A MobyDick Wheel Washing System is a quality product designed to last for many years and hundreds of thousands of wash cycles. There are even MobyDick systems that have washed over a million vehicles and are still in operation. However, there comes a time, especially with heavy use and many years of service, when an old wheel washing system needs to be replaced with a newer product. This way, the smooth operation and cleanliness of public roads can be ensured again for many years. Often, even components or the foundation of the old installation can be fully or partially reused. Such a replacement was also recently carried out by FRUTIGER in an inert material landfill in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany). A system of the generation Quick with 6.67 metres of length was replaced by a new MobyDick ConLine KIT Plus wheel washing system with again 6 metres of length.

Installation of a MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex 800C wheel washing system in the Dominican Republic. The customer, a mining/manufacturing company that mines calcium carbonate, turned to FRUTIGER to keep the road from the mine to the storage facilities clean. About 200 loaded trucks have to be washed per day. Due to this initial situation and a limited budget, Frutiger sold a used, well-preserved MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex 800C wheel washing system with the usual MobyDick service included. The delivery was made directly from the FRUTIGER Assembly Center in Miami (USA). The customer is very satisfied with the system and the service, which is why he also bought a new MobyDick Dust Control Cannon 50.

From now on, the entire mobydick.com website can also be accessed in Russian. This is FRUTIGER’s response to the steadily increasing demand from the CIS countries. Our sales manager for the CIS region, Mrs. Olesia Hryhorash (o.hryhorash@frutiger.ch), will be happy to provide personal advice to Russian-speaking customers at any time.

A few kilometres from FRUTIGER’s headquarters, the 12-storey bed tower of the Frauenfeld Hospital is currently being demolished. The work will continue until the end of August. A major challenge in this demanding project is that the work has to be carried out while the hospital is in operation. This includes regular arrivals and departures of the rescue helicopter. The demolition site is also located in the middle of a residential area and surrounded by numerous residents. Accordingly, reliable dust suppression is a high priority. For this reason, the demolition company in charge decided to use the technologically leading MobyDick dust control equipment. The model Cannon Cart NG supports the two demolition excavators, which work their way down floor by floor over a period of around six months.

For a construction site in the Swiss Valais, a mobile wheel washing system was recently needed in order not to pollute the public roads around the site. Within a few days, a MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex Mobile C with scraper conveyor was made available from the large FRUTIGER rental park for an operational period of several months. Thanks to minimal excavation work, the system could be installed within a few hours, which is a great advantage, especially for short-term use on construction sites.

FRUTIGER was recently commissioned by a long-standing customer in the Basque Country to replace an old MobyDick Quick wheel washing system with a new model from the MobyDick ONE line. The new ONE 720 system cleans much more effectively due to a completely new design with significantly more nozzles at the same length. The recycling tank was installed underneath the system to save space and minimize disruption to operational traffic. Further information at www.mobydick.com!

As the world market leader for wheel washing systems FRUTIGER is known for numerous large projects and wheel washing systems with lengths of up to 20 metres. However, the MobyDick product portfolio also includes much smaller systems for projects with moderate requirements for a wheel washing system. For example, the MobyDick Dragon, which is used wherever contamination 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.

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.
