FRUTIGER at bauma 2022

For the 17th time, the Swiss company FRUTIGER Company AG, with the well-known promise “a whale, a promise!”, was present at bauma in Hall B5/Stand 224 and once again clearly underlined its worldwide leading role in the areas of wheel washing systems, dust control and demucking.

This year, a large focus was placed on the demucking division (rough cleaning of construction and military vehicles). FRUTIGER drew attention to the problems of tedious, time-consuming manual washing by hand with a dirty caterpillar carrier on the stand. The demucking technology allows to remove most of the dirt on wheeled and tracked vehicles automatically with low pressure and without cleaning agents. Numerous operators of large construction machinery fleets were highly interested in the automated solutions for cleaning their machines.

In the field of dust control, FRUTIGER presented a new, adaptive generation of dust control systems, which were developed with the support of the Institute of Aerodynamics at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences. The modern MobyDick dust control systems work on the principle of dust control by the finest water droplets and offer excellent efficiency with minimal noise emissions. Throw distance, spray pattern as well as water and power consumption can be freely selected and allow flexible reaction to changing operating conditions at any time.

Also on show was the MobyDick ONE wheel washing system – a system that can be individually adapted to the customer’s needs. Thanks to new driving profiles and an improved nozzle position, as well as the flow-optimised geometry of the washing modules developed in cooperation with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), a much higher washing power is possible with the ONE, in contrast to a conventional wheel washing system. The functionality, quality and washing performance of this unique system convinces even very demanding customers.

FRUTIGER Company AG looks back on seven successful trade fair days, thanks all visitors for the interesting discussions and looks forward to welcoming you soon at Conexpo in Las Vegas, IFAT or Steinexpo.
