Indoor Escalator

Escalators play a crucial role in attracting customers to shopping centers. OwjLift Company provides installation and maintenance services for both domestic and foreign escalators, adhering to the highest standards.

By choosing OwjLift, you can ensure safe and smooth transportation within both the interior and exterior spaces of your building.

Indoor Escalator

Many old and commercial buildings cannot accommodate elevators, relying on indoor escalators for vertical transportation. The indoor escalator is considered a suitable means of transportation within a building and offers good speed. It operates as a public transportation system, moving through a conveyor belt driven by a pair of rotating chain loops placed at an inclined angle of about 30 degrees. These chain loops are set in motion by the rotation of one or more motors.

Definition of Indoor Escalator

These escalators are commonly used in metro stations, shopping malls, commercial centers, and passenger terminals. They can even be installed and utilized in small two-story shops. Modern escalators have aluminum or steel steps moving continuously on a track system in a loop. The direction of movement (up or down) can be constant or controlled by personnel based on the time of day. Additionally, these escalators can be automatically controlled by anyone entering, both at the bottom and the top, with a programmed system ensuring the direction remains unchanged when someone is on the escalator.

Indoor Escalator Components

The main components of the interior escalator include:

• conveyor belt
• chain loops
• motor or motors

The conveyor belt runs along the length of the escalator, where individuals stand. The chain loops are connected to the belt, and as they rotate, the conveyor belt moves continuously.

Motors have the responsibility of rotating the chain loops. When the motor is activated, the chain loops start rotating, and this movement is transferred to the conveyor belt. The movement of the conveyor belt facilitates the displacement of individuals on the escalator.

As a result, the escalator, using these components, allows people to move quickly and continuously along its length through mechanized movement facilitated by the conveyor belt and chain loops.

Types of Escalators Based on Usage

1. Parallel escalators: Parallel escalators feature steps arranged side by side, aligned parallel to each other. Parallel escalators utilize more floor space compared to other visually striking models but are recognized as more efficient and, of course, more expensive.
2. Parallel Spiral Escalator: It can adopt parallel spiral or stacked arrangements based on the practical installation site. It provides users with straightforward rotation and is commonly installed in places like shopping malls, metro stations, and public buildings.
3. Multiple Parallel Escalator: These escalators move simultaneously in one direction, with one or two escalators moving in the opposite direction beside them. They must have a moving handrail to synchronize with the speed of the escalators.
4. Cross Escalator: One of the most popular types, placing the entrance and exit at the top and bottom of the escalator's opposite ends. It has lower installation costs and occupies minimal space.
5. Curved Escalator: Designed with a curved shape that can bend left or right, often used as an architectural element. It typically has a slope angle of about 30 degrees.
6. Simple Escalator: The most common type, now constructed from metal and installed on continuous circular loops. They are designed to be safer than other types and can cover up to three floors without issues.
7. Wheelchair Escalator: Designed for moving patients or individuals using wheelchairs. When a wheelchair is on the escalator, it automatically adjusts to a special mode and quickly returns to its normal state when the passenger exits. Indoor and outdoor.

Difference Between Indoor and Outdoor Escalators

Outdoor escalator systems are designed for use in open spaces. Their overall functionality is similar to regular escalators, but the equipment used in outdoor escalators is designed to resist water, moisture, dust, and dirt, featuring waterproof and dustproof capabilities or being placed in water-resistant enclosures.

To enhance visibility in darkness, these systems use illumination or yellow light strips around the escalator. Compared to indoor escalators, outdoor systems have more restrictions regarding consumables and decorations. They are typically used in locations such as pedestrian walkways, metro entrances, and uncovered areas.

In some places where the use of coverings is limited, like false ceilings, semi-outdoor systems are employed for pedestrian walkway escalators, proving highly cost-effective.

Advantages of Indoor Escalators:

Indoor escalators are commonly installed in commercial centers and tall buildings, facilitating people's transportation between different floors. They usually offer reasonable speed and consist of various components. The advantages of indoor escalators include easy access, time savings, and adjustable speed.

Price of Indoor Escalator:

The price of an indoor escalator depends on various factors, and it's not possible to determine a standard unit price. It's advisable to consult with a specialized company in the elevator and escalator industry. OwjLift, with its excellent track record in installing indoor escalators, can provide valuable guidance based on your building's needs, height, and the type of escalator.
