Keep your Elmo Rietschle KLT 15 dry-running rotary vane pump maintained with replacement carbon vanes from VacAir. The KLT 15 requires 6 carbon vanes for a complete change, measuring 55 × 39 × 4 mm each.
If your KLT 15 is due for maintenance or has stopped unexpectedly, speak to VacAir about replacement vanes, technical advice and urgent despatch or collection arrangements.
Specialist vane identification and delivery support.
If your Elmo Rietschle KLT 15 is approaching its scheduled vane inspection, VacAir can supply the replacement carbon vanes required to keep the pump maintained. This dry-running rotary vane pump uses 6 carbon vanes, each measuring 55 × 39 × 4 mm.
The correct Rietschle OEM reference is 513702, supplied by VacAir under replacement reference VA513702. The same carbon vane is used in several other Rietschle pump models, but not all of those pumps take six vanes. This page identifies the quantity specifically required for the KLT 15.
Regular inspection of carbon vanes is an important part of maintaining a dry-running pump. Allowing vanes to wear excessively can affect pump performance and, in some circumstances, lead to internal damage. Replacing worn components before they fail can help avoid a more extensive repair.
VacAir also supports KLT 15 owners with Elmo Rietschle spare parts, technical advice and vacuum pump servicing and repairs.

Carbon vanes gradually become shorter as they operate within a dry-running rotary vane pump. Their condition should be assessed against the manufacturer’s recommended inspection intervals and minimum permitted vane length. For the KLT 15, a full vane change requires six 513702 carbon vanes. When opening the pump for inspection, it is sensible to check more than the vanes themselves, particularly if there has been a change in performance, unusual noise or premature wear. Useful checks include: ✓ Rotor slots and freedom of vane movement
✓ Internal cylinder surfaces for scoring or damage
✓ Rotor shaft and bearing condition
✓ Inlet filter cleanliness and airflow restriction
✓ Carbon fragments and excessive dust deposits
✓ Signs of abnormal heat or uneven vane wear
Maintenance advice: If the old vanes have broken or worn unevenly, investigate the underlying cause before fitting a new set. Replacing the carbon alone may not resolve a problem caused by damaged pump internals.

A KLT 15 service may involve more than changing the carbon vanes. Depending on the pump’s operating hours and condition, filters and other maintenance components may also need attention. VacAir supplies Elmo Rietschle spare parts for routine servicing and repairs. Our experience in vacuum pump components dates back to 1996, and we support maintenance engineers, industrial users and service companies. If you are preparing a KLT 15 maintenance job, we can help identify the appropriate parts from the pump model, serial number and existing component references. This is particularly useful when several parts are being replaced during the same shutdown. ✓ KLT 15 replacement carbon vanes

Many customers have their own maintenance engineers and simply need the correct carbon vanes to complete a planned KLT 15 service. VacAir can supply the six 513702 vanes required for a full replacement.
Where a pump has suffered a vane breakage, repeated failures or a significant reduction in performance, further inspection may be needed before it is returned to service. Worn bearings, damaged rotor slots or internal scoring can contribute to ongoing problems.
Our experienced OEM factory-trained engineers provide vacuum pump servicing, fault investigation and repairs. Customers can therefore obtain both replacement components and professional engineering support from VacAir.
Whether you need assistance fitting a new vane set or investigating why a KLT 15 has stopped performing correctly, contact our team to discuss the work required.

The Rietschle 513702 vane is a good example of why pump-specific knowledge matters. The same physical carbon vane is used in multiple pump models, yet the required quantity is not always the same.
For the KLT 15, our team can confirm the six-vane requirement and assist with identification using the OEM number, VacAir reference or measured dimensions. We can also advise on additional maintenance components and servicing requirements.
VacAir has supplied vacuum pump vanes and spares since 1996. Our technical and engineering experience helps customers who need more than a part number, particularly when a pump has suffered unusual wear or an unexpected failure.
Our operations are supported by an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, reflecting our commitment to established business processes and customer service.
