Military vehicles have to meet many requirements in everyday use. They are usually used in an environment that is dirty and can affect vehicles. This is why regular, proper cleaning of military vehicles is so important. The vehicles are cleaned of coarse dirt in special tank washing systems. This extends the service life of the vehicles and makes them less susceptible to defects and malfunctions.
That’s why it’s essential to clean military vehicles regularly.
Military vehicles are extremely robust. They have to be, because in everyday life they have to prove themselves even under adverse circumstances. They are mostly used in off-road areas and have massive components that are so easily damaged by nothing. However, the fact that military vehicles are heavy, resistant vehicles does not mean that regular cleaning should be neglected.
Military vehicles are manufactured for use in a dusty environment. However, the proper cleaning of the vehicles is not only a question of appearance, but also of safety and long-term use. In the course of time, dirt and grime appeared in the form of a layer of dust on military vehicles.
Dust does not only settle on the surfaces, but after a certain period of use is also found in fine openings, on the tyres and chains and on the underbody of the vehicle. Stones, sand and clay adhere to the vehicle when it is used in an appropriate environment.
Dirt and dust can clog the vehicle
This layer of dirt can affect the military vehicle. On the one hand, this may affect the material if it suffers from environmental influences. But that’s not all, because dirt can also affect the safety of military vehicle use.
A dirty vehicle can overheat, for example, if the engine can no longer be cooled sufficiently because the ventilation is dirty. In addition, the operation of the vehicle demands more from it in such cases. This can also affect the vehicle over time.
If there is a defect or malfunction as a result of soiling, the vehicle may fail for its current use. This can cause further problems and additional costs if the failed vehicle has to be replaced temporarily. You can save this lost time by ensuring that your military vehicles are cleaned regularly and professionally. Many problems do not even occur with it.
Removing dirt and debris from military vehicles in tank washer systems
When military vehicles are used, it is inevitable that they will gradually become more and more polluted. Anyone who cares about maintaining the value and safe functioning of the vehicle will ensure that the military vehicle is cleaned at the necessary intervals and when necessary. This is the only way it can be used in the long term. Conversely, a vehicle that has been cleaned too rarely quickly loses its value and may only be used for a much shorter period than is theoretically possible.
Automatic tank washing systems are increasingly being used for cleaning military vehicles. The pioneer in this field is FRUTIGER Company AG with its MobyDick brand, based in Switzerland. Since the end of the 1950s, the FRUTIGER Group has been dealing with everyday problems caused by dirt and grime in the construction and environmental sectors. This experience of many years is reflected in the versatile offers of the company. This also includes the cleaning of military vehicles.
Military vehicles are cleaned of coarse dirt in an armoured car wash. Thanks to the innovative design of the washing systems, this can be achieved in the shortest possible time. The mobile washing systems can be set up where they are needed. This saves you time and travel when your military vehicles need to be cleaned. The actual cleaning process is very fast. According to this, the military vehicle is much cleaner than before. Even adhering stones and coarse dirt can be removed without any problems.
The military vehicle can then be additionally cleaned by hand, if desired or necessary. To maintain the functionality of the vehicle, however, rough cleaning with the tank washer is usually sufficient.
How military vehicles are cleaned in the washing plant
The FRUTIGER Company AG offers solutions for the cleaning of military vehicles, machines and other equipment. The traditional Swiss company also offers cleaning options for rail vehicles. Demucking heavy vehicles and machinery works with water and light pressure.
In a tank washing plant, the military vehicles are cleaned from all sides with targeted water jets and lots of water. Dirt and dirt are washed away in a short time. In the wash cycle, moderate pressure is used to sufficiently clean the military vehicles. The nozzles of the car wash work selectively and do not attack the surface of the vehicle. Due to the renunciation of cleaning substances and high pressure, oily substances are usually not rinsed off during cleaning, or only slightly. This has a clear advantage for the operators of the washing plant: the resulting dirt can usually be disposed of without problems and at low cost.
With a MobyDick washing system you protect the environment – and your wallet
If, on the other hand, large quantities of oils and greases were contained (e.g. during high-pressure cleaning), simple disposal of the sludge would no longer be possible without further ado. This would make disposal – and thus effectively cleaning the military vehicle – more expensive. As an operator, you save money by relying on cleaning with water. Other problematic substances, such as environmentally harmful cleaners and other additives, are not necessary to clean the military vehicle of coarse dirt.
The operation of a MobyDick tank washing system is also particularly resource-saving. The systems score with their comparatively low maintenance requirements. The water used for cleaning can also be used again and again thanks to the integrated water recycling system. This prevents water wastage – and thus higher costs for the cleaning of military vehicles. With such a car wash you also do something good for the environment and the planet and reduce your CO2 footprint noticeably.
MobyDick regulates the cleaning of your military vehicles
With MobyDick, the Swiss company FRUTIGER Company AG has created a brand that enjoys an excellent international reputation. It is one of the leading manufacturers of demucking systems for construction machinery, rail vehicles and military vehicles. The great expertise of the employees ensures that MobyDick’s car washes work as efficiently as possible and are always gentle on the vehicles to be cleaned.
Depending on the degree of soiling, the cleaning is individually adapted to the military vehicle and its condition. In any case, the rough cleaning in the FRUTIGER tank washing system takes place within the shortest possible time. You can look forward to an optimal result that will extend the life of your military vehicle.
Another advantage of MobyDick’s washing systems is that they take up very little space. Therefore, they can usually also be set up in smaller areas without any problems. This means that they can usually be easily integrated into an existing system and do not require any additional space.
In addition to tank washing systems, wheel washing systems from MobyDick are also available. These are optimal if you only want to clean the tyres of military vehicles. Cleaning is even faster here and the car washes can be set up conveniently according to your wishes. To clean the entire vehicle, however, a demucking system such as an armoured car wash is required. This is the only way to ensure that your military vehicles are in perfect condition and can always be cleaned quickly and as required.
