Knife Gate Valve for Food & Beverage
What LibertyCES's vendor documentation shows
Food & beverage is the first-listed industry on AVCO's 6100 page. 316SS with EPDM is the food-contact-plausible configuration, but AVCO publishes no 3-A or FDA certification for this valve — position it for utility/byproduct/solids-handling duty rather than product-contact service unless the customer confirms otherwise.
