22 kW Screw Air Compressor for Orapa, Botswana

The strongest 22 kW proposal for Orapa is one that explains the full operating cost, service plan and installation scope—not only the compressor specification.

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

Page-specific application brief

How this size can be used in Orapa

For the type of diamond mining and mining support work associated with this Orapa page, the design emphasis is dust control, filtration access, rugged installation and service readiness. Those items have a direct effect on reliability and operating cost. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Orapa.

One realistic design case for this page is a central air point serving maintenance workshops, pneumatic controls, cleaning and plant-support duties across more than one work area. 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.

Configuration priorities for the Orapa air system

01 · Demand

Map the working air profile

For diamond mining in Orapa, 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 the 22 kW Orapa proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.

03 · Control

Choose fixed-speed or VSD from data

Where mining support 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 final 22 kW proposal for Orapa will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.

Local operating profile

Design priorities for Orapa

Within the Orapa 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. On the Orapa project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.

Five questions for the Orapa quotation

  1. What is the minimum pressure required at the furthest point of use?
  2. How many hours per shift will the compressor run, and how many shifts are worked?
  3. Is the demand steady, cyclical or strongly variable during the day?
  4. What air quality is required after the dryer and filters?
  5. Is there an existing receiver, dryer or ring main that will remain in service?

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 Orapa. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. In the Orapa 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. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Orapa.

Growth and uptime package

Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future mining support demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. Before order placement, this point is reviewed for the specific 22 kW installation in Orapa.

Other compressor sizes for Orapa

Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. For the 22 kW Orapa proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.
