OTC enhances DPF cleaning line with 5281 DPF Thermal Processing Unit

OTC, an SPX Brand, unveiled its Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Thermal Processing Unit (P/N 5281), designed to increase the efficiency of DPF cleaning by converting unburned hydrocarbons into ash prior to the air burst cleaning cycle. Pre-programmed to ‘ramp up’ temperature at a rate that will not crack the substrate of the filter, the OTC DPF Thermal Processing Unit holds temperature constant for two hours to ensure complete regeneration of the filter, and automatically decreases temperature at a controlled rate to protect the filter’s substrate. Featuring a robust design for long operational life, the OTC 5281 DPF Thermal Processing Unit includes a cordierite shelf and stainless steel tray to protect the internal insulation of the unit. It also features a redundant door lock/safety switch for maximum protection to the technician and the shop. The unit’s computer controlled process is pre-programmed to execute the entire thermal regeneration cycle, providing ‘start-to-end’ regeneration without constant technician monitoring. The 5281 is ETL certified to the UL499 and UL201 standards.
