About Compact Umsebenzi Oyinhloko: Umhlanzi Womoya

Compact ngumhlanzi womoya oklanyelwe izindawo zangaphakathi ezincane. Le nsimbi ihambisa umoya ohlanzekile ngezinga elingamamitha akhiubhu angama-200 ngehora ngangaphakathi kwevolumu encane, ngakho lo mhlanzi ufanele izindawo zokuhlala ezinganwe. Umgudu womoya omusha uhlanganisa izisekelo zesihlungi, izingxenye eziningi zangaphandle nomgudu ube yizingxenye eziyodwa, kushiye izingxenye eziyinhloko ezinhlanu kuphela.
