    This document discusses different types of moving walkways and belt conveyors. It describes moving walkways as slow-moving conveyor mechanisms that transport people horizontally or at an incline over short to medium distances. It classifies moving walkways based on inclination angle and type of moving surface. It also discusses the applications and types of belt conveyors. Finally, it provides a brief definition of a sky lobby as an intermediate floor in tall buildings where passengers can switch between express and local elevators.

    TOPIC: MOVING WALKWAYS


    BELT CONVEYOR
    SKY LOBBY

    MOVING WALK WAYS
     A MOVING WALKWAY, ALSO KNOWN AS
    AN AUTOWALK,MOVING SIDEWALK,
    MOVING PAVEMENT, PEOPLE MOVER,
    TRAVOLATOR.

     MOVING WALKWAYS IS A SLOW


    MOVING CONVEYOR MECHANISM THAT
    TRANSPORTS PEOPLE ACROSS A
    HORIZONTAL OR INCLINED
    PLANE OVER A SHORT TO MEDIUM
    DISTANCE.

     MOVING WALKWAYS CAN BE USED BY


    STANDING OR WALKING
    ON THEM
    TYPES OF MOVING WALKWAYS

    1.ACCORDING TO
    INCLINATION ANGLE
    – Horizontal and Inclined Walkways
    a- Zero degrees inclination “Horizontal”
    Moving Walkways.
    b- Up to 15 degrees inclination “Inclined”
    Moving Walkways.
    ACCORDING TO THE FLAT MOVING SURFACE
    a- Pallet Type:
    A continuous series of flat metal plates mesh together
    to form a walkway. Most have a metal surface, though
    some models have a rubber surface for extra traction.

    b- Moving Belt:
    These are generally built with mesh metal belts or
    rubber walking surfaces over metal rollers. The walking
    surface may have a solid feel or a "bouncy" feel.

    Both types of moving walkway have a grooved surface


    to mesh with comb plates at the ends. Also, all moving
    walkways are built with moving handrails similar to
    those on escalators
    ACCORDING TO THE SPEED
    a- Slow- speed Standard type:
    The speed of these walkways is determined by the need for safety
    upon entry and exit, which generally limits it to approximately half
    normal walking speed, or 30–40m/min. The slow speed of the
    walkway causes impatience, and passengers often walk on the
    walkway itself or on the adjacent floor rather use the slower
    walkway.

    b- High-speed walkways:
    Using the high-speed walkway is like using any other moving
    walkway, except that for safety there are special procedures to
    follow when joining or leaving. On entering, there is a 10 m
    acceleration zone where the "ground" is a series of metal rollers.
    Riders stand still with both feet on these rollers and use one hand
    to hold the handrail and let it pull them so that they glide over the
    rollers. The idea is to accelerate the riders so that they will be
    traveling fast enough to step onto the moving walkway belt. Riders
    who try to walk on these rollers are at significant risk of falling over .
    APPLICATIONS OF MOVING
    WALKWAYS
     Moving walkways are commonly used in
    larger airports.
     They can also be used in museum
    exhibits.
     They are also used in zoos.
     They are used in the shopping malls,
    supermarkets.
     Moving walkways are useful for remote
    platforms in
    underground subway/metro stations.
    BELT CONVEYOR
    Belt conveyor is an endless belt operating
    between two or more pulleys with its load
    supported on idlers.

    CLASSIFICATION:

    According to design & application


    1.General purpose conveyor
    2. Special purpose conveyor

    According to profile path


    1.Horizontal type
    2. Inclined type
    PARTS OF BELT CONVEYOR:

    1. Belt
    2. Drive mechanism
    3. Pulleys
    4. Idlers
    5. Loading and discharging device
    Advantages:
    1. High load carrying capacity (up to 30000t/h)
    2. Large length of conveying path (up to 3-4 km in single conveyor)
    3. Simple design
    4. Easy maintenance
    5. High reliability for operation
    6. More flexible

    Disadvantages:
    1. Vertical transportation can not be done.
    2. A separate arrangement for material handling is required.
    3. Hot materials can not be transported .
    4. High initial cost for short distances
    SKY LOBBY
    A sky lobby is an intermediate interchange floor where
    people can change from an express elevator that stops
    only at the sky lobby to a local elevator which stops at
    every floor within a segment of the building.

    • For building > 40 levels.

    • A group lift with high speed moving lift without


    interruption from the floor to the sky lobby.

    • The elevator will move with normal velocity at the next level
