BORAL Escalators efficiently move large numbers of people with minimum waiting time. However, they operate constantly regardless of the number of passengers they carry. Therefore, even a small decrease in energy consumption produces substantial savings. BORAL has made a number of improvements to the drive mechanism in its easy-to-maintain top machine room, which has been proven superior over many years of experience. An approximate 25% reduction in energy consumption has been achieved by enhancing drive transmission efficiency and reducing friction.
