The Port of Bar (Luka Bar) is the logistical heart of Montenegro and a central hub for Balkan transit. In an environment where thousands of tons of bulk cargo, ore, and construction materials are handled daily, the contamination of vehicles and infrastructure presents a massive challenge.
To ensure public road safety and protect their own fleet, the port operator invested heavily in modern cleaning technology from FRUTIGER last year. Since their successful commissioning, two MobyDick Wheel Washing systems and a specialized Demucking system have been in heavy-duty operation.

When IFAT opens its doors in Munich from May 4 to 7, 2026, FRUTIGER Company AG will be appearing for the 12th consecutive time as a leading provider in the field of Site Emission Control. Under the motto “A whale, a promise!”, the Swiss company will present its comprehensive solutions for clean construction site exits, efficient vehicle cleaning, and effective dust suppression in Hall B4, Booth 528.

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.

Choosing the right wheel wash system is critical for construction sites that need to prevent mud and debris from being carried onto public roads. Contractors often compare MobyDick wheel wash systems with standard drive-through wheel wash systems when selecting equipment for UK construction sites.

Wheel wash hire is a practical solution for UK construction sites that need to prevent mud and debris from being carried onto public roads. A temporary wheel wash cleans vehicle wheels before exit, helping contractors comply with UK construction site regulations without investing in permanent equipment.

A wheel wash machine is used on construction sites to remove mud, clay, and debris from vehicle wheels before they exit onto public roads. On sites with heavy lorry traffic, a truck wheel wash system or wheel wash station is essential to maintain road safety, comply with UK construction site regulations, and prevent costly clean-up operations.

UK construction site regulations require contractors to prevent environmental pollution, maintain road safety, and minimise disruption to the public. One of the most common compliance challenges on construction sites is controlling mud and debris carried onto public roads by site vehicles.

Construction site wheel wash systems are essential on UK construction sites to prevent mud, clay, and debris from being carried onto public roads by lorries and trucks. A wheel wash system cleans vehicle wheels and tyres before exit, helping contractors comply with UK highway and environmental regulations while reducing road safety risks.

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.
