We offer a unique cleaning solution using ultrasonic technology. It restores components to OE specifications, resulting in better fuel economy and useful life from the DPF filter. We offer superior DPF cleaning services as an alternative to costly replacements.
See our services and cleaning and restoration levels here.
Our proven Ultrasonic cleaning method utilizes proprietary high frequency sound waves at millions of impulses per second to break down the built-up soot and ash. Our specially formulated solution flushes particles away and keeps them from adhering back to the cell walls. The DPF Company offers superior DPF cleaning and restoration services as an alternative to costly replacements.
Our proprietary ultrasonic restoration method utilizes high frequency sound waves that cause microscopic bubbles to break down built–up soot and ash. We catch those contaminants with a specially formulated solution that carries them away from each cell and prevents them from adhering back to the cell walls. We developed the Ultrasonic cleaning service after extensive refinement and testing. You won’t find this kind of cleaning anywhere else.
The Ultrasonic Restoration should last as long as a new DPF filter. Regular cleaning or also known as blast & bake cleaning will clean a filter without doing the ultrasonic step, meaning there could still be some debris left in your filter and that it will clog up faster.
It will depend on what the manufacturer requires or recommends and will also depend on how your equipment is being used (highway driving differs hugely from city driving).
We believe a thorough DPF inspection involves a visual inspection, flow test, pin test and light test to ensure DPF filter integrity and that the filter has been returned as close as possible to its original factory condition.

Regular engine maintenance is largely the biggest factor in ensuring the best performance from the DPF. Restriction from dirty air filters, worn components etc. are all factors that will increase soot loading of the DPF. Low-ash engine oils are always a recommendation as they lower the residual ash deposit in the DPF through the regen process. There are some newer products on the market today that are known as FBC (Fuel Borne Catalyst) that significantly improve engine combustion and lower soot loading of the DPF.
The DPF service life can be limited several ways, we would recommend a mechanic should look at the coolant, look for oil leaks, failing fuel injectors and even dust in the air intake system.
Yes, see answer above. We believe that regular cleaning and servicing of the DPF filter does extend the overall life of the filter, will reduce the risk of filter failure, and will lower the risk of other engine component failure because of lower overall back pressure.

Yes, we have new aftermarket DPF’s for sale if yours is cracked, damaged or can not be restored.
The pricing range between these two options will be very significant. A new replacement DPF cost will depend on what kind of vehicle you have however it will most likely cost you thousands of dollars.
If the truck is doing multiple regens (4+ per week), there is a high chance your DOC needs replacing. If you notice your vehicle doing multiple regenerations in a short period of time, this usually means precious metals are no longer working.
Removing the DPF from your aftertreatment system can be a legal issue depending on where you are from. In some Canadian provinces, it is mandatory to have a DPF filter as a part of your aftertreatment system. Having your filters removed or “deleted” could lead to unexpected charges.
We offer and stock replacement parts for your aftertreatment system including DPF filters, clamps, gaskets, bungs and sensors.
Pricing for our products can be found on our website.
At this time, we do not have a website that you can order from however you are welcome to call or email our team to place your order.

It is important to have your DPF cleaned as recommended by the manufacturer of your vehicle to ensure your aftertreatment system continues to operate smoothly. If maintenance on the DPF is ignored, it can cause expensive and unexpected downtime.
If you are experiencing excessive regeneration, or your unit feels sluggish or low on power? This is an indication that your aftertreatment filters may be plugged and need to be cleaned. DPF’s, DOC’s, SCR’s and EGR’s can all be cleaned. Contact us today!
It will depend on what the manufacturer requires or recommends and will also depend on how your equipment is being used (highway driving differs hugely from city driving).
Yes, we do! We have restored several one box systems. We have a process for testing, cleaning, and restoring key areas of your aftertreatment system. Our service includes:

Yes, there are. If we cannot clean your DPF filter, you do not pay.
We have a lifetime warranty on our level 5 service, a 1-year warranty warranty on our level 4 service, a 6-month warranty on level 3.
*Terms and conditions apply.
Yes, we can clean your SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) filter.
The typical cycling of regens will be continuously leaving an ash residue in the filter. This ash mixed with the heat and moisture from the exhaust will bake that ash into the filter. While traditional blast and bake methods of cleaning are effective at removing some of this material, it can often become heavily impacted if the filter has not been cleaned regularly. Through extensive research and experience we have found that ultrasonic technology combined with a pneumatic aqueous flush followed by kiln drying is the most effective way as restoring the DPF to 98% of its original condition.
If your filter has been restored using our superior level service, it should perform as well as a new filter. Our superior service will restore your filter to like new condition meaning that it should last as long as a new filter.

Soot and/or ash that is removed from filters during the cleaning is collected in our dust collection units and disposed of in accordance with government regulations in each local jurisdiction. Where possible we recycle/reuse any waste by-products to reduce the environmental impact diesel engines have on the environment.

Delaying regen is never a good idea. The results typically are sustained higher back pressure. This will cause accelerated wear on the turbo seals, valves and increase the risk of fracturing/cracking in the DPF filter. Sustained high levels of soot loading will also increase the risk of uncontrolled regen or DPF melt-down which will obviously destroy the DPF.
Primarily we see oil leaks poisoning and deactivating the precious metal coatings of the DOC. This then reduces the DOC’s ability to convert gases and the DPF’s ability to regenerate the soot into ash, thus driving up the need for active regens.
DPF service life can be limited by coolant and oil leaks, failing fuel injectors, and even dust in an air intake.

There are many factors at play here. Drivers in general are familiar with regular periodic replacement of their air filters, oil filters etc. Unfortunately, it is accepted practice in the industry that you wait until you get warning lights on the dashboard before servicing the DPF. We would highly recommend operators review the work cycle of their vehicle (City Truck vs Highway Truck) and schedule DPF cleaning into the preventative maintenance schedule.
