Rietschle DTN 16 Replacement Carbon Vanes – 513702

ELMO RIETSCHLE DTN 16 REPLACEMENT CARBON VANES

VacAir Superstore stocks, supplies and sells replacement carbon vanes for the Rietschle DTN 16 dry-running rotary vane compressor. Our 513702 carbon vanes are available to industrial maintenance departments, engineering contractors and compressor service businesses seeking the correct parts for scheduled servicing or unexpected repairs.

Inside the DTN 16, six carbon vanes operate within the rotor assembly. Each new vane measures 55 × 39 × 4 mm. Their movement and contact with the internal running surface form part of the compressor’s normal operating process, so gradual wear is expected. Regular checks help determine when replacement is needed and provide an opportunity to examine other internal components.

The important DTN 16 service measurement is the remaining vane height. From a new height of 39 mm, the carbon must not be allowed to wear below the specified 24 mm minimum. Inspect all six vanes individually rather than assuming they have worn evenly. Cracks, damaged corners or unusual wear patterns should also be considered when deciding whether a compressor is ready for reassembly.

The 513702 vane is used in a wider family of Rietschle machines, including the DTN 15, KLT 15, KTN 16 and VTN 16. This shared part number makes accurate model identification important because the number of vanes fitted is not identical across every application. For the DTN 16, a complete set contains six pieces.

Alongside carbon vanes, VacAir can assist with Elmo Rietschle filters and spare parts. Customers requiring help with fitting, abnormal vane wear or compressor faults can also contact our specialist servicing and repair team.

DTN 16 VANE FITTING & PUMP SERVICING

Replacing DTN 16 carbon vanes is more than a matter of removing six worn pieces and installing six new ones. The condition of the rotor assembly and internal compressor surfaces should be assessed at the same time, particularly where the existing vanes have failed prematurely or exhibit irregular wear.

The compressor must first be safely isolated and the manufacturer’s service instructions followed. Once the vane assembly is accessible, examine the removed components and measure their remaining height. A new 513702 vane is 39 mm high, while the DTN 16 minimum permitted height is 24 mm.

Check that the rotor slots are clean and allow unrestricted vane movement. Inspect the internal running surface for scoring, the bearings for excessive play and the inlet filtration for signs of contamination. If a vane has fractured, ensure that fragments have been accounted for and the underlying cause investigated before reassembly.

When a full vane change is required, install six matching 513702 replacement carbon vanes, observing the correct orientation and fitting procedure. Mixing heavily worn carbon with new vanes is best avoided. A properly inspected compressor gives the replacement set a better chance of achieving its expected service life.

VacAir’s primary business is supplying the correct replacement vanes at competitive prices. Customers with in-house engineering teams can obtain the components directly. Our OEM-trained engineers are also available to assist with fitting, fault investigation, compressor servicing and repairs where required.

DTN 16 CARBON VANES — UK & WORLDWIDE SUPPLY

WHY BUY RIETSCHLE DTN 16 VANES FROM VACAIR?

Carbon vane supply has been part of our business since 1996. VacAir’s experience comes from decades of supplying industrial vacuum pumps, compressors and replacement components to customers who depend on their equipment. We know that purchasing vanes is often a small but important part of a much larger maintenance operation. Our aim is to make obtaining the right carbon vanes straightforward, with knowledgeable staff available when identification or technical assistance is required.

DTN 16 vanes stocked in the UK, in the correct specification. We stock Rietschle 513702 replacement carbon vanes, measuring 55 × 39 × 4 mm. The DTN 16 uses six vanes, and customers can order the complete quantity for their compressor. Because this vane is shared by numerous Rietschle machines, we pay attention to the model as well as the part number. A customer with several different compressors may require different quantities even though the vane dimensions are identical.

Specialist pump knowledge, not just an online catalogue. Our team works with replacement vanes, filters, vacuum pumps, compressors and industrial spare parts. We understand the importance of checking vane wear against the correct machine specification. For the DTN 16, that means a 24 mm minimum permitted height from the original 39 mm. We can also help customers consider whether uneven wear, damaged carbon or internal scoring points to a maintenance issue beyond the vane itself.

Competitive prices backed by our Price Promise. VacAir has always placed importance on supplying the right vanes at sensible prices. Our published Price Promise explains how qualifying like-for-like quotations from UK competitors may be considered. The objective is simple: customers should not have to choose between competitive replacement vane pricing and the reassurance of dealing with a specialist supplier. We are happy to discuss the relevant conditions when preparing a quotation.

Externally audited ISO 9001:2015 quality management. VacAir operates under a certified quality management system designed to support consistent processes, customer satisfaction and continual improvement. We take product identification, communication and service quality seriously. Genuine feedback from customers helps us understand where our service is meeting expectations and where improvements may be made. We believe an established industrial supplier should be judged by its real performance and reputation.

We do not fabricate product reviews, invent customer ratings or display artificial review scores on our website or provide them to search engines. Our products, expertise and reputation have supported customers across the vacuum pump industry for decades.

Technical assistance from people who understand the machinery. Our OEM-trained engineers can assist when vane replacement uncovers further problems, such as fractured carbon, scoring, restricted rotor slots or unexpected compressor noise. Fitting, servicing, fault investigation and repair support are available when needed. Equally, customers with their own engineers can purchase the six replacement vanes without having to take an additional service from us.

UK and international customers supported by an experienced team. VacAir supplies manufacturers, maintenance departments, specialist engineers, OEMs and industrial distributors throughout the UK and worldwide. Whether the requirement is a routine six-vane DTN 16 change or a larger spare parts order, our combination of UK stock, competitive prices, ISO 9001:2015 systems and established technical knowledge provides a dependable supply route.
