A 22 kW screw compressor is commonly shortlisted when a Kimberley operation needs dependable air for maintenance workshops, pneumatic controls, cleaning and plant-support duties, but final sizing still needs a measured demand check.
Typical planning role: a continuous line with multiple pneumatic consumers.
The useful local question is not whether a compressor can be delivered to Kimberley; it is whether the package is arranged for the site’s diamond mining workload, maintenance access and expected production hours. In the Kimberley quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 22 kW system.
One realistic design case for this page is one diamond mining line plus workshop tools that operate intermittently. 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.
System logic for diamond mining and engineering
01 · Demand
Map the working air profile
For diamond mining in Kimberley, 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.
02 · Air treatment
Protect the sensitive point of use
The package should address dust control, filtration access, rugged installation and service readiness. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive diamond mining application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. For Kimberley, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
03 · Control
Choose fixed-speed or VSD from data
Where engineering 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 Kimberley is checked against this requirement before compressor, receiver and dryer selections are finalised.
Local operating profile
Design priorities for Kimberley
Within the Kimberley proposal, those conditions are reflected in the supporting equipment selected around the 22 kW compressor.
For this 22 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the diamond mining process instead of treating them as optional extras. In the Kimberley quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 22 kW system.

Before we price the machine
Five questions for the Kimberley quotation
Are there short high-flow events that should be handled by storage rather than extra motor size?
Which tools, machines or valves can operate at the same time?
What is the minimum pressure required at the furthest point of use?
How many hours per shift will the compressor run, and how many shifts are worked?
Is the demand steady, cyclical or strongly variable during the day?
Three ways to package the 22 kW compressor
Integrate into an existing air station
Supply the compressor for connection to a suitable existing receiver, dryer and distribution system in Kimberley. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. In the Kimberley quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 22 kW system.
Complete production-air package
Combine the 22 kW machine with a reviewed 1 000 L receiver range, refrigeration dryer, pre-filter, coalescing filter and automatic drains for the diamond mining duty. For the 22 kW Kimberley proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.
Growth and uptime package
Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future engineering demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. This forms part of the technical review for the 22 kW Kimberley quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.
Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. In the Kimberley quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 22 kW system.
Questions specific to this 22 kW Kimberley brief
Include known equipment additions and a measured margin, but avoid buying excessive unused capacity. A larger receiver, leak reduction and a VSD/base-load combination may handle growth more efficiently than simply moving to the next motor size. The final 22 kW proposal for Kimberley will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
Send the required pressure, list of air users, operating hours, electrical supply, existing receiver or dryer details, air-quality requirement and delivery address. Photos of the intended compressor position and current pipe connection also improve the accuracy of the proposal. For the 22 kW Kimberley proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.
Start with the most sensitive point of use, then choose dryer performance and filter grades from that requirement. The design should also provide accessible condensate drains and avoid creating unnecessary pressure drop through over-restrictive filtration. Before order placement, this point is reviewed for the specific 22 kW installation in Kimberley.
Yes. We can quote the equipment, delivery and agreed commissioning scope for Kimberley, 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 Kimberley system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 22 kW machine.
Local service planning
22 kW air compressor service and repairs for Kimberley
At a Kimberley site, reliability depends on the compressor, cooling, storage, treatment and distribution working together. For a 22 kW unit, operating trends and critical-spares planning become increasingly important.
Planned service
Maintenance prepared by model and hours
Oil, filters, separator, drive, cooling, drains and controls are scoped from the exact machine.
Breakdown support
Evidence before parts replacement
Alarms, pressure, temperature, current and behaviour help separate component, demand, ventilation and pipework faults in Kimberley.
Service contracts
Records and forward planning
Planned visits, reporting, open actions and critical-spares planning can be aligned to the diamond mining duty.
System checks
Compressor, dryer, receiver and distribution
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 Kimberley 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 Kimberley.
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 Kimberley.
Build the 22 kW quotation around your actual Kimberley site
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. For the Kimberley application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
