From the most remote mines to the open seas, Ingersoll Rand turbine air starters are built to withstand the harshest environmental and working conditions. Their robust design and flexibility provide reliable, heavy-duty starting power for a wide range of applications, including industrial, oil and gas, marine, power generation, rail, and mining.

 

Unlike cantilever designs, our fully-supported, high-speed rotors minimize deflection and ensure concentric operation, significantly extending bearing life. Combined with a lightweight, lube-free, and field-serviceable motor design, it’s no surprise that leading engine OEMs worldwide choose Ingersoll Rand turbine air starters.
