FSX TrapRinser™

Stage 1/Stage 3 – Heavy-Duty Wet DPF Cleaner

TrapBlaster7

The TrapRinser™ is a versatile machine and can be used as either a Stage 1 cleaner for shops that prefer wet cleaning to dry cleaning. As a Stage 1 cleaner, the FSX TrapRinser™ will clean each filter efficiently.

When used as a Stage 3 Cleaner the FSX TrapRinser™ is used for the rare (3-5%) filter that is not clean enough after using pneumatic and thermal cleaning machines.

In both applications, the TrapRinser™ uses air and water to safely remove soot and ash from DPF and DOC. The touchscreen controls allow the operator to customize cleaning

Using pressurized air and water the TrapRinser™ individually cleans each cell of a filter without the risk of hydraulically fracturing the ceramic brick.

Bi-Directional Scanning Air Knives

The TrapRinser™ uses water to clean filters just as effectively as our pneumatic cleaners. The TrapRinser™ provides the highest quality cleaning of Stage 1 wet cleaner made by using a combination of water and air-delivered by a scanning system. The filter is placed in the machine dirty side down, with the air and water knifes adjusted to 1/4 inch (6mm) above ceramic cells.

As a Stage 3 cleaner, the FSX TrapRinser™ can be used as a final cleaning process to clear hardened ash out of the filter.

Visible Cleaning Process

The operator can see the cleaning process through the upper and lower windows of the machine. Visible cleaning allows the operation to see what is happening in real-time and know when that cleaning process is complete.

When soot and ash stop coming out of the filter and the water runs clear, the cleaning process is done.

Cell-by-Cell Cleaning

The FSX TrapRinser™ cleans each cell individually using high-pressured water. The scanning knives pass over each cell multiple times on both ends of the filter.

The water lower nozzle targets the hardened ash plugs by shooting jets of water straight up the dirty cells. The jets break up the soot and ash deposits and allow excess air and water to escape through adjoining unpressurized cells. The upper nozzle blows out the material loosened by the lower nozzle.

The water flushes each cell with water top to bottom. The air-assisted water breaks up soot and ash and allows excess air and water to escape to adjoining unpressurized cells. The FSX TrapRinser™ flushes each cell with water top to bottom.

By cleaning each cell individually the FSX TrapRinser™ eliminates the risk of hydraulically fracturing the entire brick. Hydraulic fracturing happens when there is too much pressure built up in the cells.

Prevents Hydraulic Fracturing

Competitor products – even those using water and air – apply their cleaning force to the entire filter at the same time. When applied to the entire brick, there is no “safety valve” or escape path for high pressure, and this is applied to the entire brick, causing fractures of the ceramic substrate. Any existing small cracks are easily made larger.

FSX Air-Knife scanning uses air directed at individual cells to assist water flushing the ash out of the cells. If those cells are plugged, the air safely escapes to adjacent cells, preventing excessive force that causes hydraulic fracturing.

Fully Adjustable

Each cleaning step is adjustable and can easily be programmed to focus cleaning on a particular part of the filter. The machine cleans DPF ranging from 4″ to 22″ (102mm – 559mm) diameter and has a swing radius of 12 1/2″ (318mm). The height can be adjusted to 36″ (915mm).

The set-up time for a new size takes about one minute.

Automated Process

The FSX TrapRinser™ uses a touchscreen that provides automated and customizable parameters to achieve the best cleaning results. Custom cleaning programs are simple to build, set up, and run to focus on particular parts of the filter. Adjustable nozzles allow access to hard-to-reach flanges and cavities.

The FSX TrapRinser™ leaves the operator free to walk away and perform other tasks. The machine will work like a robot in your shop.

High Throughput

As a Stage 1 Cleaner

  • The average cleaning time is 25 minutes. Cleaning time will vary due to hardened ash and the volume of soot.
  • The minimum cleaning time is roughly 10 minutes and the maximum cleaning time is roughly 45 minutes.
  • Shop throughput is typically 6 filters cleaned per 8-hour shift, and 48 filters cleaned per 24-hour shift.

As a Stage 3 Cleaner

  • The majority of the soot and ash will have been cleaned out of the filter. Cleaning time for these filters will take less time and produce less wet waste. 

High Cleaning Efficiency

Most filters cleaned are successfully reinstalled after being cleaned on an FSX TrapRinser™. Cleaning efficiency is measured by using the FSX TrapTester™ (an airflow tester), pin gauges to measure cell depth, and a borescope.

*The filter needs to be completely dry for an accurate airflow reading.

FSX is the highest efficiency wet cleaning system in the world.

The success of cleaning and fall-out varies by engine manufacturers’ duty cycle and preventative maintenance.

FSX technology used in the FSX TrapRinser™ is proven to not damage the filter media or the wash coats.

    Safe for Operators

    The machine will stop if the door is opened.

    CE, ETL, CSA rated: Lockout/Tagout switch

    Ergonomically friendly, filters load into the machine at 30″ shelf height

    Environmental Safety

    Waste water from the FSX TrapRinser™ must be processes through the neutralizing filter system included with the FSX Heavy Duty DPF Wet Cleaning System™ or the FSX SootSieve™ if used as a Stage 3 Cleaner

    *Check with local waste management for guidelines on disposal.
