2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
travel 600
2.1 Basic Problem
Travelator/escalators transport a huge number of persons and things within various buildings and outside areas from one place to another.
Travelator/escalator are considerable dust collectors: crowds of people with wet, dirty, sandy and sticky shoes stay on the travelator/escalator for a few seconds and then go on. What is left are travelator/escalator whose grooves are littered with little stones, spilled fruit juice, pieces of broken glass, textiles and earth. Travelator/escalator become shoe cleaners. Any kind of dirt becomes more noticeable if the surroundings are inviting and cleaned daily. Travelator/escalator however are hardly ever cleaned among other things because of the lack of cleaning machines. So even nowadays moving pavements are being hand-cleaned in a time and moneyconsuming way. Our newly designed travel 600 is the answer to all these problems and returns travelator/escalators to their old brilliant form.
2.2 Constructive Features Principle of the travel 600
The travel 600 is a newly designed cleaner which is handled and safely operated by one person.
The compact travel 600 cleans travelator/escalators quickly, thoroughly and close to the rim of travelator/escalators in movement . The special brushes rotating in oposite directions in connection with the patented vacuming unit guarantee optimal cleaning results.
With the travel 600 travelator/escalators can be cleaned in a dry and in a wet way (by adding cleansing agents). The integrated powerfull vacuming prevents the dripping of cleansing agent into the travelator/escalators shaft (electrical and mechanical parts) and so guarantees a safe and careful cleaning free of residues.
With the help of a brake unit the machine is fixed on the travelator/escalator by the user. The dirt loosened from the travelator/escalator is vacuumed with the help of brushes, vacuuming cylinders and a wet pick-up vacuum cleaner and then collected in the waste water tank.

The dirty water tank collects the solution coming form the escalator or travelator. After pulling out the whole dirty water tank cover (incl. the swimmer) you can empty the dirty water tank. If the dirty water tank is full the swimmer closes and the underpressure sensor makes a viewable and hearable signal [piep.piep piep.piep piep.piep].The signal button blinks with the same frequency. You have to empty the tank. Than you can work on.
