● Moving Walkways

A Moving walkway (also known as travelator and sometimes autowalk) is a moving surface that transports people
horizontally, from the beginning to the end of the walkway. They are powered by motors, typically standard
escalator-type drive systems. The steps run on tracks. Usually, there is a handrail that moves along with the moving
walkway that you may hold onto when riding the moving walkway. There is also an emergency stop button
(immediately stops the moving walkway when engaged), and a key switch (typically used for restarting the moving
walkway or reversing the direction of movement).

A moving walkway, also known as a travelator, is a moving conveyor belt system that transports people across a horizontal or inclined plane over
a distance. They are usually installed in pairs, one for each direction, and commonly 3 to 4 feet wide to accommodate either a person with
luggage, or two people standing side by side. These moving walkways are common in passageways between concourses and the terminal, and
especially long concourses.

Types of moving walkways

Belt type moving walkway

The belt type moving walkway consists of a rubber belt, essentially a conveyor belt. Belt type moving walkways can

also be inclined, and even be flat, then inclined. In some cases, these moving walkways could be used with shopping

carts, where the wheels get locked to the moving walkway.

Pallet type moving walkway

The pallet type moving walkway is the common type of moving walkway today. The pallets are metal, and are on a

track. Pallet type moving walkways can also be inclined, and even be flat, then inclined.

Glidepath Glidewalk moving walkway

This type of moving walkway is a cyclic moving walkway (as in, it goes in a circle), that can curve many times. This

moving walkway consist of segments, with wheels to keep them in a track, that can rotate. This type of moving

walkway can only be flat, and does not have handrails. This type of moving walkway can be much wider than

common types of moving walkways.

 ● Moving Ramps
Moving ramps are designed to meet the mobility needs of high traffic
commercial buildings or high traffic infrastructures with a up to 8 m slope, in a
safe and silent way.

● Equipped with solutions that increase user safety, such as the forwad
moving of the step edges. In addition, they are designed to resist slipping
in wet conditions.
● It offers options to reduce the energy consumption of the installation:
efficient traction systems, components with optimised energy
consumption, among others.
● Its optimised dimensions make it an ideal ramp even in places with limited
space
● Dumbwaiter

it's a small lift (most often waist-height) used to bring food up to a restaurant from kitchens
below and to take dirty dishes back down from the dining room – a hidden and essential device in
almost every mansion, café and restaurant. These hard-wearing little service lifts are designed to
carry goods, not people, between floors. The term 'dumbwaiter' is because the lift was first used
in large houses with their kitchens and household staff in the basements or the servant's quarters.
From dumb (“unable to speak”) +‎waiter, originally separate words and describing the
portable table's inability to relate gossip after the meal. By the use of the term to describe
small service elevators in American homes in the 1840s, it simply meant dumb as “mechanical”,
“unable to speak at all”.

A dumbwaiter consists of a car enclosed in a shaft and suspended by ropes or chains

from a pulley or pulleys above, so that it may be raised or lowered by means of a hand
 rope. The car is counterbalanced by adjustable iron weights (similar to the sashes in a
double-hung window).

● Conveyors
A conveyor system is used in many industries as a standard piece of mechanical handling equipment

to move goods, products, raw goods, and other materials from one location to another, usually in the

same area or building. They are extremely handy for businesses that deal with heavy goods, sharp

items, raw materials, and mass-produced products.

Conveyor systems allow for quick and efficient transportation of a businesses materials and products

as well as being able to move heavy items such as cars down a production line which make them

popular in the material handling and packaging industries as well as the manufacturing industries.

Continuous conveyors
Roller, vibratory and circular conveyors are well-known examples of standard continuous conveyors. They
are usually used for piece goods or bulk goods that are transported from one or more receiving points to
one or more discharge points. Continuous conveyors run fully automatic and need not be operated by
anyone. As this system runs continuously and without interruptions, it can transport relatively large
quantities in a short time. The system is loaded and unloaded during operation. Therefore it is designed in
such a way that it is prepared to receive and deliver at any time. The conveyor belt never stops running
during the process. Thanks to its simple design and relatively low energy consumption in continuous
operation, this system is used in various areas of intralogistics and is particularly efficient in large
distribution centres. Mining, power plants and metal processing also benefit from this conveyor technology.
A continuous conveyor is intended for long-term use as it is a fixed installation that cannot be easily moved
to another position.

Furthermore, continuous conveyors are also included, for example:

● The spiral conveyor

● The fork conveyor

● The L-conveyor

● The S- or also Z-conveyor

● Pneumatic Trash System

Envac, the Swedish company that controls most of the trash-tube market, says its
infrastructure beautifies city streets, curbs carbon emissions and traffic snarls
caused by garbage trucks, and keeps the rats away. The systems can even keep
track of how much waste individual households and businesses generate,
allowing local governments to tax them accordingly.

Envac’s pneumatic trash systems are now the default infrastructure for new
developments in 44 cities, from Seoul to Doha to Barcelona. This alternative
approach to collecting waste could lead those towns to a cleaner, greener
future—but it remains to be seen whether budget constraints and logistical
headaches will keep the technology from expanding beyond the wealthy cities of
Europe and Asia.

pneumatic tube trash system. Below the streets, residential garbage is whisked
underground and out of sight from apartment buildings to a central Automated Vacuum
Assisted Compacting (AVAC) facility. Operated by the New York City Department of
Sanitation, it is only one of two such systems in the United States at this scale (the other
being at Disney World).

The visit proved timely, as New York City is just beginning to assess the impact the
pandemic has on essential workers. For nearly half a century, Roosevelt Island’s
residential trash has been handled without the need for curbside truck pickup, which in
turns limits the need for workers to be out handling the garbage. During major disruptions
in recent memory, like Hurricane Sandy and blizzards, trash collection continued
uninterrupted on Roosevelt Island even when street collection stopped in the the rest of the
city.

● Pneumatic Linen System

The main principle of the vacuum waste transfer system is that the waste or laundry collected directly or
very close from the places where it is created.
Vacuum collection with integrated chute system powered by vacuum pipelines is used for transporting
waste fast and easy in to the collection point at service area.

The system is hygienic and sealed which is minimizing the odor when compared to the traditional waste
management having large amount of open waste carriages.

BENEFITS

● Wastes are handled efficiency thereby reducing operational costs – Real saving in building
and labor costs
● Improve client or customer service and highlights good management, impression, and
reliability – Provides more time for care work
● Promotes a hygienic environment throughout the building or facility
● Reduce risks of infection and cross contamination

APPLICATIONS

HEALTHCARE

Automatic transfer systems – Hygienic solutions for waste and linen handling. A modern hospital has the
best care processes and the highest level of hygiene. As a part of the logistic streams large amount of
waste and linen (laundry) is generated in a very short periods.

Several tons of dirty linen and waste must be processed quickly out from the wards between the working
shifts. The automatic transfer methods are the most modern way to improve the hygienic and logistic
efficiency.

FOOD PROCESSING / KITCHEN

Organic waste is wet, heavy and difficult to deal with the traditional way. Due to its nature, it starts an
immediate change, such as fermentation, uncontrolled growth of bacteria and then resulting in to the bad
odors in the
