FCM 4000

High-volume Aqueous Cleaning for Aftertreatment Systems

Advanced cleaning for higher volumes

More units mean more service revenue for your business
Our high-volume Flash Cleaner Machine (FCM 4000) safely
and effectively combines water and vacuum to clean deposits
from diesel particulate filters (DPFs), diesel oxidation catalysts
(DOCs) and selective catalyst reduction (SCR) units.

However, unlike conventional machines, our design cleans

units from all diesel classes – broadening your potential
customer base far beyond conventional, segment-limited
Supports Two Cleaning Cabins
cleaning machines.

High-volume aqueous cleaning with clear advantages Cleans in as little as:

Proven methods combine with efficiencies for your operations
In addition to cleaning different types of units, FCM’s process uses both water
pressure and vacuum, combining the force of both to quickly clean DPF, DOC and
5
Minutes
SCR units – often in only 5 minutes. If you are a high-volume (20+ units per day)
cleaning operation, the FCM 4000 is likely the right machine for you. With our automatic cycle.
This distinct combination maximizes cleaning throughput, while minimizing costs
related to shop footprint, utilities and time needed to service your customers’
aftertreatment systems to get their equipment back in service.
• Services all DPF, DOC & SCR units (passenger cars thru Class 8 equipment*)
• FCM’s automatic cycle can clean DPF units in as little 5 minutes
• Most effective process for removing compacted soot, ash & other residue
• Technology recognized by major OEMs & substrate manufacturers
• Separate dryer units available for even faster unit turnaround
During its brief cleaning, FCM’s advanced processes provide greater recovery of
unit efficiency compared to other cleaning methods, which will help keep your
customers’ equipment working for longer periods.

Upon cycle completion, FCM’s integrated printer gives you verifiable results –
providing backpressure tests pre- and post-cleaning that you can share with your
customers for their service records.
