Two-stage DPF Cleaning System
Donaldson offers a diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning system for truck maintenance facilities. The unit features a two-stage cleaning system. The first and second stage units are sold separately.

The first stage – the DPF Pulse Cleaner – is for ash cleaning and operates in less than 15 minutes, says the company. The second stage – the DPF Thermal Regenerator – is a seven-hour cleaning cycle for filters that become plugged because of engine component failure.

According to the company, both units offer minimal maintenance, are simple to operate and clean both active and passive DPF emissions devices.

Engine Metal Conditioner
Engineous USA has developed GO-15, an engine metal conditioner that uses proprietary metal lubricity technology to change the engine surfaces, the company says. The product uses the heat and friction from the engine to incorporate itself, and subsequently change, the chemical composition of the metallic surfaces of the inner engine parts.

Microscopic pits, depressions and irregularities are repaired, the company says, which in turn lowers metal-to-metal friction significantly.
