Powerful universal machine to turn items into fluids. Comes with versatile catalytic components, heating elements and a built-in hydrator for petrochemical liquefaction.

The industrial liquefaction machine (sometimes liquefication machine or simply the liquefactor) is a simple, general use machine for the liquefaction of various solids through varying means, such as melting or hydrating, as the tooltip advertises. It is the opposite of the industrial solidification machine.

Crafting

The liquefactor can be made in the assembly machine:

Usage

The liquefactor takes an item input and processes it into a fluid.

It is functionally the exact opposite of an industrial solidifier.

Its most important use is in producing potent coolants like liquid lead, liquid sodium and mug root beer that can be used in high power reactors including the PWR and even the ICF:

The liquefaction machine can also melt various stones into lava which can be used with a chemical plant to generate cobblestone, thus eliminating the requirement of an external mod to automate cobblestone generation:
