Washing construction equipment, military vehicles, and railcars with FRUTIGER Demucking systems
MobyDick Demucking systems from FRUTIGER Company AG address the issue of heavily soiled construction equipment, military vehicles, and railcars. The use of this innovative technology facilitates and accelerates repair and service work. The Demucking technology is based on the proven washing technique and water recycling of MobyDick tire washing systems. The systems operate with moderate pressure and a lot of water to wash construction equipment, military vehicles, or railcars. A special nozzle arrangement is required to ensure an effective washing result.
While wheel washing systems typically only wash the parts of the vehicle that can carry dirt onto the road, the goal of a Demucking system is to thoroughly clean the entire vehicle. There is usually enough time for this, so the washing platform can be designed to be shorter.
The low pressure reliably removes coarse contaminants such as soil, stones, clay, or coal dust without removing oils and grease.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Demucking is an automatic cleaning technology designed to remove heavy dirt and debris from construction machines, military vehicles, and railcars. By thoroughly cleaning the chassis, underbody, and crawler tracks, Demucking facilitates and accelerates repair and service work, ensuring vehicles operate efficiently and safely.
-
The Demucking process involves two main steps:
- Coarse Cleaning: Utilizing moderate pressure and a high volume of water, over 80% of dirt is removed without the use of chemicals.
- Fine Cleaning: For more stubborn residues, a fine cleaning is performed using high-pressure lances, effectively removing any remaining contaminants.
This method ensures a thorough cleaning while being environmentally friendly.
-
Demucking systems are versatile and can be used for:
- Construction Equipment: From mini excavators to large machinery like the D-12.
