Glue, gelatin, and syrup-like food streams behave like bitumen from a valve's perspective — they solidify in a cold valve — which is why a heating jacket rather than a material change is the real answer; specifying a standard non-jacketed sleeved plug valve on these media is where they solidify and jam the valve on a cold start or shutdown.
'Food' appearing in XOMOX's own Jacketed valve media list alongside sulfur recovery units and bitumen is genuinely surprising and genuinely real — the unifying engineering reason is temperature-sensitive media that solidifies in a cold valve, which is why the right spec for a hot-food-processing valve is a jacket, not a different wetted material.
