FASTLINE Northampton Diesel have been successfully cleaning exhaust treatment systems on vehicles for over four years.
Located within the exhaust system, a DPF captures small soot particles, preventing them from being expelled into the atmosphere. As with any filter it needs attention regularly and this is done automatically, by burning off the soot in a process called regeneration. This takes place over a period of steady speed driving for over 20 minutes. Urban drivers might find that low mileage stop-start motoring may prevent the DPF fitted to their vehicle from regenerating properly.
A potential problem with commercial vehicle and plant exhaust systems is a build-up of deposits from the AdBlue© additive. This reduces efficiency and can cause running problems. The cleaning process at Fastline Northampton Diesel involves both flushing with an environmentally friendly chemical and then thermal kiln cycling. This is carried out in controlled temperature stages over a period of time to effectively remove the deposits which also include any soot or ash. The process is cost effective, offering an alternative to buying a new unit.
Paul Thomas, Team Leader of DPF cleaning said: “We are seeing more and more vehicles with blocked DPFs and SCRs. The kiln allows us to handle the largest commercial vehicle, plant and bus systems as well. The cost of a new DPF can range from several hundred pounds for a car to several thousand pounds for an SCR for a truck.
“Our facility can provide a clean that is up to 98 per cent effective, environmentally friendly and is also cost effective, starting from as little as £195 plus VAT for a car or taxi. We feel we have an unrivalled success rate at regenerating systems for both small and large vehicle applications.”
The company offers a ‘same day by appointment’ or next day DPF cleaning service, with free collections and deliveries to our local area in one of the company’s vans boasting the latest livery, or nationwide by carrier. SCR cleaning is usually two days due to the thermal cycling and washing cycles.
