Veritrap is Ceramex’s proprietary test method for assessing the structural integrity of the ceramic substrate within Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs). Designed as a non-destructive diagnostic, it ensures DPF reliability and compliance throughout its service life.

How Veritrap Works

  • Veritrap injects a controlled stream of benign particles into the DPF
  • The test measures whether particles under 10 µm penetrate the substrate—indicating cracks or filtration failures
  • Any deviations from expected threshold values triggers a fail result, alerting technicians to possible internal damage
  • This method offers precise substrate integrity validation without damaging the filter; optimal for operators prioritising performance and compliance

Benefits for Heavy-Duty Applications

Veritrap delivers invaluable assurances across heavy-duty industries; construction, agriculture, maritime, power generation, rail, and on-road.:

  • Confirms DPF substrate integrity for rigorous duty cycles and extended lifespans.
  • Supports fleet maintenance programmes with minimal downtime.
  • Enhances reliability for OEMs and operators using DPFs in harsh or high-load environments.
  • Prevents unplanned operational failure by flagging early substrate damage.

Part of Ceramex’s Patented Diagnostic Suite

Veritrap complements Ceramex’s patented technologies—including Xpurge® (DPF cleaning via purified water and air), Veritex® (light-based post-cleaning internal imaging), and Vericat™ (catalytic coating efficiency testing). Together, these tools form an industry-leading emissions system diagnostics ecosystem.

Traceable Performance Assurance

Every Veritrap analysis is logged and stored, establishing a comprehensive digital record for each filter. This enables:

  • Long-term monitoring of substrate health
  • Predictive maintenance planning
  • Compliance reporting and warranty validation

Veritrap ensures that only structurally sound filters return to service after cleaning, aligning with Ceramex’s 95%+ performance promise
