Professional DPF/FAP Cleaning Machine for Automotive Workshops
The DPF1800 PRO is a professional high-capacity machine for cleaning removed DPF/FAP diesel particulate filters from passenger cars, SUVs, vans, commercial vehicles and trucks.
Designed for automotive workshops, diesel specialists and dedicated DPF service centers, the system combines the main stages of a professional particulate filter cleaning process in one workstation: filter testing, automatic washing, rinsing, drying and before/after performance verification.
With its large working chamber, robust stainless-steel construction and automated control system, the DPF1800 PRO is intended for intensive professional use and high daily processing volumes.
Professional DPF Cleaning Equipment for High-Volume Service Centers
The DPF1800 PRO is designed for companies looking for professional DPF cleaning equipment, a complete DPF filter cleaning machine or a high-capacity DPF cleaning station.
Unlike a basic filter washer, the system allows the operator to evaluate the filter before cleaning, perform the controlled washing process, dry the filter and test it again after the procedure.
This complete workflow helps professional workshops standardize their DPF cleaning service and provide measurable before-and-after results.
DPF Backpressure Testing Before and After Cleaning
As soot, ash and other residues accumulate inside the particulate filter, exhaust gas flow becomes increasingly restricted and backpressure can rise.
The DPF1800 PRO allows the filter to be tested before and after the cleaning process, enabling the operator to compare its initial condition with the result achieved after washing and drying.
The machine also supports test reporting and printing, allowing the cleaning result to be documented and presented to the customer.
This turns the cleaning operation into a measurable professional service rather than a simple washing procedure.
Automatic DPF Washing Machine with PLC Control
The cleaning process is managed through a PLC control system and a 10-inch HMI touchscreen.
The operator can select working programs and monitor the cleaning cycle directly from the control panel.
The washing process is designed to remove soot, ash, carbon deposits and other contaminants accumulated inside the filter channels.
Controlled cleaning programs improve repeatability and help workshops maintain a consistent DPF cleaning procedure.
DPF Cleaning vs DPF Regeneration
The terms “DPF cleaning” and “DPF regeneration” are often used for the same problem, but they describe different processes.
DPF regeneration primarily burns accumulated soot inside the filter.
Over time, however, non-combustible ash and other residues remain trapped inside the filter and progressively reduce its available capacity.
Professional DPF cleaning involves removing the filter from the vehicle and physically removing accumulated ash, soot residues and other contamination.
For this reason, the DPF1800 PRO is primarily a professional DPF cleaning and washing machine, rather than only a DPF regeneration machine.
Integrated DPF Drying System
After washing and rinsing, the particulate filter must be properly dried before final testing and installation on the vehicle.
The DPF1800 PRO features an integrated drying system, allowing the main cleaning operations to be completed using the same workstation.
Combining testing, washing and drying in one DPF cleaning system reduces filter handling and improves workflow efficiency in professional workshops.
Advanced Filtration and Water Recirculation System
During the cleaning process, water carries soot, ash and other contaminants removed from the DPF into the machine's filtration circuit.
The DPF1800 PRO uses a multi-stage filtration system with stainless-steel filtration components, precision filtration and multiple filter cartridges.
The closed-loop recirculation system supports controlled water reuse, helps protect the machine's pumps and internal circuits and reduces unnecessary water and detergent consumption.
DPF Filter Cleaner for Cars, Vans and Trucks
With a working chamber measuring 1800 × 600 × 1000 mm and a maximum loading capacity of 250 kg, the DPF1800 PRO can handle a wide range of particulate filter sizes.
The machine is suitable for compatible filters from passenger cars, SUVs, vans, light commercial vehicles, commercial vehicles and trucks.
Its dimensions and capacity make it suitable both as a DPF cleaning machine for automotive workshops and as professional equipment for specialized high-volume DPF cleaning centers.
DPF, FAP, Catalysts and Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems
Modern diesel exhaust aftertreatment systems may include several components such as DPF/FAP filters, DOC oxidation catalysts, catalytic converters, SCR systems, AdBlue systems, differential pressure sensors, temperature sensors and NOx sensors.
Depending on construction, dimensions and compatibility with the machine, suitable particulate filters and compatible exhaust aftertreatment components may be professionally cleaned.
Every component should be correctly identified and inspected before being placed into the cleaning process.
DPF Cleaning Equipment for Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 Vehicles
The DPF1800 PRO can be used with compatible particulate filters found on many vehicles equipped with Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission-control systems.
The exact exhaust aftertreatment configuration varies according to vehicle manufacturer, engine type and emission standard.
On modern Euro 5 and Euro 6 vehicles, the DPF may operate together with DOC, SCR, AdBlue systems and several pressure, temperature and NOx sensors.
Correct diagnosis of the vehicle and identification of the cause of excessive filter loading are therefore important before professional DPF cleaning.
When Is Professional DPF Cleaning Recommended?
Professional DPF cleaning may be required when a vehicle shows excessive backpressure, frequent or unsuccessful regeneration, reduced engine power, DPF warning lights, increased fuel consumption, restricted exhaust flow or limp mode.
The cause of excessive DPF blockage should also be diagnosed.
Problems involving injectors, turbochargers, EGR systems, sensors, excessive oil consumption or poor combustion can cause a cleaned filter to become blocked again quickly.
When a DPF Cannot Be Restored by Cleaning
Professional cleaning can remove soot, ash and many accumulated deposits, but it cannot repair structural damage.
A particulate filter with a cracked or melted ceramic substrate, broken internal elements, severe mechanical damage or heavy contamination should be inspected before cleaning and may require replacement.
Proper filter inspection should therefore be part of a professional DPF service procedure.
Professional Operator Safety
The DPF1800 PRO is equipped as standard with a two-hand control safety system.
This system is designed to improve operator protection during operations involving movement of the machine's working mechanism.
For additional protection, the PRO version can be equipped with an optional safety light curtain.
On the DPF1800 PREMIUM version, both the two-hand control system and safety light curtain are standard equipment.
