Modernizing an escalator enhances its safety, comfort and energy-savings. It is important to plan an optimal scheme to meet each customer's demands since modernization of escalators needs to be studied for every project. For the details, Contact Us or local Mitsubishi Electric sales agent.


Drive system
Energy-saving

Using the energy-efficient technology, Mitsubishi Electric has reduced friction loss significantly in the drive system. Together with various improvements, the power consumption has been reduced by 20%(*2).

Automatic Operation <Slow Operation in Stand-by>

Escalators with automatic operation conserve energy by running slowly in Stand-by. If there are no passengers on an escalator, the escalator goes into Stand-by and runs at a reduced speed. However, when the escalator detects a passenger approaching the entrance landing, it gradually increases the speed to the rated speed.
