Restrained and inviting.

Conspicuously discreet: The Velino Commericial Duty escalator features a design oriented,slim line ballustrade. The remarkable lightness of the Velino is due to its 40-inch highbalustrade and innovative, almost invisible, handrail guide which leaves the impressionthat the handrail rides directlyon the glass.

The Velino escalator's culturedreserve and clean lines neverplace it in competition with thesurrounding architecture.Rather, it leaves the architectwith the opportunity to establishcarefully placed accents in bothnew and existing environments.

Remarkable. Dependable. That is what you get from theThyssenKrupp Elevator label.

Enduring and elegant.

A machine that moves thousands of people every day must be properly equipped to do so.The Velino Commercial Duty escalator is a workhorse, available with a reinforced aluminumunder-handrail profile to take any passenger volume in stride.

The ThyssenKrupp Elevator’sVelino escalator proves thatstability and elegance are notmutually exclusive. Thebalustrade's 3/8" (10mm) thicktempered safety glass panelsand optional under-handraillighting provide the Velinoescalator with striking aestheticswhile it performs under the mostdemanding of conditions.

We have, however, given theVelino escalator more than justan attractive look. It is the mosttechnologically advancedescalator currently available. DualCPU controllers and optionalVVVF drive technology keep theVelino products at the front of theclass.

Convincing over short and long distances.

With its discreet 40-inch high glass balustrade, the ThyssenKrupp Elevator Tugela escalator fitsperfectly into every environment. As much as it flatters the eye of the observer, it pampers theuser with incomparable ride comfort. This escalator is typically designed for higher-riseapplications [>33'-0" (10058mm)] and locations whereheavy crush loads are the norm,such as convention centers,stadiums and airports. Increasedmotor and chain sizing, combinedwith modified handrail drive andtension carriage design, separatethe Tugela from the Velino productline.

Naturally, the reinforcedbalustrade is made of temperedsafety glass, making it resistant tobumps and knocks from bagsand cases. Moreover, a world ofcustomized options are available,including diverse glass colors andoptional under handrail lighting.

No matter what ideas you have inmind for your heavy-dutyescalator, we assure you thatthese can be realized with theTugela escalator.

Always on track for success.

ThyssenKrupp Elevator's Tugela escalator has performance and efficiency that are evidentfrom a distance. But to regard it as a pure power packet would do it an injustice: its availablestainless steel, high-deck balustrade design adorns every enclosed environment.

Constructed for demandingoperational requirements inlarge transport facilities orunderground railway stations,the Tugela escalator will handleall of your needs.

From tropical climates to themost frigid regions,ThyssenKrupp Elevator hasyou covered. Warm-weatherclimates do not affectTugela’s perfection inperformance. And for cold-temperature areas, we offeran optional integrated heatingpackage to melt ice and snowto assure passenger safety.This feature is available on allThyssenKrupp Escalatormodels.

Our escalators are madeindividually to suit the specificbuilding design parameterswherever they are to be used.

The One that sets the masses in motion.

There are moments in the life of an escalator when it would be ill advised to stop; for example,when large numbers of people are taking it by storm. Wherever such moments arise, theThyssenKrupp Elevator Victoria Transit Duty escalator is the ideal solution.

The Victoria Transit Duty escalatoris the strongest, most powerfulThyssenKrupp model. Itspurpose-developed chain withexternal 4" rollers permits risesup to 164'-0" (50 m). With itsspecially reinforced drive system,it is capable of maximumperformance at full-load capacityaround-the-clock.

Minimum failure rates, maximumsafety standards and optimumservicing simplicity allow forproblem-free operation. Nowonder the Victoria isconstantly putting in anappearance at the mostfrequented places in the world:railway stations, airports, subwaystations, and wherever else there'splenty of life—day in, day out.

Available with glass or high deckbalustrades, ThyssenKruppElevator's Victoria product isfully APTA compliant.

Reliable and resilient.

Airports increasingly play a major role in modern urban life. They are transport hubs for anendless flow of people on a round-the-clock basis. It is therefore no surprise that moving walksmade by ThyssenKrupp are frequently found in these sensitive locations.

The ThyssenKrupp ElevatorOrinoco moving walk, with itscontinuous 40-inch high 3/8-inchthick tempered safety glassbalustrade, takes knocks andbumps from suitcases, bags andluggage carts in stride.

The qualities of this moving walk,however, are not limited to itsexterior attributes. Quality atThyssenKrupp Elevator hasalways been the sum total of allfactors. Hidden away on theinside is new conveyor technologythat delivers the highly reliableesentials to meet present dayrequirements.

