Regular cleaning is the proven way to save on unexpected costs from a failing diesel particulate filter (DPF).
DPF cleaning also prevents runaway fuel costs and unexpected downtime.
The overall life of your DPF is reduced when ash becomes imbedded in the filter cells. As this ash hardens, it becomes more difficult to remove, leading to non-functioning cells that are plugged with soot.
The cleaner your DPF, the longer its life expectancy. But not all DPF cleaning systems are created equal. Pneumatic cleaning equipment fails in accuracy—DPFs are more difficult to recover because these machines do not clean each individual cell within the DPF.
