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 10):
The method of  claim 9  for use in a machine comprising:\n an engine generating exhaust with particulates; \n said filter element, having an inlet and outlet, to capture said particulates; \n a first conduit connecting said engine and said inlet of said filter element; \n a second conduit connected to said outlet of said filter element; \n a vibrating element mechanically coupled to said filter element for applying said forced vibrations to said filter element to loosen said retentate captured by said filter element; and \n said retentate collection system located in said first conduit for collecting said retentate loosened in said filter element, wherein whenever said engine is generating exhaust, said retentate collection system retains said collected retentate.
