Customization, smart solutions dominate industry’s latest offerings.
Energy Efficiency for Escalators and Moving Walks
Schindler UK, a leading provider of lifts and escalators, recently launched a series of innovations to significantly improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of its escalator and moving-walk solutions in the U.K. and Ireland. In addition to standard improvements in these areas, a premium power package that uses advanced drives, IE3 motors and high-efficiency gearing for total drive efficiency of 85% is available. The package further reduces operating costs and carbon emissions.
A new range of intelligent power-management options has also been developed. ECOLINE options were designed to optimize efficiency without compromising passenger flows and can reduce power consumption by up to 36%. Features include stop-and-go and slow-speed operation, an “ECO” power option to stop the escalator after an adjustable time running at slow speed, and automatic motor-power adjustment that responds to passenger load.
