ESCALATORS
Escalators are utilized every day to move people up and down between floors at multi-story malls and in the lobbys of large hotels and office buildings. They’re stepped on by thousands of people every day. Imagine the contaminants, germs, and dirt that stacks up between the crevices of the stairs every single day.
Quick and Efficient
When it comes to cleaning escalators, they are used all day, so they must be cleaned during the brief period of time they are not being used.
Dry ice blasting is a quick and efficient way to clean escalators safely. Toxic chemicals, that will be in contact with shoes of adults and children alike, are not used with dry ice blasting. No residue is left behind to cause new and different issues. Biofilm can be removed and it logs lower bacteria count after cleaning.
With no masking or drying time, systems can be placed back online quickly.
Electronics, sensors, and motors are cleaned without damage.
Easy Deep Cleaning
Hard to reach corners and crevices, such as the grooves that merge and unmerge as the stairs make their turn in and out of the floors, are very difficult to clean.
Adding to that is the level of danger the escalators represent. They can not be worked on while they are moving. With dry ice blasting, escalators can be worked on from underneath safely and quickly. This reults in an improved overall clean in the environment.
With clean escalators, the systems will run more efficiently because the metal moves within each other and against each other can glide more smoothly, causing less friction and strain on the motors.
