According to the slogan “One Brand – One Partner” in the field of Site Emission Control, FRUTIGER served a Swiss Tunneling Site Project with three Dust Control Cannons and a ConLine Kit Plus Wheel Washing System. Thanks to these leading solutions from the MobyDick Product Range the environment around the site is now protected against pollution, both on the road and in the air.

Smiths of Bletchington Ducklington Mill Site has undergone a major expansion in 2016 and Frutiger were pleased to be confirmed as supplier of the Wheelwash system for the site. A 939G system was selected with 4 washing pumps but this was a unique installation. Smiths wanted to install a system that utilised the ponds on site for washing and also recycling. To achieve this supply water was pumps 250 meters to a supply tank controlled by a float switch and the waste from each wash was pumps 250 meters to another settlement area. A fully automatic solution was achieved and the system is cleaning to a high standard to ensure the roads outside the site are always kept clean.

A local quarry operator in the Midlands (GB), used for many years an old dry ramp system at the exit of his quarry to clean the wheels of the trucks before leaving the quarry. As a result of increasing frequencies and heavy soiling it was necessary to replace the old dry ramps system with a modern wheel washing system a few months ago. A MobyDick Kit 800 from FRUTIGER was finally evaluated. For serveral reasons it was not possible to set the washing modules into the ground, thereofore a customer-specific solution was necessary (see photo). The customer and as well the local residents are very satisfied with the new solution and the pollution of public roads is no longer a problem.

More and more MobyDick Wheelwashing-, Demucking– and Dust Control Systems also protect the enviroment around North American mining sites from harmful Dust and Track-out Emissions. Therefore FRUTIGER was again part of the this year MINEXPO from September, 26 – 28 in Las Vegas. We thank our customers for their great interest and look forward to exciting projects.

Just a few weeks after the Bauma 2016 exhibition FRUTIGER was already again present at the Munich Trade Fair Area, as an exhibitor at the IFAT 2016. The company presented a modular wheel washing system MobyDick ConLine and a Cannon 30 of the MobyDick Dust Control line.

This year is the 16th time the Swiss-based FRUTIGER Company AG has participated in the bauma trade fair in Munich. The innovation leader from Switzerland was once again able to inspire visitors with the MobyDick® ONE, the new standard for customised wheel-washing systems and a wide range of modern dust-binding solution.

About 3,400 exhibitors on almost 600’000 m2 and with more than 500,000 visitors. That’s bauma! As the world’s first we present on 250 m2 the new MobyDick ONE. Thanks to several innovations this wheel washing system once more sets the standard of the industry for the future.

Following the Events of Fukushima (Japan) at the Nuclear Plant further strategies have been put in place to reduce the Impact that took place on the enviroment if it was to happen in the UK.

At Bauma 2016 in April in Munich a new chapter in wheel-washing system performance will be opened when the FRUTIGER MobyDick ONE is unveiled. Building on the success story of the MobyDick product line the Swiss technology leader in wheel washing presents a world first that will stay at the cutting edge of technology for the foreseeable future.
