Turbine Air Starters: Reliable Power for Heavy-Duty Engines 2025

When it comes to starting large diesel or gas engines, especially in harsh or hazardous environments, nothing beats the reliability of a turbine air starter. At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and repair high-performance air starters across Australia—including turbine, vane, and piston-style models. Whether you’re running compressors, offshore rigs, power generation units, or mining equipment, our solutions are built to last.
What Is a Turbine Air Starter?
A turbine air starter is a type of air-driven motor used to crank heavy engines. Instead of using a traditional electric starter, turbine air starters harness compressed air or gas to spin a turbine wheel, which generates torque and starts the engine. They’re ideal for applications requiring reliable cold starts, minimal maintenance, and high power in remote or explosive environments.
Compared to electric or vane starters, turbine models offer distinct advantages:
- No need for electricity (perfect for explosive environments)
- Longer service intervals
- High torque-to-weight ratio
- Corrosion resistance
