Discover leading Wheel Wash solutions by FRUTIGER, powered by advanced MobyDick technology. With over 4,000 systems installed worldwide, we're at the forefront of developing efficient and user-friendly Wheel Washing solutions for optimal wheel and vehicle cleaning. Our Wheel Wash systems, including roller wash stations and drive-through wash facilities, redefine performance and reliability standards. Our drive-through Wheel Washing stations are equipped with innovative vehicle detection sensors that automatically trigger the wash process, ensuring an effective and thorough cleaning of wheels and chassis. The precision-engineered nozzle system, with both ground and side nozzles, guarantees comprehensive cleaning during each wheel rotation, while maintaining the safety and visibility of the driver by keeping higher vehicle areas like windows and rearview mirrors untouched.

Another key feature of our Wheel Wash systems is the environmentally friendly water management system. Dirty water is directed into side recycling tanks, where it's treated by durable MobyPump submersible pumps for reuse, and settled solids are efficiently removed. This sustainable practice not only reduces water usage but also helps companies comply with environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • A wheel washing system automatically cleans a vehicle’s tires as it moves through the system, using recycled water to remove accumulated dirt and mud. This process prevents contaminants from being carried onto public roads, thereby maintaining cleanliness and safety.

  • There are two primary types:

    • Roller Systems: The vehicle stops, placing its wheels between rollers. A start bar triggers the washing process, during which the wheels are automatically turned and cleaned by water sprayed from multiple nozzles.
    • Drive-Through Systems: The vehicle drives slowly through the system, and a light barrier at the entrance triggers the washing process. Wheels and chassis are cleaned by water sprayed from numerous nozzles without the need to stop.
  • MobyDick wheel washing systems feature an eco-friendly water management system. Dirty water flows into side recycling tanks, where it’s treated by robust MobyPump submersible pumps for reuse, and settled solids are efficiently removed. This sustainable practice reduces water consumption and helps companies comply with environmental standards.

  • Key considerations include:

    • Site Requirements: Assess the size and type of vehicles, the volume of traffic, and the level of contamination.
    • Environmental Regulations: Ensure compliance with local environmental laws regarding water usage and discharge.
      Maintenance Needs: Consider the ease of maintenance and availability of support services.
    • Cost: Evaluate the initial investment against long-term benefits and operational costs.
      Consulting with our specialists can help tailor a solution to specific needs.
  • The installation time for a wheel washing system depends on the type of system and site conditions. Modular systems, such as drive-through models, can often be installed in a matter of days. In contrast, permanent systems requiring groundwork and custom configurations may take several weeks. MobyDick offers guidance and support to ensure efficient installation with minimal disruption to operations.

  • Regular maintenance is essential to keep a wheel washing system functioning efficiently. Key tasks include:

    • Inspecting Nozzles and Pumps: Ensure proper water flow and pressure.
    • Cleaning Recycling Tanks: Remove settled solids to maintain water quality.
    • Checking Electrical Components: Verify that all sensors and controls are operational.
    • Replacing Worn Parts: Replace brushes or other components subject to wear over time.
      MobyDick provides maintenance plans and technical support to help customers extend the lifespan of their systems.
