Go for the Gold

What is the difference between traditional DPF cleaning, Ultrasonic DPF cleaning, and Lynx Emissions’ Gold Service DPF restoration?

Have you been told your DPF has failed and must be replaced?

Does your diesel-powered unit feel sluggish or is it low on power?

Have you tried the traditional DPF “cleaning” and had a lot of questions about the results?

Is there a fix for this?

How much should it cost?

Up until now, when traditional DPF cleaning methods failed, your choices were to get a new DPF, or pay for a DPF delete.

Those days are over!

Traditional Cleaning Method = 2 Steps

1. Air Knife

Air is blasted through your DPF, so some of the soot is blasted back into the atmosphere.

2. Baking Process

Traditional air knife and baking DPF cleaning process was introduced to the industry in 2007 and what has been found since is that this if this process is done incorrectly, it can cause platinum deterioration, internal melting, or internal cracking of the DPF (diesel particulate filter) which results in premature DPF failures and SCR catalyst efficiency default codes. This can result in high costs for diagnostics and repairs.

Lynx Emissions Gold Service including Ultrasonic Restoration = 5 Steps

1. Air Knife

When you choose Lynx Emissions, the soot from the blasting process is collected using a proprietary, safe process, and disposed of in an environmentally responsible way.

2. Ultrasonic

While ultrasonic cleaning equipment (high frequency sound waves at millions of impulses per second to break down the built-up soot and ash) is becoming more common, to ensure your DPF is 98% clean and completely restored, this is just one of the five steps required.

3. Solution Flush

Your DPF goes through another proprietary and ecologically safe process to remove remaining soot.

4. Advanced Baking Process

The correct temperature, time, and cooling time is selected for your DPF based on the manufacturer’s requirements, and what other processes your DPF has completed.

5. Extensive Testing and Reporting*

Your DPF is tested and photographed both at the beginning and end of the process, and you get a report showing the testing results, and the condition of your DPF before and after your Gold Service.

*One fleet manager told us, “Those reports are worth their weight in gold!” It turned out to be literally true: The weight of the 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper your filter reports are printed on is ~5 grams. And the price of 24 karat gold is ~$100/gram at the time of writing. So if your report fits on one sheet of paper, its close to the value of a typical gold restoration. Whether you decide to proceed with a restoration or not, you still get the report!
