MobyDick Dust Suppression Systems from FRUTIGER

FRUTIGER is a pioneer in developing solutions for dust control and suppression that prioritise the protection of health and the environment. Our MobyDick Dust Cannons represent the latest generation of dust suppression systems, developed in close cooperation with the Institute of Aerodynamics at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences. These robust and user-friendly fog cannons are ideal for industries such as construction, mining, or recycling, seeking effective and sustainable methods to reduce their dust emissions.

By utilising our advanced MobyDick dust suppression systems, which are based on the precise distribution of water droplets, we actively protect health and the environment. With over 30 years of experience in emission control, FRUTIGER stands as the ideal partner for companies looking for sustainable solutions to their dust issues. We offer not only sales but also maintenance of dust suppression systems and take care of the delivery and installation of spare parts. From initial analysis to successful implementation, we accompany our clients as a reliable partner.

The dust suppression systems of the MobyDick Cannon Line utilise the principle of dust control through the finest water droplets. A state-of-the-art high-pressure pump in combination with an efficient filter system and specially designed nozzles, along with an aerodynamically shaped cone (turbine), ensure the optimal size and distribution of water droplets. These are specifically sprayed onto dust sources, where they bind with dust particles and quickly bring them to the ground, leading to a significant reduction in dust pollution for people and the environment.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Dust control involves implementing measures to reduce or eliminate the emission of dust particles into the environment. Effective dust control is crucial for protecting human health, ensuring environmental safety, and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards. Uncontrolled dust can lead to respiratory issues, environmental degradation, and operational inefficiencies.

  • MobyDick Dust Control systems operate by generating fine water droplets that bind with airborne dust particles, causing them to settle quickly. This is achieved through a high-pressure pump, an efficient filter system, and specially designed nozzles within an aerodynamically shaped turbine. The precise distribution of these water droplets ensures effective dust suppression at the source.

  • Industries that commonly experience dust emissions can benefit from MobyDick Dust Control systems, including:

    • Construction: Managing dust from demolition, excavation, and material handling.
    • Mining: Suppressing dust generated during drilling, blasting, and transporting materials.
    • Recycling: Controlling dust from processing and handling recyclable materials.
    • Bulk Material Handling: Reducing dust during loading, unloading, and storage of bulk goods.
  • Utilizing MobyDick Dust Control systems offers several environmental advantages:

    • Water Efficiency: The systems use minimal water by producing fine droplets that maximize surface area coverage.
    • Chemical-Free Operation: Dust suppression is achieved without harmful chemicals, preventing environmental contamination.
    • Air Quality Improvement: Reducing airborne dust enhances overall air quality, benefiting both the environment and public health.
  • Selecting the right dust control solution involves assessing factors such as the type and volume of dust generated, the specific processes involved, and site-specific conditions. MobyDick offers both standard and tailor-made solutions to meet diverse requirements. Consulting with MobyDick specialists can help identify the most effective system for your operations.
