Rochefort Air Base 721

Created in 1931, is a historic Air Force site. In 1980 the new buildings were inaugurated, designed by the architect Pierre André DUFETEL. The buildings are classified as historical monuments.

In 2008, Validex installed a conveying solution in the dishwashing area, comprising a polycord, a waste chute, a magnetic cutelry collector and a motorized brush for cleaning the trays.

In 2020, Validex designed an installation for the same Air Base comprising:

– A conveyor for depositing meal trays in the first mess area (military name of the restaurant/canteen),

– A vertical elevator-type conveyor transporting the trays to an overhead conveyor,

– An overhead conveyor that crosses the room over 24m,

– A vertical lowerator-type conveyor which brings the trays back to the level of the second mess area,

– A conveyor for depositing the meal trays in the first mess area, the whole being connected to the 2008 Validex installation.

We took up a technical challenge that was all the more difficult as the architectural constraints due to the classification of the building are extremely strict and require that the equipment is perfectly integrated into the frame.

Since Validex exists, the Air Force has trusted us for its locations in Salon de Provence, Dijon, Cambrai, Evreux, Villacoublay, Marignane, Creil, Saint Dizier, Orange, Luxeuil, Paris, Mont de Marsan, Cazaux, Orleans, Istres, Solenzara, Metz, Colmar, Toul, Dakar (Senegal), N’Djamena (Tchad), Gillot ( La Réunion), Djibouti, Rennes, Ambérieu, Châteaudun, Bourges, Cognac, Saintes, Taverny, Lyon Mont Verdun, Brétigny…, as did many army bases and navy bases and ships.

Example

Air base 110 Creil – France

 

The issue: An existing conveyor whose manufacturer has disappeared.  The customer must add an additional dining room, thus increasing the number of drop-offs.  Their limited budget does not allow for a total system change.

Validex’s Solution: insertion of a 3^rd descender into the system without modifying the operation and fully adapted to the existing one thanks to an air pallet switch.
