Key features

High-Pressure Hydraulic Supply

The unit provides a high-pressure hydraulic fluid supply to drive the starter unit on the gas turbine engine.

Compact and Efficient Design

Our SureStart units are designed for maximum efficiency, using a main and charge pump with integrated controls in a closed loop hydraulic circuit.

Flexible Operation

In addition to ‘normal’ starts, our units are capable of prolonged purge cycles, steady turbine rotation at lower speeds, as well as a selectable low pressure, low torque operation mode.

Filtration

Filter assemblies are strategically arranged for ease of use and maintenance, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

Retrofit Capability

Our system has been designed for quick installation and can be configured to match the interfaces of the legacy gas turbine configuration and location.

Classification

Our designs are tailored to meet specific zoning requirements based on the location, application, and customer specifications. We ensure compliance with various hazardous zone classifications, as well as unclassified or non-hazardous areas.
