Compact Professional DPF/FAP Cleaning Machine
CleanFAP GEA 0039 is an automatic machine designed for professional off-vehicle cleaning of DPF/FAP diesel particulate filters from passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
It is particularly suitable for automotive workshops, diesel specialists and smaller DPF service centers looking to introduce particulate filter cleaning without investing in a large industrial installation.
Its compact dimensions, 220 V power supply and automated cleaning process provide an excellent balance between professional functionality, workshop space and investment cost.
DPF Cleaning Equipment for Small and Medium Workshops
Not every automotive workshop requires a heavy-duty industrial DPF cleaning station designed for large truck filters and very high daily throughput.
CleanFAP is primarily designed for workshops servicing passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
For businesses currently outsourcing DPF cleaning, the machine provides a practical way to bring the service in-house and develop an additional workshop revenue stream.
Automatic DPF Filter Washing Machine
CleanFAP combines hot water and compressed air to clean the internal structure of the particulate filter.
The process is designed to remove soot, ash, carbon residues and other contamination restricting exhaust gas flow through the filter.
Once the filter has been connected using the appropriate adapters, the cleaning process can be performed automatically, reducing manual operator intervention.
DPF Pressure Testing and Process Monitoring
Professional DPF cleaning should provide more than a visually clean filter.
CleanFAP incorporates pressure testing and continuous process monitoring, allowing the operator to evaluate the filter and follow its behavior during the cleaning cycle.
Cleaning time can be adjusted according to the filter and level of contamination, with a typical cycle taking approximately 20–40 minutes.
DPF Inspection Camera
CleanFAP includes a camera for inspecting the particulate filter before cleaning.
The operator can visually inspect the filter and take photographs that can be associated with the service record.
This provides workshops with a practical way to document the initial condition of the filter and offer customers a more transparent professional service.
A4 Job Reporting via Wi-Fi
CleanFAP allows the workshop to create a report for the completed cleaning operation.
The report can be transmitted via Wi-Fi to a local printer and printed in A4 format, while job information can also be retained in the system database.
This reporting capability differentiates CleanFAP from a simple DPF filter washer and helps workshops provide a documented professional service.
Dual Filtration and Water Recirculation
During the washing process, soot, ash and other contaminants removed from the particulate filter are carried into the cleaning water.
CleanFAP uses a dual filtration system designed to retain contamination and support controlled water recirculation.
The system uses 10 µm and 50 µm filtration elements to separate residues removed from the filter.
Compressed-Air Assisted Draining
At the end of the cleaning cycle, compressed air is used to remove residual water from the internal filter structure.
CleanFAP should not be confused with large industrial DPF systems using separate high-capacity drying equipment.
Its main advantage is the ability to perform an efficient cleaning process within a compact and accessible workshop system.
Compact DPF Cleaning Equipment for Easy Workshop Installation
CleanFAP is easier to integrate into many workshops than large industrial DPF cleaning stations.
The 220 V power supply simplifies installation and reduces the need for complex industrial electrical infrastructure.
This makes the machine particularly attractive for workshops looking to introduce a professional DPF cleaning service while keeping the initial investment under control.
DPF Cleaning Machine for Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles
CleanFAP is primarily intended for particulate filters from passenger cars, SUVs, vans and light commercial vehicles.
For workshops mainly servicing these vehicle categories, the machine can cover a large proportion of everyday DPF/FAP cleaning requirements.
For very large filters, trucks and high-throughput heavy-duty applications, a larger industrial DPF cleaning platform is more appropriate.
DPF, FAP and Diesel Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems
The DPF/FAP forms part of a diesel vehicle's exhaust aftertreatment system.
Depending on the vehicle configuration, it may operate together with DOC catalysts, SCR, AdBlue systems and pressure, temperature or NOx sensors.
The cause of excessive filter blockage should be diagnosed before or together with cleaning, as engine or aftertreatment faults can cause a cleaned particulate filter to become restricted again.
DPF Cleaning Machine or DPF Regeneration Machine?
Search terms such as “DPF regeneration machine”, “DPF cleaning machine” and “DPF filter washer” are often used for the same customer requirement, although the processes are technically different.
DPF regeneration primarily burns accumulated soot.
Professional off-vehicle cleaning physically removes ash, residues and contamination remaining inside the filter structure.
CleanFAP is primarily an automatic off-vehicle DPF/FAP cleaning and washing machine.
