22 kW Screw Air Compressor for Francistown, Botswana

The starting point for specifying a 22 kW unit in Francistown is the actual air profile: which equipment runs together, at what pressure, and for how many hours per shift.

Typical planning role: a continuous line with multiple pneumatic consumers.

Page-specific application brief

Francistown application scenario

Installations in Francistown should be planned around the actual operating environment. For this mining-linked production and maintenance environment, we normally pay particular attention to fast recovery, practical pipe routing and dependable service access. For the 22 kW Francistown proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.

One realistic design case for this page is one logistics 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. For Francistown, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.

Build the 22 kW package around the process

01 · Demand

Map the working air profile

For logistics in Francistown, list the equipment behind vehicle workshops, loading equipment, maintenance bays and packaging support 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 fast recovery, practical pipe routing and dependable service access. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive logistics application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. The final 22 kW proposal for Francistown will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.

03 · Control

Choose fixed-speed or VSD from data

Where food processing 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. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Francistown.

Local operating profile

Design priorities for Francistown

Applied to the 22 kW package, those Francistown priorities translate into a defined receiver, air-treatment and control specification.

For this 22 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the logistics process instead of treating them as optional extras. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Francistown.

Five questions for the Francistown quotation

  1. Is the demand steady, cyclical or strongly variable during the day?
  2. What air quality is required after the dryer and filters?
  3. Is there an existing receiver, dryer or ring main that will remain in service?
  4. What electrical supply is available at the proposed compressor position?
  5. How will hot discharge air leave the compressor room?

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 Francistown. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. On the Francistown project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.

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 logistics duty. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Francistown.

Growth and uptime package

Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future food processing 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 Francistown quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.

Other compressor sizes for Francistown

Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Francistown.
