Is it worth selling used DPF/FAP filters?

DPF/FAP particulate filters, like catalytic converters, play an important role in modern vehicles, reducing the emission of harmful compounds present in exhaust gases. What’s more, these elements have a lot of value on the secondary market because their inserts are also sputtered with precious metals – platinum, palladium and rhodium. At DS AUTO, we offer attractive prices for used filters – both to individual customers and to regeneration companies that want to sell units that are no longer suitable for further, effective use at a high profit.

Why is it worth selling used DPF/FAP filters in DS AUTO?

Precious metals present in DPF/FAP filters have a high stock exchange value. The prices of platinum, palladium and rhodium remain high, which makes selling these parts very profitable. Instead of storing used parts or leaving them to a mechanic, it is better to sell them to a professional purchase center, where they will be subject to appropriate valuation and, of course, recycling. At the DS AUTO headquarters and at our partner points, we use the renowned Olympus Vanta L XRF spectrometers for valuation, which precisely determine the content of precious metals in filters. For wholesale suppliers, we also perform detailed chemical analysis using an ICP-MS spectrometer in our laboratory.

DPF/FAP filter regeneration process – What is worth knowing?

Regeneration of particulate filters is a process that enables their reuse in vehicles. It involves thorough cleaning and removal of accumulated soot and other impurities. There are many companies on the market that regenerate filters, but this process does not always bring the desired results. Some filters, due to the degree of wear or mechanical damage, are no longer suitable for further use and must be recycled.

This is where the key role of DS AUTO comes into play – used filters can be resold, thus contributing to the protection of the environment. Responsible recycling of these parts reduces the need to extract new raw materials, which reduces the carbon footprint.
