FRUTIGER presents the world’s quietest Dust Control Cannon. Through groundbreaking innovations and the use of high-quality composite fibres, our team has achieved an optimal aerodynamic design of the throwing body. The unit impresses not only with its efficiency, but also with remarkably low noise emissions.

MobyDick’s Cannon Line dust control systems work on the proven principle of dust control by means of extremely fine water droplets. The use of a modern high-pressure pump in combination with a high-performance filter system, special nozzles and an aerodynamically shaped high-performance cone (turbine) ensures optimum size and distribution of the water droplets.

Recently, a MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus 800C-50P wheel washing system was successfully installed in a Czech quarry. The plant has a generous 50m3 recycling tank and is capable of cleaning the tyres of up to 250 moderately dirty trucks daily. To ensure safety, a safety railing was installed around the tank, which is embedded in the ground and serves as a reliable fall protection. A scraper conveyor was integrated for automatic discharge of the washed-off dirt in the recycling tank. The control cabinet and the dosing pump for the automatic use of flocculant are housed in a specially insulated and heated container to ensure optimum protection against adverse weather conditions. An additional traffic light system ensures smooth operation.

The East Gate of Fangcheng Port functions as the main exit for cargo vehicles, and the port’s managers attach great importance to the cleanliness of the surrounding roads. To meet this high demand and the frequencies of around 4,000 moderately dirty trucks, Frutiger China commissioned two MobyDick wheel washing systems, each 17 metres long, from the port.

The customer in Italy has to wash some heavily soiled trucks every day, but has limited space and a limited budget. FRUTIGER has found the optimal solution: The MobyDick Dragon C wheel washing system.
The MobyDick Dragon C is a powerful and compact wheel washing system. It consists of a 3.30-metre-long washing unit with an integrated recycling tank and offers an extremely attractive price-performance ratio. The Dragon C model can wash up to 100 lightly soiled trucks per day and is quick and easy to install. A fully-fledged wheel washing system at a low price!

The ConLine KIT Plus line consists of a wide range of mobile and stationary wheel washing systems, which are particularly suitable for applications with high truck frequencies. The 800C-50P model is designed to wash approximately 200-250 heavily soiled truck wheels per day.
In France, FRUTIGER has recently installed another MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus 800C-50P wheel washing system. The system has various options such as the “backwash of the exit”. This option ensures that dirt particles from the cleaning water do not accumulate on the road surface. They are continuously flushed back into the system, thus reducing the carry-over of dirt and a build-up of dust in the exit area. The “third nozzle tube” option has also been installed, which increases the spray pattern and enables better cleaning of the wheel housings.

Recently FRUTIGER installed a MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus 600B-50P wheel washing system in a raw material plant in Germany. This system has the option “MobyDos Compact”, which allows the automatic addition of flocculant. A safety railing was also installed to provide reliable fall protection around the recycling tank and prevent people from falling into the tank in areas where there is a risk of falling.
The wheel washing systems of the MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus line are particularly suitable for operations with high truck frequencies. The model installed here can clean up to 250 moderately dirty trucks per day, thus ensuring clean public roads.

In the new FRUTIGER production facility in Changsha, China, the furnishing and decoration work just started. In the process, the office building of the new premises is to be designed and embellished. As is customary in China, fireworks were set off at the start of the project to bring luck and success. Before that, the contract was signed with the contractor who will carry out the project. We are excited to see the result!

To address the issue of public road pollution, the Nanchang municipal government aims to ensure that tires of cars and trucks on the roads are clean enough to meet the stringent environmental requirements set by the Chinese government.
Following a visit of the two MobyDick wheel washing systems in Ruichang City, Jiangxi Province, the Nanchang municipal government officials decided to set up a MobyDick wheel wash system as well.
