KONE's EcoSystem is a family of AC gearless elevators. The
technology saves electricity by lowering power consumption
by about 40 percent, compared to conventional AC-powered traction
elevators. The EcoDisc, a compact and lightweight permanent-magnet
motor, supplies the power. Unlike hydraulic elevators, EcoSystem
requires no hydraulic fluid, a powerful groundwater contaminate.

The KONE ECO3000 escalator, recently introduced to the North
American market, saves space, and reduces oil consumption
and energy. The escalator offers a smaller footprint, a wide
selection of finishes, and the 96 percent efficient KONE ECO3000
Drive System. A compact, chainless drive eliminates the need
required in standard escalators to lubricate the drive chain,
and the optional KONE EcoStart conserves energy by adjusting
voltage and current up to 120 times per second in response
to escalator workload.

The KONE ECOMOD Complete Escalator Modernization solution
offers a systematic way to replace working components of existing
escalators with new technology while avoiding significant
disruptions and construction costs that can be associated
with conventional escalator replacement. The system is comprised
of new modular components that fit inside the existing escalator
truss and offers lower life cycle costs, quiet operation,
and lower energy consumption.

Gen2 is the first elevator to use flat coated-steel belts
to lift the elevator car—eliminating both the need for
a separate machine room and for lubrication.
