AVCO's own catalog is a pressure/temperature/fire-safety-focused industrial line with no named food-contact certification on the 1100 Series — position it for utility, CIP, or byproduct duty in a food processing plant rather than direct product-contact service unless the specific configuration is confirmed with the vendor.
Every claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Confirm current specifications with the manufacturer before final specification.
