Cars, Light Commercials, HGV/SCR and Plant
Whatever the size of DPF, we have a solution.
Utilising state-of-the-art Flash Cleaning technology, the environmentally-friendly process delivers as new levels of cleanliness by removing all soot deposits, including PM10 particles, cerium oxide deposits and oil residues from the DPF.
DPF Clean Team's fast turnaround professional DPF cleaning service gives factors and fleet operators a competitive advantage by offering a lower cost alternative to component replacement. To guarantee peace of mind, all DPF Clean Team's cleaned DPFs are provided with a detailed inspection report and are covered by a no-quibble 12-month unlimited mileage guarantee.
Why you should choose Flash Cleaner Machine
A comparison between Flash Cleaner Machine and the most common DPF cleaning methods.
| Description | Time | Costs | Advantages/Disadvantages | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Treatment |
Cut the DPF and put it into an oven that gradually reaches 1100-1130°F burning the carbon residuals. Then weld the DPF. |
8-12 hours Pneumatic cleaning: 90 minutes |
Machineries: 4
- Backpressure Tester |
Removal of most of the PM10 deposits Risk damaging the integrity of the filter because of the cutting and welding Melting of the cerium with the filter walls due to the high temperature Risk of thermal shock that can damage the noble metals |
| Ultrasonics Treatment |
Dip the DPF into an ultrasonic tank full of water. The ultrasonics form micro-bubbles inside where the temperature is very high and the pressure reaches 500ATM. The implosion of the bubbles causes the detachment of the particulate matter from all of the filter substrates. |
12-24 hours Ultrasonic cleaning, drying and pneumatic cleaning |
Machineries: 3
- Ultrasonic Tank |
Deep cleaning of the filter cells Poor efficiency on very dirty filters (oil) and larger filters Risk of damaging the filter due to the vibrations generated by the ultrasonics and the implosion of the bubbles High water consumption (need to change it often to eliminate the PM10 cleaning residuals which deposit at the bottom) |
| Chemical Additives |
Put the chemical additives into the vehicle tank together with the fuel in order to melt the burning residuals inside the engine and to eliminate them through the exhaust pipe. |
Additive There is a wide range of additives; prices change according to the manufacturer and to the channels of sale. |
Easy and cheap Ineffective: residuals are not actually eliminated and more are added to those generated by the additive itself, going to block further the particular filter |
|
| Flash Cleaner Machine |
Put the filter on the worktop of the washing cabin and connect it to the water pipe. Press START: depending on the type and the size of the filter, Flash Cleaner Machine performs the washing of the filter and then dries it with hot air |
From 30 minutes (car DPF-FAP) to 120 minutes (truck DPF) |
Machineries: 1 Flash Cleaner Machine is a one-of-a-kind machinery that performs all of the cleaning phases (washing and drying) without cutting, oven-baking and welding |
Total removal of PM10 residuals Removal of all oil residuals Removal of cerium residuals Efficient cleaning of all of the types of particulate filter and catalyst (cars and heavy goods vehicles, also SCR) of every size Safety of the filter Preservation of the noble metals of the DPF Processing water always clean thanks to an efficient filtration system: no need to change the water but only to add it when it evaporates Easy, fast and cheap |
