Energy Saving Lifts

Our lifts are ENERGY SAVERS 

How much can you save?   

Hosting elevators can reduce the total energy consumption of the elevator by as much as 66.6% or even more. For example, our new gearless lifts use about 7000 kWh of electricity a year – about half as much as a DC gearless elevator and one-third as much as a geared (Traction AC) elevator. With additional energy-saving features, this energy consumption can be reduced still further.  

In this Graph below we show the savings over a year:

Our green hoisting system 

The new VVVF hoisting machines made DC gearless and energy-hungry AC 1 & 2  speed geared machines obsolete. Our permanent magnet machine, together with a VVVF controlled drive system and regenerative options, provides the highest total efficiency and minimizes both mechanical and electrical losses.

Regenerative drive 

When the car is going down with a heavy load, it contains potential energy. The regenerative drive recovers this energy. It can save up to 25% of the energy consumed by a typical 13 person elevator.

Efficient car lighting 

To save energy used for car lighting halogen lights have been replaced by LED spot lights and energy saving lamps. LED lights consume 80-85% less electricity than halogen lights and last up to 10 times longer. Modern fluorescent light technology is also used in all our elevators.

When not in use the lift sleeps  

In todays elevators, lights, signalization and ventilation can consume a considerable amount of electricity even when the elevator is not moving. Our energy-efficient options supervise elevator usage and set the devices to sleep mode during inactive periods to minimize total energy consumption.

In conclusion

The energy needed for lighting and hoisting can be reduced by using LED lights and regenerative drive options. The potential savings can amount to 600-1500 kWh using LED lights and standby operation.
