TECH DEVELOPMENT
The T50-P Turbine Air Starter delivers 40 hp of cranking power for starting medium size gas and diesel engines. At only 34 lbs. (15.4 kg) and 5.76 in. (146 mm) in diameter, its size-to-power ratio sets the industry standard.
Refinements to the TurboTwin™ design have reduced noise levels below standards previously thought to be unattainable in air starters.
It's easily the quietest starter in its class. Additional design refinements have further reduced the number of contact parts which will yield even longer life and provide maintenance free operation. Click here for the T50 Air Starter web page on TDI's web site.
40 hp At Only 34 lbs. It's A Powerhouse!
T50 is truly a breaktrough design, delivering unparalleled power for engines up to 70 liters. That's over 25% more torque and power than competitive models per unit volume of air - all in a lightweight, compact package.
The World's Most Contaminated Air Has No Affect On T50
The T50's turbine motor has no rubbing vanes to stick, swell, or wear out - dirty, wet air has no effect on internal parts. Contaminated air that clogs, damages and shuts down other starters passes through TurboTwin™'s open air path design. The T50's efficiency means you use less air and engines start quicker…even in bitter cold or sweltering heat.
No Compromise On Any TurboTwin™ Part
T50 uses only high-quality, high-strength steel and aluminum alloys machined to the industry's tightest tolerances. There's no cutting corners, and definitely no plastic parts as used in other turbine air starters.
Fewer Moving Parts Means Fewer Repairs
T50 features half the moving parts found on other turbine air starters. Its design yields greater reliability and minimizes part count. This means lower operating costs.
No Oil Means Easier EPA Compliance And A More Reliable Starter
The T50 gearbox is grease-packed for life; there is no need to add starter lubrication and there are no fugitive exhaust emissions. Cleaner operations means greater workplace safety.
