Every construction site and every production hall is covered in dirt. Dust particles are whirled into the air and distributed therein. They may affect the health of people working on the construction site or in production or living in a neighbouring area. With dust control systems, it’s easy to get to grips with the problem. They thus make an important contribution to emission control.
Construction vehicles, construction machinery and military vehicles have one thing in common: they are designed for use in a dirty environment and are extremely robust. They are used on construction sites and landfills or in off-road areas. However, the fact that they are robust does not mean that heavy dirt cannot get to them over time. Over time, more and more dirt is deposited on the vehicles and machines – on the tyres, on the underbody and on all other exposed surfaces. In the long term, this pollution will not remain without consequences: The material can thus be attacked.
Wheel wash systems are technologies that have come a long way in the last few decades. Although such jobs used to be conducted by hand on sites as trucks left to take to the public road, increasingly this has been replaced by automation, much of it drawn from highly sophisticated technology. Nowadays, there are a plethora of different systems you could employ at your site to prevent road contamination of both grime and pollution. Read on to find out more about how you can go about selecting the right solution from MobyDick to meet your particular requirements.

MobyDick is among the world’s leading demucking, dust control and wheel wash construction site technology manufacturers. As anyone who is responsible for the local environment around a modern building site will know, ensuring that mess and contaminants are not spread from the site to the wider area is increasingly important.

Nearly all building site managers appreciate the growing importance of dust control measures these days. Not only does the construction sector take its environmental responsibilities with respect to climate change much more seriously than ever before, but its role in protecting the local environment is increasingly a high priority for both contractors and clients alike. Of course, this means taking steps to ensure that local water courses are not polluted and so on. (more…)
Contamination on construction vehicles, which occurs on landfills, mines or construction sites, often settles as film on the surfaces and in large quantities in the chassis of the vehicles. There they accumulate more and more with the time. If the substance is retained for a longer period of time, it is attacked and corroded. (more…)
The generation of dust pollution is an important topic in many industrial sectors and processing plants: On construction sites, landfills, in the extraction of raw materials, recycling or transport processes – wherever materials are crushed, loaded or spilled, this always goes hand in hand with the not inconsiderable generation of smaller and larger dust particles.

In 1995, FRUTIGER launched MobyDick Quick, the world’s first wheel wash system that meant that vehicles no longer had to stop for the wheels to be cleaned. This innovation revolutionised wheel cleaning for construction vehicles and, at the same time, marked the start of FRUTIGER’s reign as the world market leader in the field of wheel wash systems. At this year’s Bauma, the Swiss company will present a world first from the field of dust control.
Filthy roads, dust pollution and dirt adhering to vehicles is part and parcel of everyday routine at many landfill sites, material transshipment points, recycling yards, construction sites and recovery plants. As a result, many responsible companies are increasingly looking for opportunities to reduce the negative effects of such emissions on people, the environment and machinery. As a global market leader in the field of emission control, FRUTIGER has been providing a broad range of modern and practical solutions from a single source for over 30 years.
