CombiClean Filter Cleaning Machine

All high efficiency Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF’s), regardless of brand, application, or size, require periodic cleaning and servicing to maintain their performance. Cleaning the DPF removes trapped ash from the channels of the filter. Failure to clean the filter can result in both increased backpressure to the engine, as well as reduced filter life.
Some cleaning methods allow the releases particulate and ash into the air. This creates a serious health and safety issue and is damaging to the environment. The CombiClean™ prevents this danger.

The CombiClean™

The CombiClean™ is manufactured by Engine Control Systems (ECS). Built with the benefit of over 25 years of proven filter regeneration & cleaning experience. It will clean DPF’s of all types with the addition of simple adaptors.

The cleaning process is a 3-stage system, developed with safety in mind when cleaning the filter. The first stage, removing excess particulate, is essential for an effective regeneration. The regeneration stage exposes the filter to elevated temperatures to oxidise any remaining particulate (soot) under controlled conditions. The last stage removes any remaining ash.

When a filter comes out of the CombiClean™, it is ready to work as if it was just out of the box;- perfectly clean.

The CombiClean™ is designed to clean both cordierite and silicon-carbide filter blocks between 3 and 20 litres capacity.
The first stage of the cleaning process uses regulated compressed air to eject any excess particulate (soot) from the filter whilst drawing any ejected contaminant into a vacuum container. This is important as it eliminates operator exposure. Removing excess particulate prior to the heat cycle prevents excessive temperatures during filter cleaning.
The second stage is the heat cycle that elevates the filter core temperature in a strictly controlled manner and passes air through the filter to provide the necessary combustion oxygen whilst ensuring uniform temperature distribution.
In the third stage, following regeneration, compressed air is used in conjunction with the vacuum collection system to remove any remaining ash.
The CombiClean™ is designed with safety in mind. Solenoid valves ensure that the compressed air is only available when the filter is at an appropriate temperature. Water traps protect the electrical components from airline condensation. The vacuum collection system allows the debris collected from the CombiClean™ to be disposed of following both municipal and environmental guidelines without worker exposure.
All this provided in a neat self-contained unit featuring a safety cage and including all the necessary controllers and regulators.

All that’s required is a space of approximately two square meters, a compressed air supply, and a 3-phase power supply. It is recommended that the unit is placed next to an external wall so that a flue can be used to channel hot gasses to the outside.
