A diesel particulate filer unit 1 comprising a filter 4 for capturing particulates in the exhaust gas G of an engine E, and a regeneration control means 50 judging the start of the regeneration operation of said filter 4, according to the comparison between the value measured by exhaust pressure sensors 51, 52 and a predetermined exhaust pressure judgment value DeltaPes, Pes, Res wherein said regeneration control means 50 is configured to estimate the ash accumulated quantity SAsh of ash leaked into the exhaust gas G and accumulated in said filer 4, and correct said exhaust pressure judgment value DeltaPes, Pes, Res for judging the regeneration operation start based on this. Thereby, a diesel particulate filter that can judge the regeneration start timing appropriately, taking accumulation and deposit of ash generated from lubricant oil on the filter into consideration, and remove particulates efficiently all the way preventing the filter from clogging is provided. |
