Before pricing a 22 kW machine for Lobatse, the system should be mapped from the furthest point of use back to the compressor room to expose pressure loss and storage needs.
Typical planning role: a continuous line with multiple pneumatic consumers.
The useful local question is not whether a compressor can be delivered to Lobatse; it is whether the package is arranged for the site’s food processing workload, maintenance access and expected production hours. The final 22 kW proposal for Lobatse will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
One realistic design case for this page is a growing plant where food processing demand is steady but future beef processing equipment is planned. 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.
Build the 22 kW package around the process
01 · Demand
Map the working air profile
For food processing in Lobatse, list the equipment behind product handling, packaging, cleaning support and pneumatic automation 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 air quality, condensate management and filtration selected for the point of use. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive food processing application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Lobatse.
03 · Control
Choose fixed-speed or VSD from data
Where beef 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 forms part of the technical review for the 22 kW Lobatse quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.

Design priorities for Lobatse
For this 22 kW Lobatse brief, the same operating priorities are converted into practical equipment and installation choices.
For this 22 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the food processing process instead of treating them as optional extras. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Lobatse.

Before we price the machine
Five questions for the Lobatse quotation
Is the demand steady, cyclical or strongly variable during the day?
What air quality is required after the dryer and filters?
Is there an existing receiver, dryer or ring main that will remain in service?
What electrical supply is available at the proposed compressor position?
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 Lobatse. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. For Lobatse, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
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 food processing duty. In the Lobatse quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 22 kW system.
Growth and uptime package
Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future beef processing demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. For Lobatse, 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. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Lobatse.
Questions specific to this 22 kW Lobatse brief
The scope can include delivery, off-loading, positioning, receiver and dryer connections, airline tie-in, electrical coordination, commissioning and operator handover. The final quotation separates included work from any site preparation required before arrival. On the Lobatse project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.
Base the service plan on operating hours, environment and manufacturer intervals. For an agro-processing and mixed-industrial environment, intake filters, cooler cleanliness, drains and ventilation deserve routine inspection in addition to oil, separator and filter changes. In the Lobatse quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 22 kW system.
If loss of air stops the food processing process, compare the cost of downtime with a duty/standby arrangement or an emergency connection point. Redundancy can sometimes be phased in, but the pipework and controls should allow for it from the start. For Lobatse, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
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 Lobatse system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 22 kW machine.
