Escalator & Travelator 350 Cleaning Machine Duplex

How does the Escalator Base 350 Work?

The Base 350 Escalator Cleaner cleans escalators and travelators in a twin step process. The machine uses twin brushes that counter rotate to pick up dirt, debris and grit from the machine treads as well as washing.

Stage one of the cleaning process is running the machine dry, this step picks up dust, hairs, grit and other debris that collect within the grooves of the escalator treads.

Stage two is a damp clean where fine spray of water is applied to the treads washing the groves out and removing any stubborn marks from the tread groves and ridges.

Do I have to stop start the escalator that is being cleaned?

The escalator base 350 cleaner is designed to be run on a running escalator, this means that the cleaning process is VERY fast. Every rotation of the escalator is a complete cleaning cycle, how many cycles that you choose to leave the machine running for is down to you and will be affected by how dirty the escalator is.

Does it get right into the edges?

Yes – All duplex escalator cleaning machines have an edge to edge cleaning ability ensuring that no area of the tread is missed during the cleaning process. The machine is also fitted with a patented tracking system that ensures the machine stays steady and tracks in a straight line whilst cleaning. This is essential to ensure a thorough clean; it is also a feature that is missing from many other machines on the market.

Once one side of the escalator is clean the machine is simply rotated and the opposite side of the escalator can be cleaned.

Will it damage my escalator?

No – Many escalator and travelator manufactures insist on keeping water well away from their machines, this is to prevent corrosion and any potential damage. The Base 350 uses a very small amount of water, the water that is applied is then immediately collected (along with any waste it holds) and held in the machine, ensuring no fluids get anywhere they are not intended.
