DPF and Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC) Services
Few things are as important in the transportation industry than maintenance of vehicles. This is especially true of Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). Just as a regular oil changes make all the difference in a smooth and reliable vehicle's performance, a DFP ensures your diesel engine is not hampered by thick, viscous particulate.
A DPF is a filtering device that removes soot and congestive diesel particulate from the exhaust gas of diesel engines. Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) physically trap and remove particulate matter from an engine’s exhaust.
Keeping Your DPF Up To Code
Like any other device that does the work of filtration, a Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) should be cleaned in a regularly scheduled maintenance program. Depending on the frequency and mileage, it is suggested that a DPF be cleaned every 200,000 miles. We also service Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC).
The U.S. EPA recommendation is, "Cleaning of ash from retrofit Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) is typically required every 6 to 12 months. An engine emitting excessive particulate matter or experiencing inadequate regeneration will cause a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to require more frequent cleaning. Diagnostics should be performed to identify the cause for more frequent cleaning intervals."
So in addition to the benefit of having Texas DPF and Services clean and maintain your DPF, there is the cost saving and reliability factor to consider. In light of the high costs of truck and trailer transportation in general, cleaning and maintaining your DPF is an added benefit in cost savings.
High Quality and Quick Response
As most business owners know, a well organized system must be included in customer service for service to meet customer expectations. Particulate filter cleaning affects drivers who own their own trucks as well as the businesses these truckers serve. This transportation network requires our constant attention to details such as engines and fuel, as well as operational effects of these types of machinery and equipment.
Our highly trained, experienced staff works on customer projects in an articulated system that manages cleaning of diesel particulate while also focusing on expediting cleaning, repairs and replacements when possible. Customers appreciate the free pick up of filters after filters have been removed by their mechanic. When they reach our shop, they are inspected, air flow tested and weighed.
The inspection sheet is returned to customers when the filter is returned as part of our next day delivery. This type filter will require gaskets and clamps after the cleaning process is complete and replaced on the vehicle. We are happy to offer aftermarket gaskets and clamps as an added feature of our cleaning service of filters.
Since this type filter and DOC work as a single unit, our pros will be able to identify if the filter is no longer functional. Our aftermarket new filters and DOC will resolve the problem. For example, filters made of ceramic and metal on the inside may completely break down and crack, or there may be a hole internally from corrosion.
