Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and catalytic converter cleaning has become an essential service for garages, rebuilders and commercial vehicle fleets. A clogged filter can lead to costly breakdowns and prolonged downtime, so having the right machine not only ensures efficient service, but also multiplies workshop profitability.
In this comparative guide, we look at the four main models of DPF REVIVAL: CTW1400, CTW1500, CTW2000 and TBS3000. Each is designed for different customer profiles, from small workshops to large fleets or specialised companies.
| Model | Filtering | Test | Drying | Core business | No. of cleanings for ROI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Basic - 1-100 μm | Back pressure (mb) | Hot air | Small workshops | ~39 cleanings | |
Double (1 + 25 μm) + deoiler | Pressure (mb) and flow (LPM) | Hot air | Professional workshops | ~102 cleanings | |
Triple (50-25-5 μm) + deoiler | Pressure (mb) and flow (LPM) | Hot air | Large and specialist fleets | ~139 cleanings | |
HEPA - Pneumatic | Back pressure (mb), weight | Oven regeneration | Trucks, buses and mining | ~100 cleanings |
*Values considered for a cleaning cost of 200 € / car filter and 500 € / mine filter (case TBS3000).
** Considering the cost per operation of 5 €/cleaning
The CTW 1400 is the most economical DPF cleaning machine in the range. Its compact design and low maintenance costs make it the best choice for workshops that want to start offering this service without a large initial investment.
For cleaning Euro 4, 5 and 6 filters and catalytic converters in cars, vans, trucks and commercial vehicles.
It performs back pressure tests and has a hot air drying system, which ensures that the filter is ready for re-installation without the risk of moisture.
With only 39 cleanings approximately, the workshop recovers the initial investment.
The CTW 1500 is the intermediate model, designed for professional workshops and fleets that need more advanced equipment.
One of its advantages compared to the CTW1400 is the double filtering system (1 μm + 25 μm) and disc de-oilerwhich keep the water cleaner for longer.
In addition, it incorporates a dual diagnostic system which measures both air pressure and air flow, providing more complete and professional reports.
It allows working in a closed cabin, with greater customisation in the cleaning programmes, with support for cylindrical truck filters as standard, etc.
With an approximate ROI of 102 cleaningsThe CTW1500 represents a leap in quality that boosts customer confidence and workshop efficiency.
The CTW 2000 is the flagship of DPF REVIVALdesigned for large fleets, specialised centres and workshops looking for maximum capacity and technology.
It integrates a triple progressive filtering system (50-25-5 μm) together with a disc de-oilerThis allows you to work for longer hours without changing the water in the tank and with a higher level of cleanliness than any other model.
Your dual diagnostic system documents the efficiency of the process by means of pressure and flow tests before and after each cleaning, generating reports that provide transparency and confidence.
The rapid drying with hot air and the possibility of working in parallel (drying one filter while cleaning another) make it the most productive option.
In addition, it includes a 120 bar high pressure lance to clean DPFs on the outside, other parts of the workshop and turning the machine into a 2 in 1 machine.
With a higher investment cost, the CTW2000 pays for itself within a few years. 139 cleaningsThis means 12 to 18 months of regular use.
If truck filters are cleaned, the number of cleanings decreases significantly.
The TBS 3000 is a unique model in the range, as it operates with a pneumatic blower cleaningwithout using water.
It is particularly suitable for cylindrical filters for trucks, buses and mining vehicleswhere other machines cannot work as efficiently.
It is a larger investment but with a much quicker ROI (filter cleaning is more expensive), ideal for companies that manage large fleets or workshops specialising in heavy vehicles.
Its estimated ROI is about 100 cleaningsThe company's ability to serve such a specific niche makes it irreplaceable in that market.
