Adblue and FAP Komptech Crambo 5200 problem codes and faults
Final elimination of Adblue and FAP on Komptech Crambo 5200
If you own a Komptech Crambo 5200 shredder equipped with a Caterpillar C13 engine, you may encounter problems. The problems mainly concern the FAP (particulate filter) and Adblue (SCR) devices. We'll give you more information on how to solve the problem permanently, as well as a better overview of the fault codes present.
Various codes such as 3714-31 indicate that regeneration is impossible due to machine parameter lockout. Fault codes 3719-0 and 3719-16 indicate a high level of soot in the FAP. Under the Tier 4F standard (inducement severity level), the severity level comprises different thresholds. Here, the second 'moderate severity' threshold is already preventing the machine from operating under optimum conditions, then the Severity level 3 blocks any likelihood of recovery without advanced or costly intervention. The ash level is also too high. In addition to these faults in the fine particle filtration system, we also have an SCR problem (4077-16).
How do you cope with all these codes?
There are no 2,000 ways of doing it. Either you call in CAT, who will change most of the machine's anti-pollution components and save you a good ten thousand euros, or you take the bull by the horns and remove the system for good. The solution of removing the DPFS and SCR system is possible via our software and programs specially developed for this operation. Theoretically, this operation is reserved for machines destined for export (it is legally forbidden in Europe to bypass anti-pollution devices). It's reserved for Africa and the Middle East.
The success rate of the operation
Our team of engineers specializes in creating tailor-made programs to remove anti-pollution systems from a wide variety of equipment. The operation is always a success and, above all, cuts your bill by a factor of 2 or 3.
Removing the particulate filter requires the physical intervention of your team of technicians to empty it. The ceramic must be removed to allow exhaust gases to flow freely. In our case, we had a soot level of around 120%... which is enormous and requires immediate intervention.
No more defects after the operation
Adblue FAP and EGR faults are now cleared, LIMP (Inducement reduction) mode is deactivated, and the machine regains full power.
Operations possible on the entire Caterpillar range
Our expertise enables us to work on all Cat machines, including all engines and ECUs. You can find an overview and feasibility of CAT machines on our explanatory page, as well as all our previous operations here.
