With so many DPF cleaning options available, it’s important to separate fact from fiction. Recently, some vendors have spread misleading information claiming that proper DPF cleaning isn’t possible, suggesting that reconditioned DPFs are ineffective.
However, the real issue isn’t whether DPFs can be cleaned—it’s whether they are cleaned correctly. The truth is that proper DPF cleaning procedures using the right equipment extend filter life, improve performance, and save money.
The Truth About Proper DPF Cleaning
Some vendors claim that DPF cleaning is ineffective because one OEM manufacturer stopped using reconditioned filters. However, this decision was due to improper cleaning techniques, not because DPF cleaning doesn’t work.
Many of these misleading claims come from businesses that profit from selling new filters, rather than helping fleets implement cost-effective cleaning solutions.
With the right DPF cleaning system, fleets can:
Reduce operating costs by cleaning rather than replacing filters.
Extend filter life with proper ash and soot removal.
Ensure compliance by following the Truck Maintenance Council’s Recommended Practice for DPF Cleaning (RP 374).
Investing in a Professional DPF Cleaning System
Contrary to the claims of some vendors, in-house DPF cleaning is not only possible but highly effective and cost-efficient. The Enviromotive EvacuBlast DPF Cleaning System allows fleets to perform proper DPF cleaning in-house, following industry-recommended best practices.
