Step 1: Air Flow Test Bench - "TrapTester"
Before and after measurements ensure warranty compliance. Used by engine and truck OEMs as the standardized test bench. Identify defective filters. Monitor filter performance and improvement at every stage of the cleaning process. Handles almost any filter. Calibrated specifically for precision measuring of air flows on DPF. Used to record before and after cleaning air flows on customer filters to determine success or failure on cleaning the filter. Critical for warranty administration. The FSX TrapTester™ Air Flow Test Benchis now being used as the Standard measuring device by engine and truck OEM’s and dealers for repeatable testing nationwide. Every location needs the ability to get the same air flow readings for warranty and maintenance. Now being purchased by Volvo, Caterpillar and Cummins dealers.

Step 2: Pneumatic Cleaner - "TrapBlaster"
The "TrapBlaster" is the flagship of the FSX product line, utilizing patented technology to clean filters significantly better than competing designs. Upper and lower air jets allow cleaning from both ends of the filter, not just one. The FSX technology has a built in diagnostic feature that makes it possible to detect filters that are failing. High pressure air jets clean from both ends to ensure optimum filter recovery. Cell by cell cleaning ensures entire filter is cleaned. Diagnostic features during cleaning allow detection of failed cell walls and defective filters.

Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs)
A diesel particulate filter has thousands of small channels that are alternatively sealed. This close-up illustration shows how exhaust flow eneters one channel and is forced to exit out an adjacent channel. The filtering occurs as the flow passes through the wall.

DPF Cleaning
Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) require a regular service known as de-ashing or filter cleaning. This process is required to remove unburned lube oil that has accumulated in the DPF. The material that is removed from the DPF during cleaning is considered hazardous waste, and must be properly handled and disposed of in a safe and controlled environment.