A workhorse like this, however,need not look like one. Therefore,a multitude of design optionsallows the moving walk toharmonize perfectly with any typeof architecture.

Travel speed f/p (m/s)

Escalators and moving walks can continuously move passengers.Consequently, their transport capacity is much greater than that ofelevators.

Travel speed of escalators is limited by code to 100 f/m (.5 m/s). Formoving walks with 0-8 degree inclination, the speed can be increased upto 180 f/m (0.9 m/s).

The chart illustrates the discrepancy between theory and practice: Thetheoretical transport capacity is useful during the selection procedure. Inpractice, only approximately 80% of this figure is achieved.

For example, passengers tend to be hesitant at higher rises and higherspeeds when stepping onto the step or pallet band. Even with larger stepor pallet widths, the possibility to pass is not always utilized. Even so,higher speeds and wider steps or pallets, ensure travel comfort and aconsiderable reduction of travel time.

2. Travel heights and inclinations.

30º

EscalatorsWith a rise of only 6'-0" (1829), an escalator can considerably improveaccess to the building for the visitor. Furthermore, ThyssenKrupp Elevatorhas designed escalators to reach a rise of 164'-0" (50 m). Code limits theinclination angle to 30° in the US and Canada.

Moving WalksInclined moving walks typically used in shopping center and retailapplications are permitted a maximum angle of 12°. For extended traveldistances, e.g. trade fairs and airports, horizontal moving walks whichenable the use of wider pallets are the most efficient option.

a

3. Step and pallet widths.

An optimum choice needs to be made here: Neither excessively wide ornarrow steps [or pallets] represent a balanced ratio between the spacerequired and the transport capacity, between travel comfort and cost.

Based on the cross-sections, you can see the required space of yourescalators and moving walks. A clearance of 1 1/4" (30mm) for installationmust be added to the dimensions on either side of the escalator or movingwalk. The standard escalator step width for the North American market is40" (1000 mm).

Examples showing arrangements.

There are various possibilities for positioning escalators in a building. Shown are several examples of the most frequently used arrangements.Depending on the requirement, you can decide whether passengers are to be conveyed quickly from floor to floor or whether they may be leadthrough promotional areas.

ThyssenKrupp escalators are designed so that they can be operated in both directions. That is why at the planning stage, you do notneed to decide the direction of travel.

18 Preparations by Others

1. Installation timing.

Whenever possible, schedule escalator delivery to take place prior tothe installation of subsequent floor slabs, ceilings, roofs and any otheroverhead impediants.

2. Access openings, transport route load capacity.

Normally, escalators / moving walks are moved in by crane through asuitable overhead opening. Another option is to bring the escalator /moving walk in through a suitable opening at the ground floor. It isimportant that the route to the assembly location within the building isfree of obstacles and level, and the ceiling can support a hoist load of8992 lb (40 KN). Otherwise, appropriate shoring must be provided.

Perfect planning also includes optimum installation planning. That iswhy on the following pages we have listed everything that needs to beplanned and carried out on site to ensure easy installation of yourescalators and moving walks.

Minimum building access opening of 11'-6" (3.5 m) x 11'-6"(3.5 m).

An escalator [e.g. with a travel height of 17'-6" (5.3m)], at an angle of30°, weighs 17,747 lb (8050 kg). The floor of the building must bearthe transport weight of your escalator. Otherwise, additional floorunder-pinning support will be required during the installation period.

4. Overhead openings.

A ThyssenKrupp representative will notify you of the location and size ofthe required ceiling/roof openings. Please ensure the required openingdimensions are made available.

5. Top and bottom supports. (Seismic zones vary)

When designing the support recesses please take into account the supportloads. They are shown on the installation drawing, i.e. at those locationswhere the supports of your escalator (or your moving walk) will be placed.The supports must be able to bear the weight of the escalator including 5 KN/m2 traffic load. When preparing the supporting structures, thedimensions and reactions indicated on our installation plans must beprecisely adhered to.

9. Electrical connection.

Our diagram shows where escalators and moving walks are connected tothe power supply. Power supply is always located at the upper well. Pleasenote that electrical cables are inserted at a distance of 1'-6" (450 mm) onthe side of the support and that the length of the cable on the inside of theescalator must be about 5'-0" (1500 mm). With complex controls, such asthose usually required for escalators and moving walks in transitinstallations, the escalator control equipment may be installed in aseparate room. The power supply cable must be installed in this separatecontrol room. In case of additional soffit lighting, a separate power supplymust be provided in time. The power connection must be provided by anauthorized electrician assigned by the owner’s representative.
