ELMO RIETSCHLE KTA 80/3 REPLACEMENT CARBON VANES
The Elmo Rietschle KTA 80/3 operates with carbon vanes inside its dry-running rotary vane pumping mechanism. These vanes form an important part of the pump’s operation and are subject to progressive wear, making periodic inspection essential for maintaining dependable performance.
For the KTA 80/3, VacAir supplies replacement carbon vanes measuring 130 × 52 × 5 mm. A complete replacement requires six vanes. The primary Rietschle OEM reference is 523778, with alternative part numbers 526886 and 523851. VacAir identifies the equivalent replacement as VA523778.
New carbon vanes have a height of 52 mm, reducing through normal operation until the minimum permitted vane height of 38 mm is reached. Monitoring vane height helps maintenance engineers determine when replacement is necessary. As different KTA variants may use different vane specifications, the full pump model should be confirmed before selecting replacement parts.
Alongside carbon vanes, VacAir supplies Elmo Rietschle pump spare parts and provides vacuum pump servicing and repairs for industrial customers.

REPLACING CARBON VANES IN THE KTA 80/3
|
The six carbon vanes fitted inside the KTA 80/3 are designed to move within the rotor slots during pump operation. Over time, contact with the internal running surface causes the vanes to reduce in height. The original vane dimensions are 130 × 52 × 5 mm, with a 38 mm minimum permitted height. Measuring the vanes during planned maintenance helps identify when the replacement limit has been reached. If any vane has worn to 38 mm, the full set of six should be replaced. The internal pumping chamber should also be checked for damage, contamination or signs of uneven wear. Points to check during vane inspection: ✓ Measure the height of each carbon vane
✓ Check vane faces and edges for cracks or damage
✓ Confirm the vanes move freely in their rotor slots
✓ Examine the cylinder for scoring or wear
✓ Inspect the rotor and bearing condition
✓ Check filters and remove accumulated debris
✓ Investigate signs of overheating or irregular wear
KTA 80/3 minimum vane height: New vanes are 52 mm high. The minimum permitted height is 38 mm. Replace worn vanes as a complete set of six and investigate any broken or damaged components before returning the pump to operation.
