Consolidating its smaller sites
into a single 7500m2 factory
unit has provided theatrical
lighting hire specialist, PRG
Europe, with opportunity to
fit a single Transair rapid-fit
compressed air pipework
system from Parker Legris.

Compressed air is vital to the
operation, with items returned
from hire requiring the use
of air tools, blowers and a
state-of-the-art spray booth.

System design required the
provision of compressed air
to practically every part of the
125 x 60m unit. A variable
speed compressor was
installed for maximum energy
efficiency and, with its low
pressure drops from
compressor to point of use,
the energy efficient nature of
Transair was an equally
important element.

A ring main in 63mm
corrosion resistant aluminium
Transair has been installed
throughout the site, with
drops in both 40 and 25mm
pipework taken to workbenches
and to the spray
booth. Around 1km of
pipework has been installed,
with a take-off ready for a
planned R&D department.
