At DPF REVIVAL we have put together answers to the most frequently asked questions about the cleaning and regeneration of diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and catalytic converters.
Here you will find clear information about our equipment CTW and TBSThis will reduce process times, costs versus replacement, maintenance, after-sales and return on investment for workshops and fleets.
Our aim is to help you understand why the professional cleaning of DPF filters in trucks, buses and mining machinery not only extends the service life of components, but also saves money and ensures compliance with environmental regulations.
In addition, is one of the most profitable businesses for a workshop or specialised service for cleaning, rectifiers, turbocharger companies, radiator companies, spare parts, fleets, etc.
The average cost of a new filter exceeds 2.500 €while professional cleaning costs around 600 €with the same result in terms of flow and efficiency.
All three models work with cleaning by waterThe CTW1400 is compact, the CTW1500 ideal for specialist workshops and the CTW2000 for large fleets.

The TBS 3000 with pneumatic technology in just a few seconds. 15-30 minuteswithout the use of water. It is the ideal choice for cylindrical filters of trucks, buses and mining. Some manufacturers recommend pneumatic cleaning due to the more sensitive components in filters such as DPFs in mining vehicles which have a high percentage of precious minerals and can suffer more wear with water-based methods.

All DPF cylinder filters and SCR/DOC catalytic converters on European and American trucks, buses and mining vehicles can be cleaned with REVIVAL DPF machines.
Depends on use: long-haul trucks every 150,000-200,000 kmmore frequent city buses.
Fuel consumption increases, power is lost and can lead to serious engine and turbo failures.
👉 Blog: What are the particulate filter problems and their causes?
Pneumatics (TBS 3000 / TB3100): 15-30 min.
Water (CTW): 1 h (including drying).
Thermal (TB3300): 8 h (including cooling).
