MobyDick Dust Control: Innovative Emission Control for Mining and Industry

Winterthur, Switzerland – Dust emissions are one of the greatest challenges in modern emission control. Whether in international mining, large construction sites, or industrial areas, efficient dust suppression solutions are now essential. FRUTIGER Company AG is setting new global standards with its MobyDick brand and the technologically leading “Multi” series. A recent major order for five dust suppression machines for a copper mining project in Chile confirms the superiority of this Swiss engineering.

What is Dust Control? An Explanation for Users
For operators in the mining industry, demolition, or material sorting, dust control is essential for three reasons:
1. Occupational safety & health: Exposure to fine dust at the workplace is significantly reduced through state-of-the-art dust suppression technology.
2. Wear protection: Less dust means reduced maintenance for engines and filters of construction machinery.
3. Environmental regulations: Compliance with strict limits prevents costly shutdowns.

The Operating Principle: Aerodynamics Instead of Standard Solutions
The efficiency of MobyDick systems is based on a physically optimized principle developed in collaboration with the ZHAW Center for Aviation.
• Coherent particle binding: To bind dust effectively, the droplet size must match the dust particles precisely. MobyDick generates a fine precision mist that envelops the particles in the air and causes them to settle to the ground.
• S-curve cone (aerodynamic profile): Unique on the market is the housing with an S-curve profile. While conventional sheet-metal solutions are often simple conical funnels that create turbulent airflows, manufacturing from high-quality composite fiber (fiberglass) enables an aerodynamically ideal shape. The result is a stable, laminar air jet with maximum range.
• Rotor-stator technology: Modeled stators straighten the air swirl, allowing energy to be converted into throw distance (up to 90 meters) with almost no loss.

Maximum Range with Minimal Noise
The deployment in Chile (models 3060 and 3090) shows why global corporations rely on MobyDick:
• Quiet operation: Composite fiber is naturally sound-absorbing. Combined with frequency converters, the systems can be continuously regulated. At lower levels they operate almost silently – a benchmark for noise protection on construction sites.
• Robustness: The housings are corrosion-resistant and ideal for extreme conditions in mines or recycling facilities.

Conclusion
By combining a wheel washing system (preventing carry-over on the ground) with the Multi Dust Control line (for airborne dust), MobyDick provides a holistic solution for emission control. Swiss innovation meets maximum economic efficiency.
