For a mining operation in Kathu, a 22 kW screw compressor is best treated as a complete air-system decision rather than a stand-alone machine purchase.
Typical planning role: a continuous line with multiple pneumatic consumers.
The useful local question is not whether a compressor can be delivered to Kathu; it is whether the package is arranged for the site’s mining workload, maintenance access and expected production hours. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 22 kW Kathu package from a generic equipment-only quote.
One realistic design case for this page is a sishen mine department with several users cycling through the shift. The 22 kW unit supplies about 3.6 m³/min at a typical 7 bar reference point, but the decision must be checked at the site’s actual pressure and simultaneous demand.
For mining in Kathu, list the equipment behind maintenance workshops, pneumatic controls, cleaning and plant-support duties and separate steady consumers from short peaks. This determines whether 22 kW is a base-load match or only one part of the final system.
The package should address dust control, filtration access, rugged installation and service readiness. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive mining application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. For the Kathu application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
Where sishen mine demand changes through the shift, VSD may reduce unloaded operation. Where demand is stable, fixed-speed can remain the better-value option. The choice should follow a demand profile, not a general rule. The 22 kW design for Kathu is checked against this requirement before compressor, receiver and dryer selections are finalised.
For the 22 kW installation in Kathu, the next step is to turn that context into measurable flow, pressure and air-quality criteria.
For this 22 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the mining process instead of treating them as optional extras. For the Kathu application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
| Sector | Likely compressed-air uses | Specification priority |
|---|---|---|
| Mining | maintenance workshops, pneumatic controls, cleaning and plant-support duties | dust control, filtration access, rugged installation and service readiness |
| Sishen Mine | pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support | measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability |
| Mining | maintenance workshops, pneumatic controls, cleaning and plant-support duties | dust control, filtration access, rugged installation and service readiness |
Supply the compressor for connection to a suitable existing receiver, dryer and distribution system in Kathu. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Kathu.
Combine the 22 kW machine with a reviewed 1 000 L receiver range, refrigeration dryer, pre-filter, coalescing filter and automatic drains for the mining duty. For Kathu, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future sishen mine demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. For Kathu, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. The 22 kW design for Kathu is checked against this requirement before compressor, receiver and dryer selections are finalised.
Yes. We can quote the equipment, delivery and agreed commissioning scope for Kathu, with ongoing access to service parts, oils, filters and separator elements. Cross-border projects are quoted with the required logistics and documentation clearly defined. The final 22 kW proposal for Kathu will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
List every air user that can run together, its required pressure and the operating hours. The 22 kW model is rated at about 3.6 m³/min at a typical 7 bar point, but the final choice must allow for pressure, leakage, dryer loss and sensible growth margin for the mining duty. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 22 kW Kathu package from a generic equipment-only quote.
Fixed-speed can suit a stable base load. VSD is normally considered when the mining demand changes materially through the shift. A simple air-demand profile is the best way to compare energy use rather than choosing VSD automatically. This forms part of the technical review for the 22 kW Kathu quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.
1 000 L is a practical starting range, but the receiver must be checked against demand peaks, control method and available space. Short events linked to maintenance workshops, pneumatic controls, cleaning and plant-support duties may justify more storage instead of oversizing the compressor. On the Kathu project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.
For equipment in Kathu, first determine whether the need is routine maintenance, diagnosis, repair or overhaul. For a 22 kW unit, operating trends and critical-spares planning become increasingly important.
Oil, filters, separator, drive, cooling, drains and controls are scoped from the exact machine.
Alarms, pressure, temperature, current and behaviour help separate component, demand, ventilation and pipework faults in Kathu.
Planned visits, reporting, open actions and critical-spares planning can be aligned to the mining duty.
Air treatment, drains, storage, leaks and point-of-use pressure can be included where they affect the problem.
Yes. Send the model, serial, hours, service history and exact Kathu site details so travel, parts and shutdown needs can be quoted.
Send the alarm, operating symptom, available pressure and temperature, nameplate and controller photos, site contact, access details and production impact in Kathu.
Coverage note: service availability, travel and response are confirmed for the exact site. This page describes coverage and does not represent a separate staffed branch in Kathu.
Send the air users, pressure, hours, electrical supply, existing equipment and delivery position. We will respond with a defined compressor, receiver, dryer, filtration and installation scope. On the Kathu project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.
