DPF Cleaning vs. Restoration

Don’t just clean it. Restore it with proven, OEM-validated results.

Why “Clean” Isn’t Always Clean &
How Ceramex Redefines Performance

When it comes to Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) servicing, there’s a vast difference between traditional cleaning methods and the validated, full-service restoration Ceramex delivers. While most providers offer a surface-level fix, our patented process restores filters to OE specifications, with results validated against OEM standards.

Our Process, Step by Step

The Problem with “Good Enough”

Basic DPF cleaning methods like bake & blow or air knife systems may improve airflow, but they don’t remove deeply embedded ash or guarantee long-term performance. These approaches often rely on manual inspections and offer no hard proof of service quality. What looks clean on the outside often hides internal blockages that lead to:

  • Shortened filter life
  • Engine fault codes and derates
  • Increased emissions and fuel usage
  • Unexpected downtime

Without proper validation, you’re left paying the price down the road.

A Smarter Solution:
Ceramex Restoration

Ceramex doesn’t simply clean filters — we restore them.

Our process is engineered to remove both soot and ash throughout the entire filter body, ensuring a complete reset in performance. Unlike typical shops, we use a safe, sustainable, water-based cleaning process that preserves filter structure and functionality.

Every filter is processed using our proprietary technologies:

  • Xpurge™: A patented system that thoroughly removes soot and ash.
  • Veritex™: A validation platform that confirms restored performance with flow data aligned to OEM standards.

No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just consistent, data-backed results.

Other providers may clean. Ceramex restores and validates.
