Clean roads with FRUTIGER Wheel Washing Systems
Discover leading Wheel Wash solutions by FRUTIGER, powered by advanced MobyDick technology. With over 4,000 systems installed worldwide, we are pioneers in developing efficient and user-friendly Wheel Washing solutions for optimal wheel and vehicle cleaning. Our Wheel Wash systems, including roller wash and drive-through wash stations, set new standards in performance and reliability. Our drive-through Wheel Washing stations, equipped with an innovative vehicle detection sensor, automatically trigger the washing process to ensure effective and thorough cleaning of wheels and chassis. The precisely tuned nozzle system, featuring both ground and side nozzles, ensures comprehensive cleaning with every wheel rotation, without compromising the safety and visibility of the driver by leaving higher vehicle areas like windows and rearview mirrors untouched.
Another cornerstone of our Wheel Wash systems is the eco-friendly water management system. Dirty water flows into side recycling tanks, where it is treated by robust MobyPump submersible pumps for reuse, while settled solids are efficiently removed. This sustainable practice not only reduces water consumption but also supports companies in complying with environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
A wheel washing system automatically cleans a vehicle’s tires as it moves through the system, using recycled water to remove accumulated dirt and mud. This process prevents contaminants from being carried onto public roads, thereby maintaining cleanliness and safety.
-
There are two primary types:
- Roller Systems: The vehicle stops, placing its wheels between rollers. A start bar triggers the washing process, during which the wheels are automatically turned and cleaned by water sprayed from multiple nozzles.
- Drive-Through Systems: The vehicle drives slowly through the system, and a light barrier at the entrance triggers the washing process. Wheels and chassis are cleaned by water sprayed from numerous nozzles without the need to stop.
