KONE ECO3000® E3C
KONE ECO3000 E3C is ideal for leisure and education environments from cinemas to colleges.
Intelligent microprocessor permanently monitors speed and direction of escalator providing constant monitoring service of equipment status
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 escalator workload, this increases equipment lifetime and can reduce energy consumption by up to 30% .
· Stand-by operation reduces the escalator 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 escalators are made from 90% recyclable materials.
· The possibility for a lubrication-free step chain means no oil, a cleaner escalator 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.
· Escalator 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.

Balustrade and handrail options
Balustrades can be provided in two height versions 1,000mm and 1,100mm. Tall glass balustrades can offer additional passenger safety and can be supplied with internal lighting. Customers can choose from a variety of handrail colours to compliment the building decor, optional V-type handrail cuts out slippage while being highly durable and providing a safe and comfortable ride.
Standard safety devices
All KONE escalators are compliant with EN115 construction code. Handrail inlet and comb plate impact devices are standard features of a KONE ECO3000® escalator 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 escalator will prevent passengers trapping themselves between the decreasing void of the handrail and ceiling on the up escalator. An infill panel placed between two escalators will prevent children or adults from climbing between the equipment.
