EX Series
Hitachi escalators are at work moving people
everywhere in hotels, offices, departments stores and
many other types of places. Advanced technology is used
for the sole purpose of upgrading comfort. This is combined
with a creative ability to flexibly modify products
so that they blend in with the surrounding environment.

The Design Concept of the future
Developed through many years of dedication and experience,
Hitachi escalators feature a variety of innovations including
the 8 mm side Cleat, the All-Stainless Steel Steps and the
Independent Top Drive System. Taking full advantage of these
high-tech features, Hitachi has created a new image for its
escalators, resulting in the development of the innovative
EX series. Hitachi's comprehensive command of electrical and
electronic technology has brought escalators a great deal
closer to perfection. Escalators are now slimmer, more fashionable
and more user-friendly than ever.
Stainless Steel Steps with Ideal Cleats
Hitachi is the first in the industry to introduce stainless
steel escalator steps. They are pressed from stainless steel
plates. The higher strength of stainless steel prevents the
step surface or riser from being deformed by umbrella tips
or other sharp objects. This substantially increases the life
of the steps.

Step Surface
The surfaces are notched for foothold.
Four Sides Yellow Demarcation Lines
A yellow demarcation made from synthetic
resin is provided around all four edges of the step
to clearly differentiate it from other steps. This zone
allows one-glance confirmation of where to step.

|
|
Raised Cleats on Both Sides
The edges on both sides of the step are
8 mm higher, and the upper part of edge tread is diagonally
cut.
|
|
Drive system enables not only energy saving,
but also extends life expectancy of handrails.
- Drive system does not require
tension of handrail which conventional traction drive
does.
- Drive system does not require
reverse curve which assists cracks on handrail lips.

30% Reduction in Energy Consumption
Since escalators operate continuously,
Hitachi has redesigned the drive mechanism to conserve
energy.
Escalators efficiently move large numbers
of people with a minimum of waiting. However, they operate
constantly regardless of the number of passengers they
carry. Therefore, even a small decrease in energy consumption
produces substantial savings. Hitachi has made a number
of improvements to the drive mechanism in its easy-to-maintain
overhead machine room which has been proven superior
over many years of experience. An approximate 30% reduction
in energy consumption has been achieved by enhancing
drive transmission efficiency and reducing friction.
The power efficiency of the EX series makes it especially
attractive to department stores and shopping complexes.
