Synerject Finalises 4-Stroke Direct Injector for Production

Synerject, the 50:50 Joint Venture between Orbital and Siemens VDO has completed the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) on the "STRATA" Air Assisted Direct Injector for production 4-stroke engine applications.

The new "Strata" 4-stroke direct injector shares the solenoid and body with the current 2-stroke injector which has been in production since 1996 in Orbital Combustion Process 2-stroke outboards and motorcycles products.

The 4-stroke injector has a longer leg length to suit the 4-stroke engine packaging and a new range of nozzle/seat configurations specific to the various 4-stroke engines which are being targeted for future production.

The PPAP, an integral part of the six sigma quality standards, had been completed to support customer requirements for Orbital's first production 4-stroke Direct Injected products later this year.

The production ready injector opens up new opportunities for Orbital and its customers as the injector is now fully validated and readily available thus significantly reducing any risk to the customer introducing Orbital Direct Injection products to meet the growing demand for cleaner and more flexible engines.

The PPAP, an integral part of the six sigma quality standards, had been completed to provide the quality injector supply for Orbital’s first production 4-stroke Direct Injected product, the recently released kerosene (JP8) fuelled MV800 All Terrain Vehicle by Polaris Industries.
