Heavy duty

Truck DPF cleaning: fluid for HGV, agricultural and plant filters

Truck, tractor and plant filters are larger and more expensive than car filters, so a clean that works the first time counts for more. DPF Cleaner is the same concentrate for all of them: alkaline, non-foaming, 1:10 for normal fouling and 1:5 for the worst. For volume work we supply 200 litre drums and 1000 litre IBCs.

Same product, bigger tank

A heavy duty filter needs a larger cabinet or bath, and a larger tank means more concentrate per fill. The dilution does not change: 1:10 for normal fouling, 1:5 for filters that have run on for a long time. What changes is how much you buy, and that is where the pack size counts.

  • 20 litre cans for a workshop that cleans a heavy filter now and then
  • 200 litre drums for a cleaning line that runs every day
  • 1000 litre IBCs for companies where filter cleaning is the core business

Heavy fouling: more time, not more product

Filters from vehicles that kept running on a blocked filter take longer. Go to 1:5 and extend the programme rather than pushing the dose higher. Keep the bath at 60 to 70 °C; on a large element, cold water costs considerably more time.

Measure the back pressure before and after. On a truck filter that figure is what you show your customer.

Ceramic and metal elements

DPF Cleaner is suitable for ceramic and metal filter elements, catalysts and SCR units. If the catalyst or the SCR unit comes off together with the filter, it can go through the same fill.

A heavy duty filter, step by step

  1. 01

    Check the element

    Blow the loose soot out dry and look at the ceramic. A cracked or melted element is not worth a clean. Measure the back pressure as your starting point.

  2. 02

    Mix for the load

    1:10 for normal fouling, 1:5 for filters that ran on for a long time. Bring the bath to 60 to 70 °C.

  3. 03

    Give it time

    Count on 30 to 60 minutes, longer for the heavy ones. Extend the time rather than the dose.

  4. 04

    Rinse, dry, measure again

    Rinse with clean water until it runs clear, dry fully with warm air and measure the back pressure before the filter goes back.

What it does not do

  • It does not save a cracked or melted element.
  • It never goes into a fuel tank or an AdBlue tank.
  • It does not replace a diagnosis on the vehicle: if the cause of the blockage stays, the filter comes back.
  • It should not stand undiluted on aluminium or painted parts.

Questions

What filter cleaners ask.

Is there a separate product for truck filters?

No. The same concentrate works on car, van, truck, tractor and plant filters. For heavier fouling you go to 1:5 and a longer programme.

How much concentrate do I need for a truck filter?

That depends on the volume of your machine tank, not on the filter. At 1:10 a 200 litre tank takes 20 litres of concentrate, at 1:5 it takes 40. Several filters go through one fill until the liquid saturates.

Do you deliver drums and IBCs outside the Netherlands?

Yes. We ship across Europe, from a single can to IBCs, always within 5 working days. The shipping cost per country is shown in the order block before you pay.

Can catalysts and SCR units go into the same tank?

Yes. The method and the dilution are the same; the dwell time differs per type of fouling.

Can I sell it under my own brand?

From a fixed annual volume we produce it under your own label, with the safety data sheet in your name. Email support@cleanline.nl.
