Escalators and Paths

Escalator systems are a unique facility in every aspect of human transportation. Among the features of escalators, we can count the small footprint, reliability, appeal to large masses at the same time and uninterruptedly, speed, time saving and aesthetics of its external appearance. Escalator systems also need to be supported by elevator systems. The reason for this is that very old people, people with a pram or physically handicapped have difficulty in choosing a step. Although escalator systems are produced for these special cases, they are not common.

Escalator systems provide ease of use and safety for the transportation of the most people in the shortest time in open / closed public areas where human traffic is heavy. Escalator Solutions, designed in the loop logic for the purpose of using architectural structures, are designed according to functional usage conditions such as the structure, size and area selection of the architectural space.

Escalator Systems offer uninterrupted-fast-safe-saving and aesthetic solutions in public areas with high human density such as business centers, shopping malls, airports, subways, hospitals and pedestrian crossings where building traffic is high.

ESCALATOR WORKING SYSTEM

The most important feature of the escalators produced for the outdoor environment is that they are produced with high quality and durable materials against corrosion. The other difference that separates escalator systems into two different categories is the railing systems. While glass is used as the material of the railing system for escalators produced for closed areas; Escalator railing system for open areas is produced from stainless steel sheets.

Some variable parameters determine the overall dimensions of escalators. Escalator calculation is projected according to variable parameters such as climbing angle, climbing height, step width and speed. Speed and step width are directly proportional to carrying capacity.

Escalator dimensions are calculated according to the building traffic and carrying capacity by the project and R&D teams, and site-specific solutions are designed. Escalator dimensions are calculated and projected according to the climbing height, the vertical distance of the level to be connected and the climbing angle (standard 30° or 35°).

SPECIAL ESCALATOR SOLUTIONS FOR EACH PROJECT

The correct management of the building traffic and the number of people transported in architectural projects, with the knowledge and experience of the Project Management Team in different fields of expertise, turns into escalator solutions specific to each project.

Escalator Systems, which are resistant to heavy usage conditions such as train stations, airports, subways, stadiums, and pedestrian crossings, have the feature of heavy-duty stairs that work in all environments and conditions. Hand bands made of hot-dip galvanized body and steel wire against harsh weather conditions are advantageous in terms of operating costs.

Safety is provided at the highest level with the escalator safety sensor technology, which increases passenger safety and ensures the compliance of the system with safety standards, without any technical problems in areas where there is heavy human traffic.

Escalator offers high quality and reliable system products in the market with the shortest delivery period, with 90% domestic industrial production, investments to develop R&D and innovation of infrastructure.

ESCALATOR LOCATION PLANS

Escalators can be installed parallel or diagonally depending on the situation of the residential area. In both cases, the ascent and descent facilities may be side by side or separated at some distance from each other. In cases where a single escalator is not enough, a third facility can be installed in a multi-level parallel arrangement. The facilities have flexibility of use in terms of heavy traffic.

The following factors are important in positioning the escalators in the usage area:

1. a) building structure
2. b) Traffic flow direction
3. c) Traffic density
4. d) Application area (commercial sector, public transport)
5. e) Special customer requests

Considering all these factors, the arrangement of escalators planned to be installed in indoor or outdoor areas is as follows:

1- Single Unit

2- Continuous Order

3- Discrete Order

4- Parallel Discrete Layout

5- Cross/diagonal Continuous Order

SINGLE UNIT

A single unit connects two floors. It is generally used where there is one-way traffic flow. The direction of the escalator can be adjusted flexibly according to the traffic flow, for example, in a business center, it can flow upwards in the morning and downward in the evening.

Below is the drawing of single unit escalator.

CONTINUOUS SETUP/LAYOUT

This arrangement is often used to connect three or more storeys. Although it is not very suitable for the workplace as it occupies more space than the split layout, it allows the users to move more comfortably and quickly.

Continuous layout escalator drawing is below.

SEPARATE SETUP/LAYOUT

This layout causes a waste of time during the movements of the users, but it is more convenient as it takes up less space than the continuous layout.

Below is the split layout escalator drawing.

PARALLEL DISCRETE/SEPARATE LAYOUT

This arrangement is generally used in workplaces with high traffic volumes and in places where public transportation is very dense. The direction of the parallel units can be arranged in the same or opposite direction according to the traffic density.

Parallel discrete/separate layout escalator drawing is below.
