PELJ1306 ?2011 Caterpillar REMAN DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTERS FOR MACHINE APPLICATIONS
To provide our customers with cost effective service options to support their Tier 4 emissions engines, Cat Reman has released a Reman version of the diesel particulate filters (DPF) used on many Tier 4 Cat? machines. The DPF traps both soot and ash. Soot is removed through a regeneration process outlined in the machines operation and maintenance manual. Ash that accumulates from engine oil is removed through a cleaning procedure that requires removal of the DPF from the machine. The cleaning procedure requires the DPF to be removed from the machine. Special Instruction REHS5045 outlines the three approved processes for performing the required Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) maintenance on Tier 4 products equipped with a DPF.
Replacement of the existing DPF with a new Cat DPF
Replacement of the existing DPF with a remanufactured Cat DPF
Removal of the existing DPF and having the DPF cleaned by a Cat approved cleaning device.
The Reman DPFs listed below are available to support these maintenance requirements:
Core Acceptance
After gaining some experience with the previously released DPFs used for on-highway engines and to support the launch of these additional machine DPFs, we have changed some of the inspection criteria and issued a revision to SELD0292. SELD0292-02 Caterpillar Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is the current Core Acceptance Criteria (CAC). It is critical to avoid non-operational damage that can decrease the value of the cores. Encourage service technicians to handle and package the cores with care so they will be more likely to be eligible for the full core refunds. Please always refer to the most current version at catreman.cat.com/core to view the latest requirements. The acceptability inspection for these is a simple visual inspection based on the following guidelines:
