FRUTIGER recently delivered a MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex Mobile Mobile B Wheel Washing System for the site of a large construction company in Leipzig. Thanks to minimal excavation work, the system can be installed within a few hours. It is therefore ideally suited for short assignments and frequent relocations.

The MobyDick Dragon is the smallest wheel washing system in the FRUTIGER product range. The system is used wherever the pollution is low, or the problem is dust. The Dragon is capable of handling up to 100 vehicles per day and offers an excellent price/performance ratio. These advantages have also convinced the operator of a quarry near Bergamo IT, to purchase such a system to keep the roads around the area clean. Within a few seconds, all vehicles leaving the plant are now properly cleaned from the bottom and the side.

In August 2020, FRUTIGER was asked by a Canadian waste management company to project a wheel washing system for a new waste management site in Bécancour, Quebec. Approximately 60-80 trucks need to be washed daily at the site, but frequencies of up to 120 vehicles are possible. After a detailed consultation, the customer decided to purchase a MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus 800C-50P wheel washing system. The installation took place within a few days and the customer was enthusiastic about the high quality of the purchased MobyDick system.

Mobile wheel washing systems have the advantage over systems permanently installed in the ground, that no major excavation is required, and the system can therefore be set up within only a few hours. However, since mobile systems also have disadvantages, FRUTIGER recommends the use of mobile systems only for shorter operations or if, for example, an installation in the ground is not possible due to pipelines. For a new building of the renowned Shepperton Film Studios in Shepperton (UK) a mobile system of the type ConLine KIT Flex Mobile C was requested by the customer and installed within a few hours by the MobyDick installation team. Once power and water are connected, up to 100 trucks can be cleaned daily to avoid pollution of public roads.

For around 30 years, a MobyDick wheel washing system has been ensuring clean roads around the landfill site of a renowned remediation and waste disposal company near Leipzig. In recent days, the MobyDick system, which was getting on in years, was replaced by a new model. Thanks to comprehensive consultation, careful planning and an experienced installation team, the replacement was completed within a few days. The existing foundation and some components that are still in good condition will continue to be used in the future and do not have to be purchased again. Thanks to high quality, long-standing partnerships and a comprehensive service network, MobyDick wheel washing systems, which are still in daily use with well over a million washing operations, are no exception but can be found in many places!

FRUTIGER recently supplied and installed a high-performance wheel washing system of the ConLine KIT Flex model line for the concrete plant of a renowned concrete manufacturer in Avellino (Italy). A high-quality and fully galvanised MobyDick washing module, in combination with a 20m3 recycling tank, has since then ensured the reliable cleaning of all trucks leaving the plant. The pollution of the public roads in the vicinity has decreased considerably, which increases road safety and makes the residents particularly happy.

Our New Zealand partner, Condor Pumps, was recently awarded a contract to supply a MobyDick KIT Flex 400B wheel wash system with integrated water recycling system for up to 100 trucks per day. for the Sleepyhead Estate Project in Ohinewai, North Waikato NZ. We are proud through our partner with MobyDick to be part of such an incredible project for Waikato, creating around 2,600 new jobs and investing $1.2 billion in the region.

For one of the biggest construction and aggregate companies in the U.K, FRUTIGER has recently installed a MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex Kit Flex 400 Mobile C system on an exit road with limited space. The tank was installed through a fence so two-way traffic could pass. The mobile Kit Flex 400 wheel washing system is perfect for up to 100 trucks per day and can be set up and commissioned within only a few hours. The perfect solution for short assignments or if the system has to be moved frequently.

A few days ago, FRUTIGER UK was able to commission another Wheel Washing System MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex with a length of 4 metres. In this installation, the wash water is not treated in the recycling tank as usual, but is connected to the customer’s water treatment system by a 25-metre long pipe. From there, the treated water is fed back into the MobyDick recycling tank to be used for cleaning the vehicles. FRUTIGER is always happy to take on such and other special requirements and implement them in close consultation with the customer.
