including the world’s first Machine Room-Less (MRL) installation

■ Over 250,000 MRL installations worldwide

■ Applicable from 2 to 100+ floors

Space Savings
■ In low- to mid-rise elevators, the compact EcoDisc structure eliminates

the traditional machine room

■ In high-rise systems, the EcoDisc delivers remarkable space savings

KONE Eco-efficient™ solutions

How much can you save by selecting right?
KONE elevators can reduce the total energy consumption by as much
as two-thirds or even more. For example, a KONE EcoSpace elevator,
with the KONE EcoDisc hoisting machine, uses up to 70% less energy
compared to a hydraulic elevator and up to 50% less than a 2-speed 1
traction. With additional energy-saving features, this energy
consumption can be reduced still further.

1 A green hoisting system

The KONE EcoDisc hoisting machine made DC gearless and
inefficient geared hoisting machines obsolete. The KONE EcoDisc
permanent-magnet synchronous machine, together with a vector-
controlled drive system and regenerative options, provide the highest
total efficiency and minimize both mechanical and electrical losses.
2
2 Regenerative drive
When the car is going down with a heavy load, it contains potential
energy. The regenerative drive recovers this energy. It can save up to
25% of the energy consumed by a typical 14-person KONE 3
EcoSystem MR elevator.

3 Put to sleep when not in use

In today’s elevators, lights, signalization and ventilation can consume
a considerable amount of electricity even when the elevator is not
moving. KONE energy-efficient options supervise elevator usage and
set the devices to sleep mode during inactive periods to minimize 4
total energy consumption.

4 Eco-efficient car lighting

To save energy used for car lighting, halogen lights have been
replaced by LED spot lights. LED lights consume 80% less electricity
than halogen lights and last up to 10 times longer.

features
Possibility to accommodate reduced headroom height and pit depth. The KONE EcoDisc
machine is so compact there is no need for a machine room above, as it fits right into
the hoistway.
2 Energy-efficient
The revolutionary gearless KONE EcoDisc machine has only one moving part and is three
times more efficient than a hydraulic-powered unit using 70% less energy – with the
