Best DPF cleaner I tried.

Since using this DPF Cleaner my business process became so much more fun and interesting. I recommend it to anyone who does DPF Cleaning for sure. At least try it out. They also do private labeling.

We run three to four filters a day. The dilution is on the board and the tank lasts a quarter; that is exactly what I want to know about a product.

We used to send filters away and lose them for a week. Now we do them ourselves in between jobs and the car is back outside the same day.

A truck filter is an expensive item. Cleaning costs us an hour of machine time and a few litres of concentrate, and the back pressure is on the invoice.

I drive the unit to the customer, so water is scarce and the product has to do the work. Two cans in the back and I can keep going all day.

Before and after

The product

One concentrate,the wholefilter job.

DPF Cleaner is a water-based alkaline concentrate. It goes into the tank of your cleaning machine, dissolves the soot and rinses out. Also for catalysts, SCR units and loose parts with soot deposits.

  • Dissolves instead of scours

    The concentrate breaks down the soot deposit, so you rinse it out rather than blow or scrape it out of the channels.

  • No foaming

    It does not foam, and that is not a detail: foam in the tank makes the wash pump draw air and pushes the liquid over the rim. This stays liquid, even circulating under pressure.

  • Concentrate, so up to 1:10

    One can makes a bath filling. Dilute 1:10 for normal fouling, 1:5 for filters that have run on for a long time.

  • We make it ourselves

    Produced in the Netherlands by Cleanline Industries. The technical data sheet and safety data sheet come with it, and the formula can be adjusted.

Specifications

Ceramic open again

A particulate filter catches soot and ash. Soot burns off during regeneration, ash does not. That ash builds up until the channels are blocked, and that is where this product starts work.

How it works

How to use it.

Most workshops clean in a DPF machine: the filter goes into the cabinet, the machine mixes and heats the liquid and forces it through the channels under pressure. If you work with an immersion bath, the dosing is the same, you just let it stand instead of jetting.

  1. 01

    Remove the filter and blow it out dry

    Blow the filter out dry with compressed air first, against the direction of flow. The loose soot that comes out then does not have to be dissolved. Measure the back pressure so you know where you started.

  2. 02

    Fill and dose

    Fill the machine tank with water and add the concentrate: 1:10 for normal fouling, 1:5 for filters that have run on for a long time. The machine holds it at 60 to 70 degrees; cold water costs considerably more time.

  3. 03

    Run the programme

    Put the filter in the cabinet, clamp it and start the programme. The machine forces the liquid through the channels under pressure and circulates it. Count on 30 to 60 minutes; for heavy fouling let it run longer rather than dosing higher.

  4. 04

    Rinse and dry

    Rinse with clean water until the rinse water stays clear, in the direction of flow. Then dry it fully with warm air and measure the back pressure again before the filter goes back on the vehicle.

In the bath or the ultrasonic tank too.

Rebuild shops often work the other way round: parts go into a heated immersion bath or an ultrasonic tank. Same dilution, you just let it stand instead of jetting. Count on a longer dwell time, 60 to 70 degrees, and a rinse with clean water.

Questions

What customers ask.

Usually yes, as long as the ceramic element is intact. A filter that is cracked or melted will not be revived by any cleaner; you see that when you blow it out and measure it.
