What LibertyCES's vendor documentation shows

Genuinely surprising and genuinely real: 'Food' appears in XOMOX's own Jacketed valve media list alongside sulfur recovery units and bitumen, and 'Coffee' appears in the L-TORQ chemistry list. The unifying reason is temperature-sensitive media that solidifies in a cold valve — glue, gelatin, chocolate-like and syrup-like food streams behave like bitumen from a valve's perspective, which is why a heating jacket rather than a material change is the answer. Pair with the Special Purpose butterfly's Steam Peelers and Hot Vegetable applications and Type 800's Corn processing branch for a complete hot-food-processing valve story.
