UNIKO India — DPF & Engine Care Blog

Introduction

Modern diesel vehicles rely on Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) to trap harmful soot and fine particles from exhaust gases. But over time, these filters get clogged, causing poor performance, increased fuel consumption, and costly downtime for vehicle owners.

This is where UNIKO India’s fully automatic DPF Cleaning Machine comes in. Designed in Surat, Gujarat, and trusted by workshops across India, it provides a fast, efficient, and eco-friendly solution to restore clogged DPFs. Let’s explore step by step how this machine works.

Step 1: Initial Inspection

The technician removes the DPF unit from the vehicle and inspects it for cracks, damage, or excessive oil contamination. Only a physically intact DPF can be successfully cleaned.

Step 2: Mounting the DPF

The DPF is mounted inside UNIKO’s sealed stainless-steel cleaning chamber. The machine is built with adjustable fixtures to accommodate different filter sizes — from passenger cars to heavy commercial vehicles.

Step 3: Pre-Cleaning Diagnostics

The machine runs a diagnostic air flow test to measure how blocked the filter is. This gives a baseline reading of backpressure so the technician knows the severity of clogging before cleaning begins.

Step 4: Automatic Cleaning Cycle

This is the heart of the process. UNIKO India’s DPF cleaning machine uses a two-stage cleaning technology:

1. Pulsed Airflow & Reverse Jet System

   • High-pressure air pulses are blasted in reverse direction through the filter cells.

   • This dislodges stubborn soot, ash, and carbon particles stuck inside the honeycomb structure.

2. High-Temperature Drying

   • After cleaning, the DPF is dried with controlled heat.

   • This ensures all moisture, oil, and fine dust are removed, leaving the filter dry and ready for installation.

Step 5: Post-Cleaning Testing

The machine performs a final airflow and backpressure test to verify cleaning efficiency. Typically, 95–98% of the DPF’s original flow capacity is restored.

Step 6: Reinstallation

The DPF is reinstalled into the vehicle, and the system is reset if required (using OBD tools). The vehicle is then road-tested to confirm improved performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions.

Benefits of Using UNIKO India’s DPF Cleaning Machine
