FRUTIGER India took this opportunity to introduce the innovative MobyDick product range to the numerous representatives of renowned mining companies.

Another MobyDick wheel wash system was recently delivered for the customer «Golf World» in England. The system will be used in a construction project, with 9-hole golf course being expanded into an 18-hole golf course, which includes the construction of a new hotel and business center. The mobile system will be moved several times during the deployment period at the project site and will be also temporarily used as a stationary system (in the ground). The installation of the system took only a few hours and the customer is very satisfied with the washing performance of the system.

Friday, 12/22/2017 we celebrated our annually Christmas Dinner. We met in Winterthur on the beautiful landscape of hills in the restaurant “Eschenberg.” The path among the forest led us through a narrow street surrounded by firs and trees. Once we arrived, we could enjoy an aperitif. Since it was very cold and rainy, the mulled wine was exactly what we needed to rehash. Afterwards we enjoyed a tasty “Fondue Chinoise” with plenty of sides in a great location – a converted cowshed!

Frutiger Company AG continues to strengthen their position as No.1 worldwide supplier of Wheelwashing and Demucking Systems through exhibiting at the IME Mining Exhibition this month held in Kolkata, India.

According to the slogan “One Brand – One Partner” in the field of Site Emission Control, FRUTIGER served a Swiss Tunneling Site Project with three Dust Control Cannons and a ConLine Kit Plus Wheel Washing System. Thanks to these leading solutions from the MobyDick Product Range the environment around the site is now protected against pollution, both on the road and in the air.

Smiths of Bletchington Ducklington Mill Site has undergone a major expansion in 2016 and Frutiger were pleased to be confirmed as supplier of the Wheelwash system for the site. A 939G system was selected with 4 washing pumps but this was a unique installation. Smiths wanted to install a system that utilised the ponds on site for washing and also recycling. To achieve this supply water was pumps 250 meters to a supply tank controlled by a float switch and the waste from each wash was pumps 250 meters to another settlement area. A fully automatic solution was achieved and the system is cleaning to a high standard to ensure the roads outside the site are always kept clean.
