Professional DPF/FAP Cleaning Machine for Intensive Workshop Use
The DPF1800 PREMIUM is a high-capacity professional machine for cleaning removed DPF/FAP diesel particulate filters from passenger cars, SUVs, vans, commercial vehicles and trucks.
The PREMIUM version represents the fully equipped configuration of the DPF1800 platform and is designed for automotive workshops, diesel specialists and professional DPF cleaning centers requiring high throughput, repeatable cleaning procedures and advanced operator safety.
The machine combines filter testing, automatic washing, rinsing, drying, filtration and before/after performance verification in one professional DPF cleaning station.
High-Capacity DPF Cleaning Equipment for Professional Service Centers
The DPF1800 PREMIUM is designed for businesses where particulate filter cleaning is a regular, high-volume operation.
Its 1800 × 600 × 1000 mm working chamber and maximum loading capacity of 250 kg allow a wide range of DPF sizes to be processed, including filters from commercial vehicles and trucks.
The system can therefore be used as a DPF cleaning machine, DPF washing machine, professional DPF cleaning equipment or complete DPF cleaning station.
Professional DPF Filter Washing Machine
The cleaning process is controlled through a PLC system and 10-inch HMI touchscreen.
Automatic programs allow the operator to control and monitor the main cleaning stages from the machine interface.
The washing process is designed to remove soot, ash, carbon deposits and other contaminants accumulated inside the particulate filter channels.
Automation improves process repeatability and helps professional workshops standardize their DPF cleaning service.
DPF Backpressure Testing Before and After Cleaning
Professional DPF cleaning should provide measurable verification of the result.
The DPF1800 PREMIUM allows backpressure testing before and after cleaning, enabling the operator to compare the initial filter condition with its performance after washing and drying.
The integrated reporting and printing system allows the workshop to document the service and provide the customer with a technical before-and-after result.
DPF Cleaning Machine vs DPF Regeneration Machine
Searches for “DPF regeneration machine” and “DPF cleaning machine” often refer to the same customer problem, but the processes are technically different.
DPF regeneration primarily burns soot accumulated inside the particulate filter.
Non-combustible ash and other residues remain inside the filter over time and cannot be fully removed through normal regeneration.
Professional off-vehicle DPF cleaning physically removes accumulated contamination from the filter structure.
For this reason, the DPF1800 PREMIUM is primarily a professional DPF filter cleaning and washing machine, rather than simply a regeneration system.
Integrated DPF Drying System
After washing and rinsing, the particulate filter must be correctly dried before final testing and installation.
The DPF1800 PREMIUM features an integrated drying system, allowing the main cleaning stages to be completed using the same workstation.
Combining testing, washing and drying in a single machine improves workflow efficiency and reduces unnecessary filter handling.
Advanced Multi-Stage Filtration System
During the washing process, water carries soot, ash and other contaminants removed from the particulate filter.
The DPF1800 PREMIUM uses a professional multi-stage filtration system with stainless-steel filtration components, precision filtration and multiple filter cartridges.
The filtration and recirculation circuit helps protect the machine's internal components and supports controlled reuse of the cleaning fluid.
Professional DPF Cleaning Equipment with Enhanced Safety
One of the main differences between the DPF1800 PREMIUM and the PRO version is the standard safety configuration.
The DPF1800 PREMIUM includes both the dual-hand control system and safety light curtain as standard equipment.
The safety light curtain monitors the working access area and provides an additional layer of operator protection.
This configuration makes the PREMIUM version particularly suitable for intensive professional applications where operator safety and ergonomics are a priority.
DPF Cleaning Machine for Cars, Vans and Trucks
The large cleaning chamber and 250 kg loading capacity allow the DPF1800 PREMIUM to process compatible particulate filters from a wide range of vehicles.
Applications include passenger cars, SUVs, vans, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles and trucks.
The equipment is therefore suitable both for general automotive workshops and specialized businesses offering car and truck DPF cleaning services.
DPF, FAP, Catalysts and Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems
Modern diesel exhaust aftertreatment systems may include DPF/FAP filters, DOC oxidation catalysts, catalytic converters, SCR systems, AdBlue systems, differential pressure sensors, temperature sensors and NOx sensors.
Depending on design, dimensions and compatibility with the machine, suitable particulate filters and compatible exhaust aftertreatment components may be professionally cleaned.
Each component should be identified and inspected before processing.
DPF Cleaning for Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 Vehicles
The DPF1800 PREMIUM can be used with compatible particulate filters found on many Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 diesel vehicles.
Exhaust aftertreatment configurations vary according to manufacturer, engine and emissions standard.
On modern Euro 5 and Euro 6 applications, the particulate filter may operate together with DOC, SCR, AdBlue 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 cleaning.
When Is Professional DPF Cleaning Required?
Professional DPF cleaning may be required when a vehicle shows excessive backpressure, frequent or unsuccessful regeneration, DPF warning lights, reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, restricted exhaust gas flow or limp mode.
The cause of excessive filter blockage should also be diagnosed.
Injector faults, turbocharger problems, EGR issues, sensor faults, excessive oil consumption or poor combustion can cause a cleaned DPF to become restricted again quickly.
When Can a DPF Not Be Restored by Cleaning?
Professional cleaning can remove soot, ash and many accumulated deposits, but it cannot repair structural damage.
A DPF with a cracked or melted ceramic substrate, detached internal elements, severe mechanical deformation or heavy oil or coolant contamination should be inspected before cleaning and may require replacement.
Professional inspection should therefore form part of the DPF cleaning workflow.
