Air for Daily Record

Publisher Trinity Mirror has upgraded the papers’ plant room, the engine house of the printing plant, which was previously using 15-20 year old galvanised steel pipes to carry compressed air around the facility. Glasgow-based Scot Industrial Air designed the new system and specified Teseo’s 110mm pipe system for the whole installation. Teseo says the aluminium modules are much easier to handle compared to the traditional galvanised tubes, more energy efficient due to the high flow rates (generally 30% higher than steel) which equates to a lower pressure drop and overall energy savings. David Beagan, chief engineer at Trinity Mirror Printing said: “We were setting about a significant reconfiguration of our plant room, relocating three existing compressors, installing two new air dryers and a new variable speed compressor to power the printing plant. Compared to the traditional piping system that we previously had, it was immediately obvious that the Teseo product was a superior system and more energy efficient.”
