An escalator is installed where the flow of people is steady and heavy and nobody will wait for a lift: in shopping centres, at railway stations, in public buildings. We have installed Izamet escalators in Dolyna and Ivano-Frankivsk. The parameters on this page are taken from the certificate and the manufacturer's technical catalogue.
Certificate limits
| Parameter | IZA escalator | IZA-MW moving walk |
|---|---|---|
| Step or pallet width | up to 1000 mm | up to 1400 mm |
| Inclination angle | up to 35° | up to 12° |
| Speed | up to 0.5 m/s | up to 0.5 m/s |
| Maximum travel (rise) | 6000 mm | 8000 mm |
| Capacity | up to 9000 persons per hour | up to 9000 persons per hour |
These are the data from Module H certificate of conformity No. UA.TR.006.H.109503-25. TESKO LLC issued it on 11.03.2025 for a period until 10.03.2028 under the Technical Regulation on Machinery Safety and DSTU EN 115-1:2019. TEMAZI Ltd is recorded as the manufacturer, with production in Dupnitsa, Bulgaria.
Dimensions from the technical catalogue
Escalators are produced with an inclination of 30° and 35° and a step width of 600, 800 or 1000 mm. For 30° the plan length is L = H × 1.732 + 4800 mm. The lower end needs a pit 1100 mm deep, and the upper end rests on the floor slab.
| Step width, mm | Escalator width, mm | Opening width, mm | Persons per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| 600 | 1200 | 1250 | 3600 |
| 800 | 1400 | 1450 | 6750 |
| 1000 | 1600 | 1650 | 9000 |
Weight and support loads depend on the rise. The rows below are for the IZA 30 with a 1000 mm step; for narrower steps the weight is 300-500 kg less.
| Rise, mm | Transport length, mm | Weight, kg | Support loads R1 / R2, kN | Power, kW |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3000 | 10800 | 6200 | 63 / 56 | 5,5 |
| 4000 | 12800 | 6800 | 71 / 64 | 8 |
| 5000 | 14800 | 7400 | 79 / 72 | 8 |
| 6000 | 16800 | 8000 | 87 / 80 | 11 |
A 35° inclination shortens the escalator: for a rise of 3000 mm the transport length is 10180 mm instead of 10800, and the weight with a 1000 mm step is 5900 kg. The catalogue gives moving walks as horizontal and with an inclination of 10° and 12°; the certificate covers a pallet width of up to 1400 mm and a rise of up to 8 m.
An escalator rests on two supports. For a 1000 mm step the upper support transfers from 63 to 87 kN to the floor slab and the lower one from 56 to 80 kN; the structural designer uses these figures in the structural calculation. The catalogue drawing shows holes 100 mm in diameter in the slab above the escalator for 80 kN installation hooks, which are used to bring the machine into position.
Four operating modes
The standard specification has variable frequency control with four modes. In the first, the escalator stands still until a photocell detects a person, and then starts in the direction set by the side the person approached from; machines in quiet locations are set up this way. In the second, after a set pause, for example 120 seconds, the speed drops, and when a passenger appears it returns to operating speed. The third differs in that after the pause the escalator stops completely. The fourth mode is continuous running at rated speed.
Equipment and finishes
The basic specification includes direction arrows, lighting of the gaps between steps and three horizontal steps at the entrance and exit. The automatic controls monitor the load, step sag, the step chain, and the speed of the step band and the handrail.
The steps are aluminium or stainless steel, the balustrade is glass or steel, and the handrail colour can be chosen. The outer cladding is matched to the interior: at Mens it is satin stainless steel.
Our projects
We installed six escalators between the retail levels of the Mens shopping centre on Halytska St. in Ivano-Frankivsk in 2021; a panoramic lift of the same brand operates alongside. The escalator in Dolyna has been in place since 2013, and its photos are collected below.
For a calculation we need the height between levels, the preferred step width and a plan of the location. Escalator request.
