The Kwekwe specification should connect the compressor room to the production requirement. Where pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support is involved, receiver size, filtration and pressure drop deserve equal attention. The Kwekwe system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 22 kW machine.
One realistic design case for this page is a replacement project where the existing system is short of pressure during zisco peaks. 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 zisco and engineering
01 · Demand
Map the working air profile
For zisco in Kwekwe, list the equipment behind pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production 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 measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive zisco application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. For the Kwekwe application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
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. On the Kwekwe project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.

Design priorities for Kwekwe
Within the Kwekwe 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 zisco process instead of treating them as optional extras.

Before we price the machine
Five questions for the Kwekwe quotation
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?
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?
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 Kwekwe. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. For the Kwekwe application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
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 zisco duty.
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. For the Kwekwe application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. For Kwekwe, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
Questions specific to this 22 kW Kwekwe brief
List every air user that can run together, its required pressure and the operating hours. The 22 kW model is rated at about 3.6 m³/min at a typical 7 bar point, but the final choice must allow for pressure, leakage, dryer loss and sensible growth margin for the zisco duty.
Fixed-speed can suit a stable base load. VSD is normally considered when the zisco demand changes materially through the shift. A simple air-demand profile is the best way to compare energy use rather than choosing VSD automatically.
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 pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support may justify more storage instead of oversizing the compressor. The Kwekwe system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 22 kW machine.
Most production systems benefit from a matched refrigeration dryer and filtration. The required dew point and filter grade depend on the zisco process; sensitive instruments or product-contact risks may require a different air-quality design. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Kwekwe.
