First, a little discussion about ships. Namely, why does a ship, especially a combat one, evoke so many emotions in a normal person? Probably because humanity began to swim long before the wheel was invented and began to ride. I generally keep quiet about flights. It has already been genetically fixed in the consciousness that a ship is wonderful. Especially beautiful ship.
In general, any ship is the quintessence of the capabilities of humanity. On the technical side, of course. And with regard to the labor invested. It is difficult to say how many tanks and aircraft can be produced instead of one frigate, if you count the tons of metal and man-hours of labor, but I think that a lot.
A ship is made up of many components. There is no point in listing, it is clear to anyone. Our today's story is about those who create just one of the components of the ship. Since the ships simply do not have unimportant components, let's call it one of the pleasant ones. For those who go to sea on this ship.
The St. Petersburg firm "Proektintertekhnika" creates galleys. For any ships and vessels. We are especially proud of the work on equipping the patrol ship "Admiral Grigorovich" with everything necessary. Actually, that's why the photo of the ship is present at the beginning of the article.
So, what is needed in order to provide sailors with everything they need, from borscht to compote?
Depending on the size of the ship. With small vessels, according to the stories of the representatives of "PIT", it is more difficult to work with. Less space - more effort to cram everything you need into a given volume.
But it all starts with a carriage (or even more than one) of stainless steel.
It is clear that the sea is an aggressive environment. Salt water, salt-laden humid air. Because - stainless steel is our everything. It is simply unrealistic to alter something from everyday equipment for the needs of the fleet. It's easier to design and build from scratch than to replace anything that can rust. Therefore, everything is made of stainless steel. From the bodies to the last washer. With all the ensuing consequences, because stainless steel is not the best material to work with.
Even the meat grinder is all made of stainless steel. Not a tribute to fashion, but a real necessity.
Marine food boiler MPK. The heart of every galley.
This is the smallest of the boiler family. 60 liters. In the MPK line, there are also boilers for any size: for 100, 200 and 300 liters.
Anti-storm clamps. You can cook with any pitching, nothing will spill.
Marine electric cooker with oven.
Like an ordinary stove, it is capable of boiling, frying, stewing, baking. There are 4 or 6 burners. It differs from an ordinary stove only in the sides, the task of which is to keep the pan or pan on the stove when the sea is restless.
Convection oven.
A hybrid of an oven and a double boiler. Able to boil, fry, stew, bake, boil. But unlike pots and pans, it saves water and fats. And time, because it is able to spend half the time on cooking than the stove needs. And it takes up less space.
Marine food distribution line.
A constructor that can be formed as you like, depending on the room. The purpose is clear, to provide the sufferers with lunch. High quality. Accordingly, what should not cool down will be heated, and what should wait for its turn in a chilled state will not be allowed to heat up.
Refrigerated sea table.
For immediate storage, not deep-frozen. from -2 to +8 Celsius. Got it - and immediately to work.
Naturally, in the arsenal of St. Petersburg manufacturers and other equipment. Frying ovens, refrigerators, sinks, dryers.
We very diligently studied everything brought to the exhibition. Made by hand and conscientiously. Although what is there to advertise, the Russian Navy made their choice when equipping a new corvette.
We devote a lot of time to stories about new weapons systems in our army, about new technology. But the galley on the ship and the kitchen in the field are just as important to success as the technology. For with trembling hands you cannot gain much. This means that the galley and kitchen must run like clockwork. Yes, overcoming all the hardships and hardships of military service is spelled out in the Charter. But it's good when war is war, and lunch is on schedule. For a hungry soldier and sailor is not a guarantee of success.
Moreover, we are planning to visit the Proektintertekhnika plant. Yes, this is a whole plant. And then the story will be both more detailed and more colorful, fortunately, there will be more space.
