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.
In the new FRUTIGER production facility in Changsha, China, the furnishing and decoration work just started. In the process, the office building of the new premises is to be designed and embellished. As is customary in China, fireworks were set off at the start of the project to bring luck and success. Before that, the contract was signed with the contractor who will carry out the project. We are excited to see the result!
To address the issue of public road pollution, the Nanchang municipal government aims to ensure that tires of cars and trucks on the roads are clean enough to meet the stringent environmental requirements set by the Chinese government.
Following a visit of the two MobyDick wheel washing systems in Ruichang City, Jiangxi Province, the Nanchang municipal government officials decided to set up a MobyDick wheel wash system as well.
The problem of polluted public roads is also a big issue in America. FRUTIGER presented its extensive range of MobyDick models at Conexpo 2023 in Las Vegas last week. Exhibiting at North America’s largest construction trade show for asphalt, aggregates, concrete, earthmoving equipment, lifting equipment, mining, utilities and more, FRUTIGER was there with the familiar promise of “a whale, a promise!” to help with emissions issues in the American market as well.
Frutiger has successfully completed the first of many installations in the agribusiness sector. The customer is one of the many companies at risk of avian influenza in Scotland. In the United Kingdom, there have been 174 confirmed cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 since 1 October 2022.
Construction workers are exposed to many dangers every day. To avoid injuries, they usually wear protective clothing such as helmets, high-visibility vests, gloves, and safety shoes. However, an important aspect is often neglected: dust. The health risks of dust should not be underestimated. Especially in areas such as demolition, construction, landfills, recycling sites, or ports, dust is a major problem. The airborne particles can be inhaled and lead to serious illnesses such as lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, and pulmonary fibrosis in the long term. In addition to such drastic health consequences, skin and eye irritations are also not uncommon.
FRUTIGER/MobyDick has been awarded the contract for the design and turnkey construction of an automated vehicle washing plant in India. The project was tendered by India Coal, the largest coal mining company in the world. Coal India operates more than 500 active coal mines and employs more than 250,000 people. Most of its mines are operated as open-pit mines, using the world’s largest vehicles to transport coal and overburden.
