Choosing the best energy efficiency solution for escalator motors?

Why is changing escalator speed not the right solution…

Using sensors to switch escalators into “intermittent” or “sleep” modes in order to reduce energy consumption is not a relevant solution for rretail and busy transportation sites. For example, in shopping malls, department stores, subways and train stations, where escalators are in constant use, savings cannot be generated by simply changing the motor speed. Not only is the solution not efficient it also causes a negative customer experience and generates a poor perception of business’ operation. … click here to read more.

How SinuMEC provides the ideal solution…


SinuMEC is a Sinusoidal Motor Efficiency Controller, it is a multifunctional controller for constant speed, variable load AC motors. It dynamically controls the voltage level and power consumption according to the escalator motor load conditions, and as a result it reduces losses, saves energy and extends the equipment lifetime.
 
In a typical escalator application, SinuMEC provides between 10-25% energy savings, an ROI of around two years and overall reduction of 50% on motor Life Cycle Cost (LCC)… Read more about the SinuMEC solution, its advantages and savings
