Are you operating diesel or gas fuelled engines in hazardous zones or challenging environments? Air starters are the must-have requirement to ensure a safe workplace and reliable equipment operation. Air start systems unique advantages including total reliability in the most extreme conditions and temperatures, Zone compliance, and ATEX certification. Airstart systems are made locally in Australia and used globally across many market applications. EHL Group are your partner for Starting Systems.
Air starter motors provide a safe and reliable alternative for the starting of diesel & gas engines.
Unlike electric starters which potentially create sparks and require expensive, and sometimes unreliable batteries, air starters are powered by compressed air (pneumatics) – providing a completely safe and reliable energy source while totally eliminating all possibilities of electrical ignition.
What makes an air starter essential?
Whenever a diesel or gas fuelled engine operates in or around hazardous fumes, air starters are the first must-have appointment to ensure a safe workplace. On top of this air start systems offer benefits over other starting options such as total reliability in the most extreme conditions and temperatures.
Air start systems are the first line of protection for your staff and assets in hazardous or challenging areas!
Exploration and production in oil & gas fields, along with drilling and mining sites are standout industries for Austart air starters with less-obvious applications including maritime, road haulage, heavy vehicle and warehousing being just as critical in ensuring safety and efficiency..
