Eco-Efficiency

KONE firmly believes that sustainable buildings are our future and are committed to helping customers achieve their environmental objectives by providing environmentally responsible products and services.

· The patented KONE ECO3000^® drive is chainless (even for the handrail) and utilises a 96% efficient planetary reduction gear, thereby improving operating efficiency, which in turn reduces energy consumption and environmental impact.

· ECO3000 drive conserves energy by adjusting voltage and current up to 120 times per second in response to autowalk workload, this increases equipment lifetime and can reduce energy consumption by up to 30% .

· Stand-by operation reduces the autowalk speed when no passengers are travelling, thus further reducing energy consumption and increasing equipment lifetime.

· ECO3000 drive extends oil change intervals up to 40,000 hours, twice as long as conventional drive systems.

· ECO3000 autowalks are made from 90% recyclable materials.

· The possibility for a lubrication-free pallet chain means no oil, a cleaner autowalk and environment, reduced fire hazard, simpler cleaning and easier maintenance.

· Optional LED decorative lighting systems use 90% less energy and last up to 6 times longer than fluorescent tubes.

· Autowalk packaging and timber protection is an example of our commitment to using wood taken from sustainable forests

· At the end of March 2008 90% of our production operations were certified according to ISO 14001 standard.

Safety features

Standard safety features

All KONE autowalks are compliant with EN115 construction code. Handrail inlet and comb plate impact devices are standard features of a KONE ECO3000^® autowalk detecting objects prior to them entering these areas. When triggered this device will turn off the motor and activate the brake. Pictograms are also supplied showing the position of stop buttons and other safety devices. Head guards situated above the autowalk will prevent passengers trapping themselves between the decreasing void of the handrail and ceiling on the autowalk. An infill panel placed between two autowalks will prevent children or adults from climbing between the equipment.
