GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Basic Problem
Travelator/escalators transport a huge number of persons and things within various buildings and outside areas from one place to another.
Travelator/escalator are considerable dust collectors: crowds of people with wet, dirty, sandy and sticky
shoes stay on the travelator/escalator for a few seconds and then go on. What is left are travelator/ escalator whose grooves are littered with little stones, spilled fruit juice, pieces of broken glass, textiles and earth. Travelator/escalator become shoe cleaners.
Any kind of dirt becomes more noticeable if the surroundings are inviting and cleaned daily.
Travelator/escalator however are hardly ever cleaned – among other things because of the lack of cleaning machines. So even nowadays moving pavements are being hand-cleaned in a time and moneyconsuming way.
Our newly designed travel 600 is the answer to all these problems and returns travelator/escalators to their old brilliant form.

Constructive Features – Principle of the travel 600
The travel 600 is a newly designed cleaner which is handled and safely operated by one person.
The compact travel 600 cleans travelator/escalators quickly, thoroughly and close to the rim of travelator/ escalators in movement . The special brushes rotating in oposite directions in connection with the patented vacuming unit guarantee optimal cleaning results.
With the travel 600 travelator/escalators can be cleaned in a dry and in a wet way (by adding cleansing agents). The integrated powerfull vacuming prevents the dripping of cleansing agent into the travelator/ escalators shaft (electrical and mechanical parts) and so guarantees a safe and careful cleaning free of residues.
With the help of a brake unit the machine is fixed on the travelator/escalator by the user. The dirt loosened from the travelator/escalator is vacuumed with the help of brushes, vacuuming cylinders and a wet pick-up vacuum cleaner and then collected in the waste water tank.

Take the travel 600 on its wheels to the area to be cleaned.

Before starting to work
Before every use the relevant safety regulations have to be considered and observed.
The travelator/escalator to be cleaned has to be inspected together with its operator. If necessary the operator has to be informed about existing changes of colour, repairs, spots of varnish, (irreparable) damages etc. on the travelator/escalator .
Before the first use of the travel 600 carefully study the use of the machine. Careful reading, understanding and acting according to the instructions are important preconditions for all works with the travel 600.

Preparations/Safety measures at place of work
The date of cleaning has to be determined with the personnel in charge (commissioning, caretaker, wast water disposal, company electrician etc.) If necessary the safety officer has to be informed.
The travelator/escalator has to be switched off by an authorized person and must be secured against unauthorized switching on. Take off the key of travelator/escalator!
The entrances at the upper and lower end of the travelator/escalator as well as the working area are to be closed off extensively against unauthorized persons by using sufficient safety devices (such as red and white barriers).

Leave these barriers in place until:

  • The machine has been removed from the area of the travelator/escalator
  • The travelator/escalator and the surroundings have dried up completely.

The necessary supply lines for the machine (e.g. electricity, water) have to be shown to the user by the personnel in charge. Furthermore the user has to make sure that a person competent to operate the travelator/ escalator can be reached at any time nearby.
Find out where the EMERGENCY SWITCH-OFF for the travelator/escalator is situated.
Before cleaning check the intact profile of the travelator/escalator. If necessary remove objects from the grooves of the profile with the help of the accessories which are delivered together with the travel 600
Danger of severe injuries in wet and slippery surfaces
