an investment in the future of your building

three levels of modernization

KONE ReFine™ is a modular modernization solution that enables you to replace individual components and systems.

KONE RePower™ is a comprehensive modernization package designed to be easy to order and install. the basic package includes the hoisting, controller, electrification, car, car door, and signalization.

KONE RePlace™ kone replace™ is an easy solution to renew your elevator and have the latest elevator technology in your existing shaft.

KONE RePower is available in two versions: RePower R-Series, designed for residential buildings, and RePower C-series, for office buildings, hotels and other commercial premises.

an elevator, like any machine, eventually reaches the end of its lifecycle.

even with regular maintenance, after decades of constant operation - starting more than 100,000 times a year and travelling thousands of kilometers - it may need to be replaced or fully modernized.

Why modernize?kone modernization solutions keep your elevators running safely, reliably and energy-efficiently for the lifetime of your building. for passengers, kone modernization solutions provide increased safety, accessibility and comfort, and improve the aesthetic appeal of the elevator or escalator. for building managers, they mean minimum disruption and maximum availability of the equipment. and for owners, they mean improved energy efficiency, which reduces operating costs, as well as predictable elevator lifecycle management and budgeting.

Modernize once and for allin the long run, it makes sense to modernize your elevator once, and do a thorough job. that way you minimize disruption while getting an installation that will run reliably for decades.

kone repower™ is a modernization package designed to be easy to order and quick to install. the basic package includes the hoisting, controller, electrification, car, car door, and signalization. this allows you to have the latest technology inside the shaft while keeping the existing shaft and landing doors, minimizing disturbance to residents and the building.

More energy efficientelevators can account for 2-10% of a building’s energy consumption. With kone repower modernization energy-efficiency can be improved in several ways. for example, the kone powerdisc™ hoisting machine reduces energy consumption by as much as 50%. led lights can reduce electricity consumption by 80% compared with halogen lights. savings are also achieved with standby operation, switching off lights, ventilation and signalization when the elevator is not in use.

saving energy

More reliablekone repower™ uses award-winning kone monospace technology, which has proven its reliability in more than 200,000 installations. the hoisting machinery is built for a typical lifetime of 25 years.

Saferkone repower includes a complete new electrification system, which ensures reliable operation, a smooth ride and accurate floor leveling. doors in the elevator car also improve safety. slim kone doors enclose the car without taking up space in the cabin. kone repower complies with en81-80 safety codes.

Comfort and conveniencethe low noise level makes kone repower ideal for use in residential buildings. for an elevator group, enhanced group control maximizes the traffic handling capacity.

Enhanced aestheticsthe kone repower package comes with a choice of car interiors and signalization in the car and landings to match the architecture of the building. You can also mix and match the components - the possibilities are almost limitless. kone elevator car design is the winner of the prestigious good design and red dot awards.

A 2-speed AC geared elevator* installed in the 1980s consumed 5200 kWh/year. Modernizing it using the KONE PowerDisc with the GMX1 machine reduced electricity consumption to 2100 kWh/year. With the KONE regenerative solution, this was reduced still further, to 1850 kWh a year.
