Bridging The GAP
DPF CLEANING MACHINE
DPF CLEANING MACHINE
As sole INDIA distributor of the FH series of cleaning machines this will successfully clean all types of particulate filters, not just cars, but vans, light, medium and heavy trucks, buses, and any off road equipment that has a diesel particulate filter. It will efficiently remove the PM-10 (Soot & Ash) from the filter restoring the DPF back to 98% original
There are many different types of diesel particulate filters, most of the ones on cars, light and medium sized trucks are sealed so can be difficult to clean.
The Elangattu FH series machine effectively cleans any make and configuration of diesel particulate filter without cutting, modifying or welding the DPF, it does this by simply connecting the appropriate adapter.
After testing the flow rate within the DPF filter the FH series machines pumps high pressure water mixed with Hydro Carbon fluid at a rate of 160 litres a minute from a dedicated pump,
this cleaning process is assisted with blasts of air at 4bar to ensure the Soot and Ash are completely removed from the DPF filter. To ensure the DPF filter is completely clean the filter is turned both ways.
FH SERIES CLEANING SYSTEM
The FH series DPF cleaning System is revolutionizing the DPF cleaning industry.
An innovative, compact design cleans all particulate filter types for cars, light, medium and heavy trucks, buses, stationary power plants and off road equipment equipped with a diesel particulate filter. It efficiently removes virtually all PM-10 (soot & sulphated ash) from the channels of the filter restoring the DPF to serviceable conditions.
Most DPF cleaning Systems are designed to clean modular canister style filters found on heavy trucks that when the DPF is removed, the full inlet and outlet surfaces of the filter are easily accessible. Many diesel particulate filter designs such as those on cars, light and medium sized trucks have the DOC and DPF housed in a sealed housing in conjunction with small diameter exhaust tubing preventing access to the inlet or outlet surfaces of the filter making it make it difficult or impossible to clean. In these instances the DPF must be cut open, cleaned and welded back together again to restore the filter to serviceable standards or simply replace the DPF costing thousands of dollars.
The FH effectively cleans any make and configuration of diesel particulate filter without cutting, modifying or welding by simply connecting the appropriate fitting.
The FH process outperforms conventional DPF Cleaning technology both economically and in cleaning efficiency because the FH does not utilize pneumatic and/or thermal regeneration technology to remove soot and ash.
There is no need for large volume air compressors, air dryers and expensive electrical service upgrades and the entire
FH System occupies only a fraction of the floor space when compared to other technologies.
A Glimpse into DPF clogging
-
Diesel Particulate Filters are made of a porous ceramic honeycomb of alternate end closed channels. The exhaust gas enters the DPF and passes through the porous walls of these channels and traps the particulate matter.
-
Particulate matter (or PM) in the DPF is made up of soot and ash. Soot is normally removed from the DPF through regeneration, but leaving the ash behind in the channels.
-
In some cases, ash bridging may also occur causing blockages to form near the middle of the filter, effectively blocking flow through the remainder of the channel.
-
Ash, by definition is incombustible and must be removed from the DPF through an effective cleaning process.
-
Ash build-up is the primary reason for premature DPF failure and is the most important factor controlling the service life of the filter.
-
Ash and soot accumulation restricts exhaust flow, therefore increasing back pressure, making it harder for the engine to breathe. This can greatly affect performance and fuel consumption.
-
When the filter is blocked, options such as forced regeneration or chemical additives will only remove some of the soot, but not the ash.
-
If high ash levels remain, this will, at best, only be a short-term solution and therefore a potential waste of time and money.
-
DPF’s can be restored to virtually new condition by thorough cleaning, removing both soot and ash, as well as recovering DPF’s with oil and coolant contamination.
