The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Element Set with Sleeve, Air Filter designed for the VP1330, VP1550R, VP2050R, VP1550RW, VP1340R, and VP1340RW series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this set delivers an exact-match replacement that installs into the air filtration system with no guesswork. It fits the full range of VP-series plates listed above, covering 13 kN, 15 kN, and 20 kN output models in both standard and wide-drum configurations. When your compactor's air filtration is compromised, keeping the correct service parts on hand means your plate is back compacting soil, asphalt, and paving stone aggregate without delay.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Filtration Media — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's specified pore density and media grade, ensuring the filter element captures airborne particulates at the correct efficiency level for these small-displacement engines.
- Complete Set Including Sleeve — Includes both the filter element and the retaining sleeve as a matched pair, so the assembly seats correctly in the air filter housing without improvised components.
- Broad VP-Series Compatibility — Fits VP1330, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP1340R, and VP1340RW vibratory plate compactors, covering multiple output ratings and drum widths within the VP family.
- Protects Engine Performance Under Dusty Conditions — A properly functioning air filter prevents abrasive dust from entering the engine during compaction work on dry aggregate and asphalt surfaces, directly protecting internal engine components from accelerated wear.
- Direct OEM Part Number Reference — Part number 5000078020 is the authorized Wacker Neuson service part for this application, making cross-referencing against your machine's serial number straightforward.
The air filter element is the engine's primary defense against dust, grit, and fine aggregate particles that are constantly disturbed during plate compaction work. The element traps these contaminants before they can enter the carburetor and combustion chamber, where even small amounts of abrasive material cause rapid cylinder and piston wear. The sleeve holds the element firmly in position within the filter housing, maintaining a sealed air path and preventing unfiltered air from bypassing the media. When the element becomes clogged or damaged, the engine is forced to run rich, loses power, and is exposed to accelerated internal wear — making regular element inspection and timely replacement a key part of keeping a vibratory plate compactor running at full output.
