DPF filter cleaning technology is changing faster than ever before. New generations of ceramic cartridges are more delicate, emission standards are becoming stricter, and customers are more demanding. That is why simply owning a machine is not enough – proper training of operators is crucial.
This is where Otomatic comes in, offering comprehensive training for workshops that want to not only clean filters, but do so professionally, safely, and with full documentation.
The training courses are conducted at our training center in Andrychów [Poland], using actual Otomatic machines. From the very beginning, participants work with real filters and real-life workshop scenarios. This allows them to quickly understand how different types of filters react to individual cleaning stages.
During the training, we go through the entire process:
● Preliminary diagnostics – Δp measurement (back pressure),
● Preliminary cleaning – pneumatic,
● Main cleaning – hydrodynamic,
● Thermal cleaning – with hot air pulses,
● Documentation and reporting – preparation of a report for the customer.
The result? After the training, the workshop is able to provide a DPF cleaning service at the level expected by modern fleets, auto repair workshops, and individual customers.
Lack of operator knowledge often results in filter damage and complaints. Otomatic training shows how to avoid the risk of ceramic cartridge breakage, how to select machine operating parameters, and how to correctly interpret measurement results.
Each training participant learns how to create professional documentation: measurement reports, photos of the filter before and after cleaning, and data on the process. This is not only proof of quality, but also a sales tool that helps build customer trust.

The training sessions also provide an opportunity for practitioners from different workshops to meet. This allows participants to share their experiences, questions, and solutions. This is often the most valuable part of the course, as it shows that every workshop faces similar challenges.
In view of the upcoming Euro 7 standard, the growing number of cars with GPF/DPF filters, and increasingly stringent customer requirements, investing in knowledge is becoming just as important as investing in equipment. Workshops that improve their skills today will be seen as market leaders tomorrow.
