Rietschle Vacuum Pump Spare Parts

We stock an extensive range of part numbers across the current Elmo Rietschle range (V-VC, V-VCB, V-VCE, C-VLR, S-VSI, L-BV, G-BH, F-Series) plus all the legacy Rietschle ranges (KTA, KTC, VLT, VLB, DTA, CLF) and pre-merger Elmo SAP/SAH. Parts include carbon vanes, filters, valve plates, service kits, mechanical seals for liquid ring, and bearings.

They are the same product range. Rietschle (the German rotary-vane and claw heritage brand) and Elmo (the German liquid-ring and side-channel heritage brand) were combined by Gardner Denver as "Elmo Rietschle" around 2005/2006, and the entire range now sits within Ingersoll Rand's Precision and Science Technologies segment after the 2020 merger. Older equipment may still be branded "Rietschle" or "Elmo" only — the spares are the same family.

Yes — carbon vane sets for the full V-VC range from V-VC 50 through V-VC 1300 are stocked, along with the dry V-VCB and V-VCE variants. Both genuine Elmo Rietschle vanes and OEM-equivalent options are available from stock.

Yes. Legacy Rietschle CLF (CLFT 41 / CLFT 65 dry-vane), DTA (DTA 100 / 140 oil-lubricated), KTA / KTC claw, and VLT / VLB rotary vane pumps remain widely in service in UK industry. We hold vanes, filters, and service kits for these and can advise on cross-references to current V-Series equivalents where the legacy part has been superseded.

Yes. We stock single and double mechanical seals for L-BV2, L-BV5, and L-BV7 liquid-ring pumps, plus impellers, casings, and bearing kits. Liquid-ring failure modes are usually impeller erosion or mechanical seal wear — we can supply individual components or full overhaul kits.

Oil and oil filter every ~2,000 hours for clean industrial duty (more frequent if condensable vapours are present); vane wear inspection at ~8,000–10,000 hours; full vane and seal kit typically at 16,000 hours. Claw pumps (C-VLR) are largely maintenance-free apart from gear oil and inlet/exhaust filter changes.

Generally no — the V-VC platform is a re-engineered range with different rotor geometry. We can supply OEM-correct vanes for both the current V-VC and the legacy VLT/VLB pumps. Always quote the model and serial number from the nameplate.

All in-stock Elmo Rietschle parts are available on a next-day UK mainland basis. Some specialist liquid-ring components (mechanical seals on larger L-BV pumps) may require additional lead time; our team will confirm at the point of order.
