TDI Air Starters: Powerful Engine Starting for Heavy Industry 2025
When uptime is critical, engine starting systems need to work first time—every time. In the mining, oil & gas, and industrial sectors, TDI air starters are trusted for exactly that. With no reliance on batteries and fewer failure points than electric systems, these starters offer unmatched reliability, especially in remote or hazardous locations. At MultiTorque, we supply and service TDI TurboTwin air starters across Australia, helping our clients keep heavy-duty engines running smoothly, even under the harshest conditions.
What Are TDI Air Starters?
TDI (TurboTwin Diesel Industrial) is a globally recognized brand known for air-driven engine starters used in large diesel and gas turbine engines. These starters use compressed air or gas to generate torque and crank the engine—no electricity required.
Ideal for use in:
-
Mining and exploration equipment
-
Oil & gas field engines
-
Offshore drilling platforms
-
Marine vessels
-
Industrial generators and compressors
TDI air starters are known for their rugged construction, simple maintenance, and reliable cold starts.
Why Use TDI Air Starters?
✅ No Batteries Required
Air starters eliminate the dependency on batteries, alternators, and charging systems, making them ideal for remote or hazardous areas where electric starters can fail.
✅ Safer in Explosive Environments
Because they operate without sparks, TDI air starters are a safer option for explosive environments—such as oil refineries, underground mines, and offshore rigs.
✅ Instant Power
TDI starters deliver high torque immediately, even in cold weather or after long periods of downtime. They’re always ready when you are.
✅ Long Service Life
With fewer moving parts, TDI air starters are built to last. They’re not just tough—they’re field-proven, often running for years with minimal maintenance.
