The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Air Cleaner Assembly designed for VP and AP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, including the VP1135R, VP1340R, VP1550R, VP2050R, and AP1550R. As a factory-sourced component, it meets the same specifications as the original part installed at the time of manufacture, ensuring a correct, consistent fit across the compatible plate compactor lineup. This assembly is confirmed for fitment on both standard and wide-drum VP variants, covering a broad range of compaction widths from 350 mm to 500 mm.
Key Features
- Engine Air Protection: — Engineered to the original filtration specification, this assembly shields the engine from dust, debris, and fine aggregate particles common in compaction environments.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original design tolerances, ensuring the housing, sealing surfaces, and filter element interface match the factory configuration exactly.
- Drop-In Fitment: — Designed to connect directly to the engine intake on compatible VP and AP series plates with no re-routing or adapter hardware needed.
- Broad Model Coverage: — Fits the VP1135R, VP1135RW, VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP2050RW, and AP1550R vibratory plate compactors in a single part number.
- Engine Longevity: — A properly functioning air cleaner assembly prevents abrasive particles from entering the combustion chamber; a clogged or damaged unit accelerates cylinder and piston wear and can cause hard starting or loss of power.
The air cleaner assembly is the engine's first line of defense against airborne contaminants. On a vibratory plate compactor operating over soil, gravel, or asphalt, fine dust is constantly kicked up around the machine, making a fully sealed and correctly seated air cleaner critical to protecting internal engine components. When the assembly is cracked, improperly seated, or the filtration media is exhausted, unfiltered air bypasses the system and introduces abrasive particles directly into the engine, leading to accelerated wear and potential engine failure. Replacing the complete assembly — rather than just the filter element — restores the housing seal integrity and ensures the entire intake path is protected.
