The Wacker Neuson Breather is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU 7060 and DPU 7060RC reversible vibratory plate compactors. As a direct factory replacement, this breather is built to the exact specification of the original part, ensuring a proper fit within the engine or gearbox venting system. It is compatible with both the standard DPU 7060 and the remote-controlled DPU 7060RC variants, making it a straightforward service solution for either configuration.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Venting Accuracy — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this breather meets the exact pressure-relief and filtration tolerances required for the DPU 7060 platform.
- Drop-In Installation — Matches the original mounting interface and port size, so it installs directly into the existing housing without modification.
- Broad DPU 7060 Coverage — Fits both the standard DPU 7060 and the remote-controlled DPU 7060RC, covering the full 70 kN reversible plate compactor lineup in this series.
- Protects Internal Components — A properly functioning breather equalizes crankcase or gearbox pressure, preventing seal blow-out and keeping contaminants out of the oil system during heavy compaction work.
- Fuel and Oil System Safety — A failed or clogged breather can cause excessive internal pressure buildup, leading to oil leaks or seal damage; replacing it promptly maintains safe operating conditions.
A breather is a small but critical venting component that regulates internal pressure within the engine crankcase or gearbox housing. During operation, heat causes pressure to build inside these closed systems, and the breather provides a controlled path for that pressure to equalize — preventing oil seals from being pushed out and oil from being forced into areas where it does not belong. When a breather becomes clogged or damaged, pressure rises unchecked, often resulting in oil leaks, accelerated seal wear, and potential internal damage to the compactor's drive system.
