Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Cleaning
Restore Performance, Reduce Emissions.
At DPF Resolutions, we provide professional DPF cleaning using OEM-approved pneumatic bake methods. Whether you're managing a fleet or a single diesel vehicle, our full-service restoration process returns your filter to near-new condition.
What Is DPF Cleaning and Why Is It Important?
A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) captures soot and ash from your diesel engine's exhaust to reduce emissions. Over time, these particles accumulate — and if left unchecked, they cause serious problems.
Our DPF Cleaning Process
Thorough, documented, and built around OEM standards
Inspection
We assess the DPF for damage or excessive build-up to determine the right cleaning approach.
Thermal Cleaning
High-temperature ovens burn off accumulated soot and ash, restoring filter porosity.
Pneumatic Cleaning
Compressed air removes remaining loose particles from the filter substrate.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
The filter is submerged in an ultrasonic bath to break down deep-set contaminants.
Final Inspection
We verify the DPF meets performance and flow standards before reinstallation.
Documentation
Each cleaning comes with detailed before-and-after flow reports for your records.
Benefits of Professional DPF Cleaning
Improved Fuel Efficiency
A clean DPF reduces backpressure, directly enhancing fuel economy across your fleet.
Cost Savings
Avoids expensive DPF replacements and reduces long-term maintenance costs significantly.
Extended Engine Life
Prevents engine strain and potential damage caused by clogged or restricted filters.
Environmental Compliance
Ensures your vehicle meets EPA emission standards and avoids regulatory penalties.
DPF Cleaning — Common Questions
What is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?
A DPF is an emissions control device that traps soot and particulate matter from diesel exhaust. It must be cleaned periodically to function properly and meet EPA regulations.
How do I know if my DPF needs cleaning?
Common signs include a DPF warning light, poor fuel economy, excessive regeneration cycles, reduced engine power, and high backpressure readings.
What is your turnaround time for DPF cleaning?
For off-vehicle cleaning, turnaround is typically 24–48 hours depending on filter condition. ReGenX on-vehicle cleaning takes just 2–3 hours.
Do you offer fleet services?
Yes — we work with fleet managers to provide regular service schedules, priority appointments, and volume pricing.
Will DPF cleaning fix all emissions issues?
Cleaning helps restore filter performance, but if issues persist we offer diagnostic services to identify problems with sensors, EGR systems, or DEF components.
