Useful Information About Mechanical Starter

Usually electric motors are used to start diesel engines. When meeting the lack of maintenance, no charge of battery, or power is down, the engine will not start normally. When in an emergency occasion, the consequence is serious. Mechanical starter, which is an efficient non-electric engine starting device, can solve the starting problem when the battery is low and can start a diesel engine without electricity, purely depends on the hand crank system for engine start.ing

What’s The Mechanical Starter

The mechanical starter is a device to start the engines without electricity. Electric batteries are one of the most common power sources for engine start. But the batteries always can’t work in the extreme low temperature, damp and harsh environment and the hand crank starter will be the ideal choice. This is the reason why marine, offshore oil, underground mining need a mechanical start device.

Advantages of Mechanical Starter

1.Effective In Extreme Low Temperature

When in a cold weather, cranking an engine is a hard work and takes much more energy with the thickened viscosity of the oil. The engine may not crank fast enough to start. The low temperature will slow down its chemical processes of a battery, which makes the power becomes lower.

The mechanical engine starting system doesn’t require the battery and is a mechanical device which only relies on manpower can start the diesel engine with displacement up to 50L.

2. Independent Startup System

Mechanical engine starter has an independent starting system does not require hydraulic, pneumatic nor electricity and no auxiliary equipment is required.

3. Simple Hand Crank System

Mechanical starter has an important back up solution when everything else fail, an option for hand crank charging. The operation is simple with winding the handle and pushing the release lever, then the starting process being completed. The maintenance is also easy.

4. Environmentally friendly

The mechanical starting system has no energy consumption and no pollution emissions. Used batteries will pollute the environment and the decay of the battery will produce toxic substances

5. Lightweight And Minimizing Space

With simple manual crank system, the mechanical engine starter will not take up much space. It’s lightweight and easy to carry.

The mechanical starter solves the problem that the engine can’t start when the power of battery is low or out of power. It has a simple manual crank system with flexibility and reliability.
