Two Moving Carpets installed in parallel and covered by a Duplex Evolus gallery guarantee only short queuing times for the users even at the busiest times.
Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe (USA): The installation of the first dual Person Conveyor Belt in North America means that from now on the crowds in the beginner terrain at Mt. Rose can be handled with ease. The Moving Carpet, which is 288 meters long in total, is driven by a 22 KW motor each and can thus transport more than 3,500 people per hour. The 750 mm belt width and Duplex Evolus gallery provide additional user comfort. Outside operating hours, electric roll-up doors protect the entry and exit areas from wind and weather.
In order to withstand extreme wind speeds of up to 160 km/h, the two conveyor belts were installed on massive concrete girders and the Duplex gallery was fixed in the foundations with additional epoxy anchors. The two parallel conveyor belts can be flexibly controlled independently of each other. When there is little activity during the week, one belt runs and on weekends or when there is a lot of traffic, the second Moving Carpet is switched on. This not only prevents queues, but also makes users happy because they can stand next to each other and talk.
La galerie Duplex elle-même a été installée en trois jours, en deux équipes de travail à chaque fois, et le résultat est impressionnant. Les côtés protégés par des vitres en polycarbonate offrent une vue imprenable sur le paysage et, en combinaison avec les panneaux latéraux en bois, ils s'intègrent parfaitement à l'environnement. L'ensemble de l'installation répond à toutes les normes de sécurité requises, comme par exemple quatre sorties de secours tous les 30 mètres, et a été approuvée par les autorités selon la norme américaine ANSI B77.1.
