looks like it could do with a barge alongside to have more holding capacity.

Hello Stuart, thank you for the comment. Indeed a barge can improve the collection rate of the aquatic weed harvesting process. But this requires that the overloading and unloading process to the barge and to land is significantly faster than the harvester travelling to shore. Our boats are equipped with two propellers to allow for decent acceleration and top speed, compared to the standard paddle wheel harvesters that can be found from other manufacturers. Thus eliminating the necessity of such a barge system in most cases. On large lakes or if the drop off point for the material is located in an remote area, barges do have their benefit.
We have made such options available for customers, which had to travel long distances.
