The green escalator

Cleaning that doesn't harmthe environment

One of the major benefits of lubrication-free chainsis the lowering of levels of dust and dirt accumulatingon and around the chains. Historically, cleaning theseareas has called for solvents and strong detergents -not so with KONE's oil-free chains.

The lubrication-free ECO3000 drive chain removesthe need to use environmentally unfriendly solventsand strong detergents associated with earliertraditionally lubricated chains that accumulatehard-to-remove dust and dirt.

Reduce daily energy

Stand-by operation adjusts the speed based on usage,increases equipment lifetime and can reduce dailyenergy consumption by up to 30%.

KONE is renowned for producing energy efficient, environmentally friendly drives that are robust andquiet in use. Having dispensed with the need for frequent use of heavy oils and lubricants, the KONEECO3000® has become one of the most environmentally friendly escalators in the global markethelping towards improving a building’s environmental standards.

Emergency stop buttonAdditional emergency stop buttons can be situated atstrategic points of the installation, free standing/wallmounted to improve passenger safety in emergencies.

Step demarcationYellow demarcation lines help passengers to standsafely away from the edges of the step treads and areavailable as painted lines or hardwearing plastic inserts.

Step upthrust deviceThe step upthrust device detects foreign objectspreventing the steps from levelling correctly as theypass through the transition curves onto the landingareas, e.g. pushchair wheels, and stops the escalatorto prevent mechanical damage.

Handrail speed monitorThis device constantly monitors the speed of thehandrails and will stop the escalator if there is asignificant speed difference between the handrailsand the steps.

Missing step detectorTo ensure the escalator is not returned to service with anincomplete step band, a proximity sensor is availablewhich will stop the escalator if a step has been omitted.

Voice annunciationVoice annunciation reminds passengers how to safelyuse the escalator, particularly when boarding anddisembarking. Customised messages can be providedto suit specific site conditions.
