Last week FRUTIGER installed the KIT Flex 400 MC model from the MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex model range at a long-standing customer in Příbram, Czech Republic. This mobile wheel washing system is characterised by a hot-dip galvanised, water-carrying frame with a length of 4 metres, which makes it possible to apply around 2000 litres of water per minute to the dirty wheels. The innovative design means that no extensive earthwork is required, as the washing module and recycling tank can be installed above ground level. Only minimal earthwork is required to set the pump sump. As a result, the system is ready for operation within a few hours and can thoroughly clean up to 100 moderately dirty trucks per day. In this case, delivery and final commissioning were completed within one working day.

More than 12 years ago, FRUTIGER introduced the ConLine (Construction Line) line of whel washing systems and has continued to develop them ever since. In the meantime, several thousand ConLine systems have been sold worldwide, making ConLine probably the best-selling wheel washing system in the world. This is no coincidence, because in addition to an attractive price-performance ratio and uncomplicated installation, the systems are also characterised by their robustness and ease of maintenance.

FRUTIGER presents the world’s quietest Dust Control Cannon. Through groundbreaking innovations and the use of high-quality composite fibres, our team has achieved an optimal aerodynamic design of the throwing body. The unit impresses not only with its efficiency, but also with remarkably low noise emissions.

MobyDick’s Cannon Line dust control systems work on the proven principle of dust control by means of extremely fine water droplets. The use of a modern high-pressure pump in combination with a high-performance filter system, special nozzles and an aerodynamically shaped high-performance cone (turbine) ensures optimum size and distribution of the water droplets.

Recently, a MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus 800C-50P wheel washing system was successfully installed in a Czech quarry. The plant has a generous 50m3 recycling tank and is capable of cleaning the tyres of up to 250 moderately dirty trucks daily. To ensure safety, a safety railing was installed around the tank, which is embedded in the ground and serves as a reliable fall protection. A scraper conveyor was integrated for automatic discharge of the washed-off dirt in the recycling tank. The control cabinet and the dosing pump for the automatic use of flocculant are housed in a specially insulated and heated container to ensure optimum protection against adverse weather conditions. An additional traffic light system ensures smooth operation.

The East Gate of Fangcheng Port functions as the main exit for cargo vehicles, and the port’s managers attach great importance to the cleanliness of the surrounding roads. To meet this high demand and the frequencies of around 4,000 moderately dirty trucks, Frutiger China commissioned two MobyDick wheel washing systems, each 17 metres long, from the port.

The customer in Italy has to wash some heavily soiled trucks every day, but has limited space and a limited budget. FRUTIGER has found the optimal solution: The MobyDick Dragon C wheel washing system.
The MobyDick Dragon C is a powerful and compact wheel washing system. It consists of a 3.30-metre-long washing unit with an integrated recycling tank and offers an extremely attractive price-performance ratio. The Dragon C model can wash up to 100 lightly soiled trucks per day and is quick and easy to install. A fully-fledged wheel washing system at a low price!

The ConLine KIT Plus line consists of a wide range of mobile and stationary wheel washing systems, which are particularly suitable for applications with high truck frequencies. The 800C-50P model is designed to wash approximately 200-250 heavily soiled truck wheels per day.
In France, FRUTIGER has recently installed another MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus 800C-50P wheel washing system. The system has various options such as the “backwash of the exit”. This option ensures that dirt particles from the cleaning water do not accumulate on the road surface. They are continuously flushed back into the system, thus reducing the carry-over of dirt and a build-up of dust in the exit area. The “third nozzle tube” option has also been installed, which increases the spray pattern and enables better cleaning of the wheel housings.

Recently FRUTIGER installed a MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus 600B-50P wheel washing system in a raw material plant in Germany. This system has the option “MobyDos Compact”, which allows the automatic addition of flocculant. A safety railing was also installed to provide reliable fall protection around the recycling tank and prevent people from falling into the tank in areas where there is a risk of falling.
The wheel washing systems of the MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus line are particularly suitable for operations with high truck frequencies. The model installed here can clean up to 250 moderately dirty trucks per day, thus ensuring clean public roads.
