BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Palm Escalator Cleaning Services principle concern is to effectively clean escalators in-situ without causing escalator downtime or interfering with traffic flow. Professional specialist cleaning of escalators using advanced specifically designed cleaning equipment. The use of knowledgeable, conscientious and thoroughly trained operators.

PRESENT CLEANING METHODS

• An effective but costly method of escalator cleaning involves dismantling the escalator, removing the steps from site in order to clean them with high pressure cleaning equipment.
• This method is expensive (approximately 5 times more costly than Palm Escalator Cleaning Service); and involves unacceptable downtime of the escalator with consequent inconvenience to the public. 
• Other methods involve machines that use nylon or course grit brushes.
• Aside from the damage caused to soft aluminium, anodised or painted steps, there is little control over the amount of water seeping into the escalator.
•  As a result dirty solution may drip down contaminating the front of the riser, internal mechanisms and electrical circuitry.
• These machines clean the top of the step only and not the riser.
• Other machines rely on dry-brushing the steps with a vacuum system to remove the dirt from the step.
• The defect in this system is that the dirt is sticky and difficult to remove by only brushing and vacuuming.
•  Bristles become clogged with dirt, recycling the dirt back onto the steps.
• In addition, the bristles are either of steel or of a hard grit nylon material which causes scouring and damage to the aluminium, anodised or painted surface.
• In both cases the escalator is left to cycle, meaning trapped stones and other foreign debris are not removed during the cleaning process.
•  This causes damage to the escalator combs.
• Resulting cleans obtained by these machines can be very poor.  

 THE SOLUTION

• Palm Escalator Cleaning Service is a specialist escalator step and riser cleaning company which was recently founded.
• Palm Escalator Cleaning Service utilises top of the range equipment together with specialised chemicals and conscientious trained operators to clean the steps and risers on escalators up to a re-furbished appearance.
• The system is used by specialist contract cleaning companies world-wide and  endorsed by leading escalator manufacturers Otis, Thyssen, Schindler and others.(Germany)
• We provide a superior service through the introduction of a unique, purpose designed automatic escalator scrubber drier.
• The machine has been manufactured specifically for thorough  deep cleaning of escalator steps and risers.
•  The machine cleans by doing what no other machine can do. It is positioned onto the stationary escalator.
• Sprays a measured, minimal amount of chemical solution onto the step and riser  which is then agitated onto the surfaces by brushes too soft to cause any damage to either the aluminium or anodised or painted surfaces.
•  The chemical has been specifically formulated for use on all types of escalators.
• Dirt is removed by chemical action combined with gentle and effective friction.
• The brushes serve to transport the dirt onto a collecting tray from where it is removed by vacuum to a holding tank.
• The escalator surface is left clean and dry with no risk of contamination to lubricating oils in escalator drums or damage to electrical circuits.
•  During the cleaning process the operator removes all embedded foreign matter to ensure no damage occurs to  escalator combs.
•  An important aspect of this cleaning process is that all sand, dirt and spillage which would normally have combined with oil and grease to form a grinding paste in the escalator mechanism, is completely removed.
