Frutiger has been a consistent presence at the bi-annual Hillhead Exhibition since 2012, fostering strong relationships with both existing and new customers by discussing their requirements. The Hillhead Exhibition, the largest event of its kind, showcases the latest in quarrying, construction, and recycling equipment.
Held in a working quarry, this year’s event posed a challenge due to record temperatures, but it ultimately resulted in another successful outcome for the company.

FRUTIGER recently installed a MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus 800B-50P wheel washing system for an earthworks company in Germany. In the customer’s quarry and landfill site, the system demonstrates its strengths particularly with extremely dirty and sticky materials.

FRUTIGER has successfully installed a MobyDick ConLine KIT 600MB Wheel Washing System for a leading full-service provider in the mineral construction industry in Northern Europe. The installation was carried out seamlessly over the weekend to ensure an uninterrupted workflow from Monday to Friday. The site, which is operated by a large group of companies, relies on the system to comply with its license to operate. With a capacity of up to 500 truck cleanings per day and an increased width of 3 meters, the system handles heavy soiling efficiently. The customer is extremely satisfied with the outstanding cleaning and recycling capabilities of the MobyDick wheel washing system.

What does a football pitch have in common with a building site? At first glance, the answer may seem surprising, but both benefit from MobyDick dust control technology. In Iceland’s breathtaking scenery, characterised by changeable weather, indoor halls create a weather-independent playing environment for football enthusiasts.

Last week, the installation team from Frutiger CZ s.r.o. completed the successful installation of the MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex 400 MC mobile wheel washing system at an extensive construction site in Košice, Slovakia. This advanced system, which was specially designed to meet the requirements of the construction industry, will be in operation there for almost two years on a rental basis. Its modular design includes a robust washing system measuring four metres in length, practical entry and exit ramps and an efficient recycling tank. Equipped with a scraper conveyor and a flocculant dosing pump, this system enables accelerated sludge separation and is capable of cleaning up to 100 moderately soiled trucksper day. The system can be commissioned immediately after completion of the access roads by the customer, with the entire installation completed within a single working day.

With the recent commissioning of a MobyDick KIT Plus 800B-50P wheel washing system at a new landfill site near the headquarters of FRUTIGER Company AG, the operator, a leading building materials producer in the region, has made a clear statement against the contamination of public spaces by emissions from the storage site. Designed to handle medium to heavy contamination, the system can efficiently clean up to 200 trucks daily. This proactive measure ensures that the streets around the landfill are free from contamination right from the start. This not only significantly improves coexistence with traffic participants and residents but also exemplifies how targeted actions and the use of advanced cleaning technologies can significantly reduce burdens on public spaces.

The construction of a 400-bed hotel and a 3,000-fan zone is underway at the Etihad Football Stadium. To comply with operational regulations, a permit was obtained for the construction project, mandating the use of a wheel washing system to maintain cleanliness on the surrounding roads. The chosen solution is the MobyDick ConLine KIT 400MB wheel washing system, capable of handling light to medium soiling conditions, and it will be relocated as needed during the project.
Despite the challenge of limited space, a 20,000-liter recycling tank was strategically placed over 10 meters from the wash pad. The customer expressed satisfaction with the system’s washing performance and recycling capability, allowing them to focus on completing the project efficiently.
