A diesel particulate filter or DPF is a filter that captures and stores exhaust soot thus, allowing reduced emissions from diesel engines. It is important to clean out the trapped soot that your DPF has acquired to avoid breakage and hazardous exhaust emission.
Unexpected downtime can be crucial to your fleet. Let us make it easier for your by utilizing Fullscope Fleet Services for pickup and delivery when you need your DPF cleaned. You can even drop off the items at our shop located in Lawton, OK for faster service.
Preventative maintenance is the key to making your filters last longer. Over time, the more exhaust soot that becomes trapped in your diesel particulate filter- the shorter your DPF lifespan becomes. Replacing a single DPF in your fleet can cost over $5,000. Be smart with your money and invest in getting your DPF regularly cleaned and prevent having to replace that expensive DPF. The choice is clear, contact Fullscope Fleet Services today for routine maintenance on your DPF! We will save you downtime time and money with DPF cleaning in Lawton, OK and surrounding areas!
It is important for you to clean your DPF on a regular basis to ensure your diesel is running smooth. Contact Fullscope Fleet Services located in Lawton, OK to enjoy the benefits of a clean diesel particulate filter or DPF such as:
EMR 98 MACHINE | HEAT TREATMENT | ULTRASONICS TREATMENT | CHEMICAL ADDITIVES | |
---|---|---|---|---|
DESCRIPTION | Put the filter on the work-top of the washing cabin and connect it to the water pipe. Press START: depending on the type and the size of the filter, EMR 98 Machine performs the washing of the filter and then dries it with hot air | Cut the DPF and put it into an oven that gradually reaches 1100-1300°F burning the carbon residuals. Then weld the DPF | Dip the DPF into a ultrasonic tank full of water. The ultrasonics form micro-bubbles insidewhich the temperature is very high and the pressure reaches 500atm. The implosion of the bubbles causes the detachment of the particulate matter from all of the filter substrates. | Put the chemical additives into the vehicle tank together with the fuel in order to melt the burning residuals inside the engine and to eliminate them through the exhaust pipe |
TIME | from 30 minutes (car DPF-FAP) to 120 minutes (truck DPF) | 8-12 hours Pneumatic cleaning: 90minutes Oven-baking: from 8 to 48 hours | 12-24hours,br/>ultrasonic cleaning + drying + pneumatic cleaning | |
COSTS | EMR 98 Machine is a one-of-a-kind machinery that performs all of the cleaning phases (washing + drying) without cutting, oven-baking and welding. | Backpressure Tester Oven Compressor Aspiration Cab | Ultrasonic tank Oven Compressor | There is a wide range of addivites; price change according to the manufacturer and to the channels of sale (from 20€ to 200€) |
ADVANTAGES/ DISADVANTAGES | Total Removal of PM10 residuals Removal of oil residuals Removal of cerium residuals Efficient cleaning of all of the types of particulate filter and catalyst (cars and heavy goods vehicles, also SCR) of every size Safety of the filter Preservations of the noble metals of the DPF Processing water always clean thanks to an efficient filtration system: no need to change the water but only to add it when it evaporates. Easy, fast and cheap | Removal of most of the PM10 deposits Risk of damaging the integrity of the filter because of the cutting and welding Melting of the cerium with the filter walls due to the high temperature Risk of thermal shock that can damage the noble metals | Deep cleaning of the filter cells Poor efficiency on very dirty filter (oil) and bigsized filters Risk of damaging the filter due to the vibrations generated by the ultrasonics and the implosions of the bubbles High water consumption (need to change it often to eliminate the PM10 cleaning residuals which deposit at the bottom.) | Ineffective: residuals are not actually eliminated and more are added to those generated by the additive itself, going to block further the particulate filter |
