Volvo, Mack Launch Reman Programs For Diesel Particulate Filters

The DPF cleaning process used by MRC was selected after a long search of available technologies. The companies said that testing showed the system is capable of removing more ash in one cleaning than other methods could in several cleanings and it can clean and remove ash from a fully plugged DPF. The system is also able to detect cracked filter elements during the cleaning process. The filter element is not subjected to high-pressure pulses that add additional stress, as with some other techniques, Volvo and Mack said.
