Certified Cleaning Options
Our Complete no-hassle Clean DPF Exchange Kit is the best option for minimal downtime.
Your DPF-equipped engine requires scheduled maintenance or cleaning of the DPF filter. Over time, the ash buildup that collects in the filter can restrict exhaust gas flow and increase back pressure. By proactively cleaning your filter, you can avoid unscheduled downtime and increase the filter service life cycle.
Kubota Makes It Easy
Kubota certified cleaning is designed to minimize your downtime. Just pick the DPF cleaning method that’s most convenient for you.

TLC for DPF
Trustworthy Cleaning from Kubota
The Kubota certified cleaning process uses state-of-the-art equipment, and includes a multi-step inspection, pneumatic cleaning, testing, air-flow check and thermal cleaning. Each cleaned DPF comes with a Kubota certificate-uniquely matched to your DPF by serial number-that assures you Kubota is completely confident that your DPF is clean and will perform to specifications.
The Kubota cleaning process combines years of expertise in Kubota industrial engines with engineering knowledge that ensures the cleanest-possible DPF.

Internal Imaging Equipment
The specialized equipment at Kubota can look deep inside the tiny DPF filter cells to perform detailed inspections that the naked eye cannot. This specialized equipment allows us to meet the highest standards for certified clean and usable DPFs.
Dual Cleaning
Some facilities use only high-pressure air to clean DPF’s and may charge you extra for thermal cleaning. The Kubota-certified cleaning process incorporates pneumatic cleaning and provides an additional high-temperature bake in a specialized kiln. After baking we perform a second round of pneumatic cleaning. This extra level of deep cleaning provides the best conditions for longer DPF life cycles.
