Energy is stored in the form of hydraulic under pressure inside the piston accumulotor. The oil is released either via a foot operated or solenoid operated start valve. Once released, the oil travels to the storter motor, which engages with the engine ring gear and begins to cronk the engine. Once the engine has reached firing speed, the pinion gear is ceutomatically kicked back by the ring gear. The rechorging of the system can be done ‘manually by means ofa hand operated pump, electrically by means of a hydraulic pump or even through the host machine's onboard hydraulics Fapplicoble. With o range of 3 different physical sizes and 6 different starter displacements, engines os small as single cylinder woter pumps and as large as 16 cylinder, 80 litre earth moving machinery power plants con be started eke Powerstart hydraulic storters are made of rugged and durable cast iron and carbon steels ond they are therefore safe for use underground where the use of oluminium or other light metols may be boned. eine ees Powerstart hydraulic staring systems can be purchased pre-assembled ‘asmini-pok systems. These can be ordered with a variety of storters and, accumulator sizes and they arrive completely assembled, piped ond ‘ested along with hoses and fitings so that al that is requiredis the fitting of the starter motor onto the engine and the fixing ofthe starfing pack to any suitable surface. The units comprise of an accumulator, oil reservoir, relief valve, pressure gouge, hand pump, foot volve, starter motor and hoses and fitinas.Is operated by the hydraulic oil under pressure. + Made of rugged costiron + Lightweightyet aluminium free + Models cover a torque range from 30Nm to over 200Nm Offers an economical and reliable method of controlling @ hydraulic storter system + Castiron construction + Hordened and ground stainless steel spool for greater corrosion resistance + Front wiper and extended neck for greater spool service life Stores the hydraulic oil under pressure provided by nitrogen gus. + Made of certified seamless hydraulictube fortotal safety + End cap retention design prevents disassembly when pressurised + Conforms to PD5500:2006 andis Lloyd's certified + Tamper resistant chargevalve Provides a means of pumping up the system manually in the event of atotal loss of pressure.

Our success can be attributed to 0 total dedication to satisfying the needs of the customer in record-brecking time, thus providing first-closs service to support our first-class products. We differ from most manufacturers in that our ‘experience includes installing and repoiring starting systems, thus giving us first hand knowledge of real world ‘applications and problems. Powerstart hydraulic starters offer many advantages over electric starting which may vary depending on ‘applications and environments: © © Powerstart hydraulic storters require no electricity and therefore are non-sparking and this makes them ideol for flameproof applications. Powersiart hydraulic storters offer more power and torque per kilogram thon electric starters. The entire starting system is far lighter than an electric starter with its heavy batteries. Powersiai! hydraulic slurlers ure fotully seuled und are therefore isnmune fo cunlurninunts such as cul dus, corrosive solt spray or any other harsh environmental conditions. Furthermore, all moving parts are submerged in oil. Powerstart hydraulic starters offer faster cranking than electric starters. This means higher compression, in turn raising combustion temperatures and improving starting abiliy Total recharge time is greatly reduced. It would take minutes to charge an accumulator compored with the hours required to fully recharge a bank of batteries. All Powerstart hydraulic starters can be fitted with optional beryllium copper pinions for non-sparking cpplications. Hydraulic starfing systems can be recharged manually via an optional hand pump. This offers true “black start” copability. No other system can be manually chorged. Powerstart hydraulic starting systems offer nearly indefinite energy storage. Provided there are no leaks, the system con remain fully charged and ready. Batteries will only hold their charge for a limited period of lime. Powerstart hydraulic storfing systems are unaffected by temperature extremes. As long os the correct viscosity oil is used, temperatures can go well below freezing point. Powerstart hydraulic storlers operate without botteries and therefore the problems normally associated with maintenance and theft are eliminated.

Our components are manufactured and assembled at our state of the art manufacturing plant in Midrand, South Africa and exported the world over.
