Abstract:
A cleaning system and method of cleaning filters that removes the ash in the plugged regions is disclosed. The filter is subjected to vibrations, which serve to loosen trapped and packed retentate from the filter. The loosened retentate is then captured by a collection bin. The cleaning system can be integral with the intended application, such as within an automobile. In another embodiment, the cleaning system is a separate cleaning station, where the filter is removing from its intended application, cleaned, and then reinstalled.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of cleaning retentate from a filter, comprising:\n applying forced vibrations to a filter element, said forced vibrations being used to dislodge and remove retentate from the filter, a location where the forced vibrations are applied varying while the filter is being cleaned; using a fluid to remove said retentate dislodged by said forced vibrations; and collecting said retentate in a retentate collection system.
