Every™ Part. Genuine.
Genuine Cummins Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) are built to Cummins rigid specifications for performance and reliability, while meeting the most stringent emissions regulations. It’s not always easy to spot the differences between Genuine Cummins DPFs and non-genuine DPFs, but there are indeed differences. These differences can have a negative impact on performance and reliability in the long run.
Cummins recently conducted an analysis of Genuine Cummins and non-genuine DPFs. The results of this analysis highlighted some specific examples of the differences between Genuine Cummins and non-genuine DPFs.
Results of Analysis Impact
Smaller median pore size and thicker walls, resulting in lower cell density and lower porosity
Higher backpressure and reduction in performance
Faster rate of ash build-up, requiring more frequent cleaning
More susceptible to cracking due to rapid changes in temperature
Reduced performance, leading to early replacement
Non-genuine DPFs aren’t designed for optimum performance with a Cummins engine and controls system. Using non-genuine DPFs can lead to significant fault code problems and pressure readings that reduce performance. You may save a few dollars up-front on a non-genuine DPF, but you
may end up paying a lot more in the long run with more frequent cleaning, reduced performance and additional downtime. So don’t take the risk of using a non-genuine DPF.
Genuine Cummins DPFs are designed for complete systems integration, optimum performance, reliability and durability and include a full factory warranty.
Cummins network of over 3,500 authorized parts and service locations throughout North America ensures that a Genuine Cummins DPF is never hard to find. Cummins distributors and authorized dealers stock parts in local inventory, so no matter where you’re located, you can find a Genuine Cummins part.
From better performance and reliability to unmatched warranty and service support, Genuine Cummins DPFs add genuine value to your Cummins-powered equipment.
