Instant quoteIn the construction industry, construction vehicles are an indispensable helper. When used in dirt and grime, however, the construction machines themselves can accumulate dirt. Regular, proper cleaning is essential to ensure that the machines have the longest possible service life. With demucking systems such as those from MobyDick, you can clean your construction machines – in the shortest possible time and a resource and environmentally friendly manner.
Clean construction machines: Here is why it is so important
Construction machinery provides valuable services in many areas. Machines such as wheel loaders, bulldozers, tippers, excavators, and other commercial vehicles are often in constant use on construction sites, landfills or extraction operations. It is not unusual for the machines to get dirty. Dust, dirt, sand, and earth are quickly deposited on the surfaces of construction machinery during operations.
How long you can use your construction machinery without problems depends to a large extent on how well it is cared for. If you clean the machines regularly, it not only takes longer until they reach the end of their service life but also the servicing of the machines is made much more comfortable, and necessary maintenance can be identified early on. This makes it less likely that costly defects will occur, causing the construction machinery to break down temporarily and expensive repairs to be necessary.
If dust and dirt settle on essential machine components, this can also impair their performance. Even the engine can be damaged if, for example, incrustations make cooling more difficult. In such a case, the motor has to work harder and thus shows signs of wear more quickly. Dirt on the windows and rear-view mirrors of construction machinery also significantly impairs visibility, which in turn increases the risk of accidents. Responsible companies, therefore, always ensure a clear view.
The manual cleaning of construction machinery is, however, time-consuming and leads to the fact that one of your employees cannot be deployed elsewhere during the cleaning. This does not have to be the case. Demucking systems that clean construction machinery removes coarse dirt from the equipment in just a few minutes.
Effective demucking systems for cleaning construction machinery
Demucking systems like those from MobyDick are specially designed for the effective cleaning of construction machinery and heavy equipment. Behind this is a technology that is similar to that of wheel washing systems. To clean construction machines, much water is used. It is sprayed from precisely positioned nozzles onto the construction machine at low pressure.
Unlike wheel washing systems, however, these demucking systems are designed to clean not only the tires but the entire vehicle. This requires a slightly different alignment of the nozzles. At the same time, such demucking systems are, depending on requirements, considerably shorter than wheel washing systems.
With wheel washing systems, things usually have to be done very quickly. Especially with very dirty tires, the wheel washing system must be comparatively long so that trucks and construction site vehicles can frequently drive back and forth in a short time. When cleaning construction machinery, time is usually less crucial. The machines can be shunted more slowly until all parts are roughly cleaned. This ensures that the machines can be made more compact.
Demucking solutions from MobyDick: Tailor-made for your needs
The demucking systems from MobyDick are tailor-made for your needs. They can be finely adjusted and are therefore optimally adjusted to the construction machines to be cleaned. For example, the washing unit and water recycling can be designed to harmonize best with the type of vehicles.
Which variant is the best solution depends, among other things, on the dimensions of your equipment and its unique construction and design. For example, the position of chains, wheels, and contours effect, as does the degree of soiling. These factors are taken into account to find an individual solution.
Is a rough cleaning of the construction machinery sufficient?
With the demucking systems from MobyDick, your construction machines are roughly cleaned. This is done quickly and is usually sufficient to maintain construction machines well. This prevents crusty dirt from causing damage to the equipment, for example, in the form of increased cooling requirements and the resulting higher engine load. The low-pressure technology effectively removes dirt, stones, clay, and dust.
Hardly any oil or grease is removed. The advantages of this are apparent: The remaining sludge can usually be disposed of quickly and economically. After all, it is often not contaminated with hydrocarbons and therefore poses no danger to the environment.
If a more thorough cleaning is required, this can still be carried out away from the demucking plant. Using high pressure, hot water, or both, the construction machinery can be cleaned by hand in a few minutes.
Cleaning construction machines with MobyDick: Here are the advantages
The innovative demucking systems from MobyDick are a valuable addition for all those who frequently use construction machinery. Such systems save time. If the construction machines have been cleaned manually by your employees so far, this probably took comparatively much time.
With demucking systems, it is no longer necessary for your team to do the cleaning themselves. The cleaning system does its job almost by itself – it only needs to be operated, and the construction machine maneuvered in. Your employees can quickly get back to other things. This makes the use of cleaning systems on your construction site particularly economical.
The use of demucking systems can also help to reduce costs. MobyDick demucking solutions use only water for cleaning. Thanks to a collection system in which the water is recycled, it can be used again for cleaning construction machines.
The cleaning itself is gentle for your construction machines. Surfaces and lacquers are not attacked. And the environment also benefits from the absence of aggressive cleaners. Fats and oils are usually not dissolved with this technology and therefore do not get into the environment.
MobyDick’s demucking systems are designed for long service life and are less susceptible to malfunctions. They are also easy to maintain. They can be used flexibly and in a space-saving manner in workshops and other areas as required.
