Fewer elevator trips and optimized traffic flow can contribute to equipment energy savings. That's where destination dispatch technology comes in.
Schindler PORT manages the elevator dispatch traffic in a building and transports passengers in the most efficient manner possible. Its ECO (Energy Control Option) mode dynamically monitors the traffic and allows for intelligent reduction of energy consumption without reducing service.
Utilizing AC and PM gearless motor technology, the efficiency of the elevator hoisting machine is increased, allowing for reduced energy consumption.
The Power Factor 1 (PF1) drive reduces energy consumption considerably in comparison to conventional applications and regenerates energy back into a building’s electric system.
Schindler's exclusive suspension traction media (STM) are more flexible than traditional cables. With a smaller bend radius, they can fit on a smaller sheave, requiring less space.
This space-saving design results in a smaller machine in your hoistway or machine room. STM can also offer a smoother, more reliable ride—and a major upgrade from conventional cables.
State-of-the-art, solid state line starters (soft start) come standard with all new Schindler hydraulic elevators. Additionally, Schindler is able to upgrade older hydraulic elevator systems with soft start technology.
Soft starts provide environmental and safety benefits, such as motor overload protection, reduced energy consumption, increased elevator reliability, and the elimination of audible noise pollution.
High-efficiency motors and drives
High-efficiency motors and variable frequency drives come standard. Schindler escalators also have the option to be installed with energy regenerative drives.
ECO energy-saving package option
Where permissible by code, the Schindler 9300AE escalator features ECO (Energy Control Option) energy-saving packages that may generate energy savings of up to 20 percent by providing soft start/stop functionality and peak current reduction.
Responsibility is in the details
Our escalator packaging is recyclable, and low-mercury/high-efficiency compact fluorescent lighting is used. Water-based paints and powder coating are also used to limit the emission of volatile organics into the environment.
Schindler's modular machines simplify the installation process. They can be disassembled on-site, then reassembled in the machine room. This makes the installation much simpler and more convenient for existing machine rooms.
