“Let's go to a concert!” In recent years, concerts have practically become a national pastime. From dramatic lighting, moving stage platforms, to the emotional energy of a stadium-wide singalong—concerts create moments we fully immerse in. But—have you ever wondered… When you finally walk into the venue with excitement, have you ever thought: How is a concert stage built? How do indoor and outdoor stages differ? What system ensures every movement is precise, safe, and flawless? A concert stage is essentially a temporary industrial automation system From setup → rehearsal → the live show, pneumatic systems play an irreplaceable role throughout the entire process. Every phase of a concert—from building the stage to the final performance—requires different pneumatic equipment. For outdoor stages that must be constructed from scratch, the pneumatic system takes on completely different tasks at each stage. 1. Stage Setup: Pneumatic Tools Do the Heavy Lifting During truss assembly, LED wall installation, and frame construction, crews rely heavily on pneumatic impact wrenches, cutters, and nailers. They need hoses that are: Resistant to foot traffic and dragging Hard to rupture Stable in airflow and volume Commonly Used Hose Assemblies: ✅ Reinforced PU Air Hose Assemblies ✅ Hybrid PVC Air Hose Assemblies 2. Rehearsal & Adjustment: Platforms, Lifts and Mechanisms Move Into Action Lifts, trapdoors, rotating stages, and moving platforms all rely on pneumatic cylinders and valves. Tubing requirements include: Pressure resistance and dimensional stability Flexibility for repeated movement High sealing performance and quick installation Tubing / Fitting Key Characteristics Nylon 12 Tubing (PA12 Tubing) High pressure stability, minimal deformation Polyurethane Tubing Ester Flexible, oil/abrasion resistant Polyurethane Tubing Ether Hydrolysis-resistant, suitable for moisture One Touch Fittings (Push-in Fittings) Excellent sealing, quick and tool-free installation Speed Controllers Controls cylinder motion speed Check Valves Prevents backflow, adds safety At this stage, the durability of the tubing and the sealing performance of the fittings directly determine the safety of the stage mechanisms. 3. Live Performance: 80% of Stage Effects Are Pneumatically Driven Rising, dropping, firing, pushing, inflating — Most of these effects rely on pneumatic power. So what types of tubing and fittings are typically used to support these stage effects? Stage Effect Pneumatic Requirement Common Tubing CO₂ Jet Low-temperature flexibility Reinforced PU Air Hose Confetti Shooters Medium–low pressure, fast response PU Tubing Ester One Touch Fittings Air Ram Launcher High-pressure impact R7 / R8 Hydraulic Hose Inflatables Continuous airflow PU Tubing Ester Nylon 12 Tubing One Touch Fittings Speed Controller Check Valve Stage Lifts Stable control Using the appropriate tubing for each section, such as: R7 / R8 Hydraulic Hose Reinforced PU Air Hose Nylon 12 Tubing Why Pneumatics Instead of Pure Electric Systems? The reasons are simple: Faster response for instant effects Safer failure mode than electrical systems Fast setup/teardown for touring productions Next time—when you're scrolling your phone before the show starts, take a second and imagine how many systems are moving beneath the stage. You'll realize that every lift, burst, push, and inflation is powered by a precise and reliable pneumatic system. If you're planning or upgrading your pneumatic setup and need guidance on tubing or fittings, SHPI is here to help. For 40 years, we' ve focused on reliable tubing and fittings—supporting stable and safe pneumatic systems worldwide. Contact SHPI — The Tubing & Hose Expert.

Every year on the fourth Thursday of November, ovens across North America are filled with golden roasted turkeys — a symbol of gratitude and family. But behind every Thanksgiving dinner is another kind of production — a line powered by air, automation, and precision, making sure each turkey gets from farm to table safely and efficiently. The U.S. is one of the world's top turkey producers, processing more than 200 million birds a year. Inside these modern food processing plants, every move — from cutting and sealing to labeling and weighing — depends on pneumatic systems working in sync. Cylinders, solenoid valves, and sensors handle the motion, but the lifeline that connects them all is the air tubing. These tubes carry compressed air throughout the line — keeping pressure stable, clean, and consistent. To meet food-grade automation standards, they need to handle pressure, resist moisture and oil, and withstand frequent cleaning and sanitizing cycles. Most systems use tubing in sizes like 1/4″, 5/16″, and 3/8″ (6.4–9.5 mm) with working pressures around 100–150 psi (7–10 bar).Different areas in the plant call for different materials: Room temperature areas: use PU Ether tubing, flexible and moisture-resistant. High-pressure or actuator lines: go with PA12 (nylon 12), tough enough for long, high-load operation. Cold or wash down zones: rely on LDPE (low-density polyethylene) for corrosion and moisture resistance. All of these materials are food-safe and non-toxic, with smooth inner walls that prevent buildup and make cleaning simple. Where Each Tube Works Best PU Ether Tubing — Common in packaging and labeling machines that run continuously at room temperature. Its flexibility and quick air response make it perfect for fast-moving valves and actuators. PA12 Tubing — Used in push plates, cutting modules, and sorting devices where pressure and motion are higher. It resists wear and keeps pressure stable under heavy use. LDPE Tubing — Found in CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems and refrigerated areas. It handles humidity and cleaning chemicals well, ideal for washdown or low-temp zones.        Tiny as they are, these air tubes keep the entire process running — pushing, sealing, and labeling with precision. From farm to table, SHPI brings 40+ years of experience providing PU tubing, Nylon tubing (PA tubing), and LDPE tubing trusted by food and automation industries worldwide.
