New OEM Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner

OTC, a SPX Brand, unveiled its new Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Cleaner, an OEM tested, dealer approved DPF cleaning system specifically designed to clean the diesel particulate filter element now being used on diesel engines to remove particulate matter/soot from the exhaust gases. The process allows the DPF to be cleaned as part of a general maintenance schedule at the service location with minimal time away from the vehicle, providing fleet managers with flexibility and control of their DPF cleaning at a local level, while reducing spare DPF inventory costs.

The unit consists of an enclosed HEPA-filtered cabinet, a provision for 120- to 150-psi air pressure and a strong vacuum which helps control loose ash in the cabinet. OTC's patented high-pressure cleaning process delivers approximately 10 times the burst energy over competitive models—based on the delta pressure and air burst duration—with an average cleaning cycle of 30 minutes depending on the level of contamination, and it can deliver up to 92% cleaning efficiency of ash laden DPFs when used with authorized SPX adapters and burst patterns.
