bauma 2025 in Munich — the world’s largest meeting place for the construction industry — was a great success for FRUTIGER. As a leading provider of innovative solutions in the field of Site Emission Control, FRUTIGER showcased the latest developments in wheel washing systems, heavy-duty vehicle cleaning systems, and dust control technologies under the MobyDick brand.

Construction machinery, military and rail vehicles are often heavily soiled during use. MobyDick demucking systems remove dirt from wheeled and tracked vehicles in just a few minutes – without any cleaning agents and at low pressure. The wash water is recirculated and automatically treated during the process, enabling a sustainable water cycle.
FRUTIGER recently installed a MobyDick demucking system at a customer in Germany, which now guarantees fast and effective cleaning of construction machinery.
Thanks to customized solutions for every company, the MobyDick demucking system offers a cost-effective way of regularly cleaning vehicles and ensures a quick return on investment with minimal effort.

It’s that time again – the world’s largest trade fair for construction machinery and equipment opened its doors today. We are looking forward to an exciting week and many interesting discussions about emission control. Visit us in hall B5, stand 224! See you soon!

A leading Saudi Arabian company based in Al-Khobar has recently purchased and successfully commissioned a MobyDick SL Plus 600 wheel washing system. This investment is part of the company’s comprehensive strategy to reduce the environmental impact of outbound trucks while ensuring maximum operational efficiency.

A leading provider of waste management solutions in the UK, has successfully installed a MobyDick SL Plus 600MB-50P wheel washing system at one of its recycling and composting sites. This advanced system will ensure the cleaning of approximately 200 medium to heavily soiled trucks daily, including bin lorries, tippers, and articulated trucks, while meeting the specific site requirements.

In October 2023, a leading construction materials company approached FRUTIGER to find a solution for contamination issues at their quarry in New Braunfels, Texas. This charming city, known for its German cultural heritage, is surrounded by natural limestone formations and serves as an important hub for the construction materials industry.

A MobyDick Dragon wheel washing system was recently put into operation in Luxembourg. The construction site is located in a residential area where an underground parking garage is currently being built. An additional optical sensor was installed because, in addition to the outgoing trucks that need to be cleaned, trucks also drive backwards over the wheel washing system into the tunnel entrance. This prevents the car wash from being triggered unnecessarily in such cases and thus helps to optimize operation.

A few months ago, a MobyDick ONE 720 wheel washing system was installed at a quarry in Eastern Bohemia. The MobyDick ONE 720 is a model from our Tailor Made Line, specifically adapted to various operating conditions and capable of handling the highest levels of contamination. Since vehicles at the quarry are exposed daily to large amounts of dirt and dust, a solution was required that could withstand these extreme conditions.
The system includes two recycling tanks for washing water treatment, two galvanized drip pads, and a 7.2-meter-long washing element. Additionally, the Powerflush option (special nozzle) ensures thorough cleaning of the area between the wheel and fender – a patented innovation by FRUTIGER.

FRUTIGER is proud to have successfully exhibited at the Resource & Waste Management Expo (RWM) in Birmingham, held on September 11-12, 2024. The event brought together industry leaders and innovators focused on advancing sustainable waste, recycling and resource management practices.
