Why Your “Clean” DPF is Actually Costing You $1,000 PER DAY in Lost Uptime.

You’re tired of the cycle: DPF cleaned, reinstalled, REGULAR REGENS, and then the inevitable DERATE. You lose time, and you lose $1,000 a day in lost productivity for every rig down.

It’s time for a hard truth: The problem is not your discipline. The problem is the FAILURE of the traditional DPF cleaning method.

THE HIDDEN ENEMY: ASH ACCUMULATION

Traditional cleaning focus on removing the easy-to-reach soot, but they leave behind the deep-wall ash.

WHY? Because conventional heat and air-blasting methods CANNOT remove this bonded, hardened ash without damaging the substrate. They’re structurally incapable of doing the job!

The 5-Point Financial Black Hole of Traditional Cleaning:

❌ Inconsistent Results: Results vary by technician skill—you get guesswork.

❌ Hidden Backpressure: The residual ash drives constant, wasted regens.

❌ Component Killer: Accelerated degradation of your DOC and SCR.

❌ Zero Proof: No data, no images, no quantifiable validation.

❌ The BIGGEST Cost: It forces premature DPF replacement, costing you $2,000 to $6,000+ per unit.


You are paying for a short-term surface fix that guarantees long-term systemic failure.

THE CERAMEX DIFFERENCE: RESTORATION IS THE NEW STANDARD.

Ceramex does not clean filters. We RESTORE them to verified, OEM-level performance, and we prove it with data. This is your exit ramp from the reactive cycle.

Our Proprietary Solution is Built on Certainty:

Cleaning (Guesswork) Restoration (Certainty)
Soot Removal ONLY 95%+ Deep-Wall Ash Removal
Zero Data Verification Veritex™ AI Validation
Risk of Substrate Damage Substrate-Safe Xpurge™ Technology
Leads to $K Replacement Significantly Extends Filter Life

Xpurge™ Aqueous Technology

Our patented, water-based Xpurge™ process is engineered to safely dissolve and extract the hardened, deep-wall ash that destroys performance. It’s the only way to get the filter truly clean without fracturing the ceramic.

Veritex™ AI Validation

Stop trusting sight and weight. Veritex™ uses infrared imaging and AI classification to create a permanent, digital performance record of your filter. We confirm OEM airflow performance and check for microscopic cracks or melts before the unit ships. If it doesn't pass, it doesn't leave. No operator subjectivity. Just guaranteed results.

PROOF & THE PROFIT LEVERAGE

If you continue relying on basic cleaning, you are making a choice to pay the highest cost: unpredictable downtime and accelerated component failure.

Case Study: 5X Return on Investment

A major national fleet sent us 2,253 aftertreatment components. The results were indisputable:

  • They reached bigger savings compared to replacement costs.

  • Our Veritex™ validation prevented hundreds of unnecessary DPF, DOC, and SCR replacements.

READY TO DEMAND PROOF?

Stop betting your uptime on generic cleaning. Start investing in verified, documented restoration.

Validated restoration is the standard for fleets that prioritize uptime, cost control, and predictable performance.
