Friday, 12/22/2017 we celebrated our annually Christmas Dinner. We met in Winterthur on the beautiful landscape of hills in the restaurant “Eschenberg.” The path among the forest led us through a narrow street surrounded by firs and trees. Once we arrived, we could enjoy an aperitif. Since it was very cold and rainy, the mulled wine was exactly what we needed to rehash. Afterwards we enjoyed a tasty “Fondue Chinoise” with plenty of sides in a great location – a converted cowshed!

Frutiger Company AG continues to strengthen their position as No.1 worldwide supplier of Wheelwashing and Demucking Systems through exhibiting at the IME Mining Exhibition this month held in Kolkata, India.

According to the slogan “One Brand – One Partner” in the field of Site Emission Control, FRUTIGER served a Swiss Tunneling Site Project with three Dust Control Cannons and a ConLine Kit Plus Wheel Washing System.

Smiths of Bletchington Ducklington Mill Site has undergone a major expansion in 2016 and Frutiger were pleased to be confirmed as supplier of the Wheelwash system for the site. A 939G system was selected with 4 washing pumps but this was a unique installation. Smiths wanted to install a system that utilised the ponds on site for washing and also recycling. To achieve this supply water was pumps 250 meters to a supply tank controlled by a float switch and the waste from each wash was pumps 250 meters to another settlement area. A fully automatic solution was achieved and the system is cleaning to a high standard to ensure the roads outside the site are always kept clean.

A local quarry operator in the Midlands (GB), used for many years an old dry ramp system at the exit of his quarry to clean the wheels of the trucks before leaving the quarry. As a result of increasing frequencies and heavy soiling it was necessary to replace the old dry ramps system with a modern wheel washing system a few months ago. A MobyDick Kit 800 from FRUTIGER was finally evaluated. For serveral reasons it was not possible to set the washing modules into the ground, thereofore a customer-specific solution was necessary (see photo). The customer and as well the local residents are very satisfied with the new solution and the pollution of public roads is no longer a problem.
