The Wacker Neuson Oil Bath Air Cleaner is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 2440H reversible vibratory plate compactor. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original unit, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation on the DPU 2440H. Keeping the air intake clean is critical for diesel engine longevity on heavy-use compaction equipment, and this air cleaner is purpose-built to handle the dusty, abrasive conditions that reversible plate compactors operate in.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Filtration Integrity — Built to Wacker Neuson's original specification for the oil bath design, ensuring the correct oil capacity and filter housing seal performance for the DPU 2440H's diesel engine.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Mounts directly to the existing air intake housing on the DPU 2440H with no adaptation — same port dimensions and attachment points as the original assembly.
- Purpose-Built for the DPU 2440H — Confirmed fitment for the DPU 2440H reversible vibratory plate compactor (24 kN, 40 cm/16 in), a heavy-duty diesel-powered machine in the Wacker Neuson reversible plate family.
- Engine Protection in Abrasive Conditions — An oil bath air cleaner traps fine dust and debris before it reaches the engine intake; a worn or damaged unit allows contaminants into the combustion chamber, accelerating wear and shortening engine life.
- Fuel System Safety — A properly sealed air cleaner maintains the correct air-to-fuel ratio for clean combustion; a failing unit can cause rough running, excessive smoke, or hard starting on diesel-powered compaction equipment.
An oil bath air cleaner protects the engine by drawing incoming air through a reservoir of oil, which captures dust, dirt, and abrasive particles before they reach the intake valves and combustion chamber. On diesel-powered compaction equipment like the DPU 2440H, which operates in consistently dusty and debris-heavy environments, the air cleaner is one of the most critical service components on the machine. When the housing cracks, the oil seal fails, or the assembly becomes clogged beyond service, unfiltered air enters the engine — leading to accelerated cylinder wear, loss of compression, and eventual engine damage.
