This page focuses on the needs of a mining-linked production and maintenance environment in Maseru, with the system configured around textiles, diamond mining support and the site’s own uptime target. For Maseru, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
One realistic design case for this page is a mixed base load from textiles equipment and short peaks from maintenance workshops, pneumatic controls, cleaning and plant-support duties. 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.
What the complete compressed-air package must solve
01 · Demand
Map the working air profile
For textiles in Maseru, list the equipment behind machine actuation, cleaning, weaving support and finishing equipment 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 dry air, stable pressure and energy control across variable production. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive textiles application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. The Maseru system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 22 kW machine.
03 · Control
Choose fixed-speed or VSD from data
Where diamond 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 Maseru will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
Local operating profile
Design priorities for Maseru
The 22 kW design for Maseru uses that local operating context to set storage, filtration, ventilation and maintenance requirements.
For this 22 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the textiles process instead of treating them as optional extras.

Before we price the machine
Five questions for the Maseru quotation
What electrical supply is available at the proposed compressor position?
How will hot discharge air leave the compressor room?
Is production able to stop for planned maintenance, or is redundancy required?
What future machines or production lines are likely to be added?
How far is the compressor room from the largest air users?
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 Maseru. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. For Maseru, 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 textiles duty.
Growth and uptime package
Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future diamond mining support demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. On the Maseru project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.
Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. The Maseru system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 22 kW machine.
Questions specific to this 22 kW Maseru brief
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 machine actuation, cleaning, weaving support and finishing equipment may justify more storage instead of oversizing the compressor. The 22 kW design for Maseru is checked against this requirement before compressor, receiver and dryer selections are finalised.
Most production systems benefit from a matched refrigeration dryer and filtration. The required dew point and filter grade depend on the textiles process; sensitive instruments or product-contact risks may require a different air-quality design. On the Maseru project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.
Specify the minimum pressure required at the furthest user, then calculate losses through pipework, filters and the dryer. Raising the compressor set point to compensate for a restrictive network wastes energy, so the distribution system should be checked first. The Maseru system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 22 kW machine.
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. The 22 kW design for Maseru is checked against this requirement before compressor, receiver and dryer selections are finalised.
