TDI Air Starters

TDI Air Starters

TDI (TurboTwin Design Inc.) Air Starters are compact, durable, and powerful pneumatic starters used to crank large diesel and gas engines in marine, offshore, mining, and industrial applications. These starters operate using compressed air or gas, offering spark-free and explosion-proof performance — making them ideal for hazardous environments.
