Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that it has delivered 49 elevators and 125 escalators to eight out of 16 stations, administration office, operational control center and car-parking facilities belonging to the Thai MRT 23 km Purple Line, that began operating on 6 August and connects Bangkok and suburbs in adjacent Nonthaburi Province.
The heavy-duty escalators are designed to handle heavy passenger traffic during peak hours, being equipped with an inverter which switches to low-speed stand-by to reduce power consumption when there is no traffic. The gearless traction machine of each elevator uses a compact, energy-saving permanent magnetic motor, delivering a comfortable ride by reducing vibration and noise.
The products were manufactured by Mitsubishi Elevator Asia Co., Ltd. (AMEC). Orders were placed by CKTC Joint Venture for the train stations and PAR Joint Venture for the rail yard and car-parking structures.
