Operation Principle

In the process of dust suppression through water droplets, water is finely sprayed so that the water droplets can combine with dust particles in the air. The size of the water droplets is crucial. They must be large enough to capture the dust particles, but small enough to remain suspended in the air and not immediately fall to the ground. When the water droplets encounter dust particles, they envelop them. This connection increases the weight of the dust particles, causing them to fall to the ground and thus be removed from the air.

In all MobyDick Multi models, specially developed or carefully selected highly innovative and high-quality components are used, maximizing the output from the resources used (electricity and water).

MobyDick High-Performance Projectiles with Stators

The core element of any dust suppression system is the projectile. Therefore, the engineers at FRUTIGER, in close cooperation with the Institute for Aerodynamics at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, have developed a novel projectile for our dust suppression systems, combining peak efficiency with forward-looking functionality.

Its innovative design stabilizes the airflow, leading to a strong, precisely targeted airflow. This distributes the water droplets specifically and maximizes dust suppression. The integration of stators further stabilizes the airflow, additionally enhancing the efficiency of dust suppression.

Made from a high-quality composite fiber, the projectile impresses with its exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring lasting functionality even under harsh conditions. The material used drastically reduces vibrations compared to steel solutions, resulting in significant noise reduction and thus improving the work environment.

In case of damage, the projectile can be quickly and effectively repaired using commercially available polyester resins. This reduces maintenance times and maximizes the availability of the system.

This innovative projectile redefines the standard for effective dust suppression. In comparative scientific studies, it has demonstrated its superiority in terms of efficiency – the conversion of energy used into throwing power – and in terms of low noise emissions compared to other dust suppression systems.

MobyDick Nozzle Head (Multi Models)

The MobyDick nozzle head, specially designed for the Multi models and developed in Switzerland by the FRUTIGER engineers, marks a significant advancement in the efficiency of dust suppression. Equipped with 15 special stainless steel nozzles, this robust aluminum-made nozzle head enables an additional discharge of 1800 liters of water beyond the standard configuration of a 30-nozzle ring. This innovation enhances the dust-binding capability of the MobyDick systems by over 30%, making the system even more versatile in combating dust.

Its targeted droplet projection feature produces a focused water jet, making it particularly suitable for precise dust suppression – ideal for specific requirements such as demolition work. This nozzle head is an essential upgrade for anyone needing effective and precise dust suppression.

MobyDick Pump for Dust Suppression

All MobyDick Single and Multi dust suppression systems are equipped with a multistage centrifugal pump, representing an extraordinary combination of performance and efficiency. With the capacity to deliver up to 5500 liters per hour at a pressure of up to 20 bar, this pump is tailored to the needs of demanding dust suppression processes. A key advantage of this multistage centrifugal pump lies in its ability to ensure a continuous and uniform water supply. This feature is crucial for effective suppression of dust particles, as it allows for a consistent moisture provision that efficiently binds dust at its source and minimizes its spread.

The robust construction of the pump guarantees its reliability even under the most demanding conditions. This durability, combined with the capability for low-maintenance operation, makes it an indispensable part of dust suppression systems. Overall, the multistage centrifugal pump from MobyDick offers a lasting and efficient solution to the challenges of dust control in industrial and construction environments, making it an ideal choice for projects with the highest standards of environmental protection and occupational safety.

MobyDick Frequency Converters (Multi Models)

Another distinct feature that sets all MobyDick Multi models apart from other systems is the integrated frequency converters. This technology allows the user to precisely control the fan speed, enabling a continuous adjustment of the throw distance, energy consumption, and noise emissions at any time. The ability to flexibly and precisely adjust these key elements represents a significant advantage compared to systems that only have a fixed throw distance.

Fine-tuning to the specific operational conditions ensures optimal dust control at all times. Particularly under changing weather conditions or in scenarios where the availability of power resources is limited, as well as in urban environments where noise emissions play a critical role, the MobyDick Multi models demonstrate their unmatched operational flexibility.

MobyDick Nozzles for Dust Suppression

Specially manufactured for MobyDick dust suppression systems, these nozzles create an exceptionally fine mist that spreads evenly across a wide area. The hollow cone spray pattern is specifically designed to produce an optimal droplet size, heavy enough to effectively bind dust particles from the air and bring them to the ground, without saturating the surroundings. This technology allows for targeted application, reduces water consumption, and prevents the formation of puddles or moisture accumulations.

Made from stainless steel, these nozzles are not only robust and long-lasting but also resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use under a variety of conditions.

Siemens LOGO

In MobyDick systems for dust suppression, the Siemens LOGO! serves as the central control unit, specifically designed for seamless integration and efficient communication with other system components. This control unit is characterized by its compact size and user-friendliness, making it ideally suited for use in our demanding environments. With Siemens LOGO!, customers benefit from a control solution that not only simplifies handling but also impresses with its reliability and flexibility. Its adaptability allows for precise control of various functions and processes in dust suppression systems, optimizing the effectiveness of dust control.
