Air Starters
The GALI air starters are inten-
ded for use on internal combus-
tion engines and gas turbines.
For their size and weight, these
starters are extremely power-
ful, and additionally feature high
torque, high speed, low air con-
sumption and reduced mainte-
nance.
GALI starters can be operated at
a pressure ranging from 3/4 Mpa
(30/40 bar) as the maximum and
minimum working pressures de-
pend on installation conditions.
The rapid response and the high
speed of the GALI starters en-
sure that engines attain their ig-
nition speed virtually instantly,
thereby increasing the efficiency
of the starting operation.
The only starter on
the market to operate
directly at 30/40 bar
and thus eliminate the
need for problematic
reduction valves.
GALI / 2
Since GALI starters require no ex-
ternal lubrication there is also no
need for external pump lubrica-
tors which means a cleaner and
more ecological installation area
that is easier to maintain. They
are additionally very resistant to
humidity, saline atmosphere, and
vibration, and they are unaffected
by extreme temperatures.
GALI starters are successfully
implemented in a widest range
of applications including marine
engines (propulsion and auxi-
liary) generator sets, conventio-
nal and nuclear power plants,
military, locomotives, offshore,
mining, etc.
Wide range of different
models to start engines with
up to 12000 kW and more.
