Mack Trucks, Inc. Launches Large Scale Diesel Particulate Filter Remanufacturing Program
Tuesday. November 18. 2008
Mack Trucks, Inc. launched a large scale program to remanufacture diesel particulate filters (DPF) for the trucking industry. The program will operate out of the Middletown Remanufacturing Center (MRC) in Middletown, Pa.
Diesel particulate filters use ceramic filter elements to trap and contain particulate matter in engine exhaust. The particulates are reduced to a fine ash which must be periodically cleaned from the filter element, usually every hundred thousand miles in normal operation. Mack's innovative DPF design allows the filter element to be quickly and easily removed for service, and a replacement filter readily substituted. This reduces time and cost associated with DPF servicing.
