A Compact Commercial Kiln for Reliable DPF Cleaning: Olympic DPF FL12E
If you're running thermal cleanings on DPF filters or performing small-batch industrial heat treating, the Olympic FL12E delivers serious performance without taking up your whole shop. This 12 cubic foot front-loading industrial kiln reaches up to 2350°F—giving you the heat you need to burn off soot, ash, and other buildup that reduces diesel filter performance.
Whether you’re a radiator shop cleaning filters daily or a fleet facility doing your own maintenance, this DPF kiln provides reliable, repeatable results. The FL12E includes a heavy-duty welded steel frame, stainless steel jacket, and 12-key KilnStar controller for programmable ramp-hold control. With 24" x 24" x 36" interior dimensions, it’s ideal for medium-sized filters or parts needing precise thermal cycles.
Built for continuous use, the FL12E also comes standard with the VentMaster downdraft vent system and AOP receptacle, keeping fumes out and airflow balanced. The front-loading design makes loading heavy filters easier and safer. This is the kind of commercial kiln that gives you control, consistency, and confidence, every time.
