Description
What a CIP system does
A clean-in-place skid circulates cleaning and rinse solutions through tanks, lines, valves and process equipment without major dismantling. Repeatable contact time, temperature and flow matter more than the chemical dose alone. We build stainless CIP systems to order, from 100 L portable carts to 1000–2000 L plant units. Layout follows circuit volume, soil load and changeover schedule.
How the cleaning cycle runs
A common sequence is pre-rinse, caustic wash, intermediate rinse, optional acid wash and final rinse. Return pump capacity, line velocity, spray-ball coverage and drainage affect the result. We size pumps, piping and valves around your worst-case circuit, then check heater duty against temperature rise and ambient conditions. Control can be manual, semi-automatic or PLC-based, with temperature, flow, pressure and level monitoring available.
Configuration choices
- Single, double, triple or multi-tank CIP skids
- Caustic, acid and hot-water tanks
- Electric or steam heating
- Supply and return pumps, stainless piping, valves and fittings
- Custom tank capacity, cleaning circuits and automation
Options are set per project. We confirm only the features shown on the approved drawing and data sheet.

Where these systems are used
Dairy, beverage, brewery, distillery, sauce, liquid food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical plants use CIP to clean tanks, fillers, mixers, heat exchangers, valves and transfer lines. Each plant sets its own cleaning and validation standards; we supply equipment data to support your protocol.
FAQ
How do I choose tank capacity? Start with circuit volume, rinse water available and changeover frequency. A portable 100 L or 200 L cart can suit small loops; 1000 L and 2000 L units usually serve larger plants.
Can heating be added later? Sometimes, but it is cleaner to define the heat source and duty at quotation. Steam and electric packages need different space and utilities.
What information speeds a quote? Send a piping sketch, tank list, product soil, cleaning schedule, utility data and preferred control level.
Request a configuration
Tell us your industry and product, tank and piping details, required cleaning capacity, heat source, automation level, stainless grade and site conditions. We will recommend a configuration, confirm the drawing and quote the skid.

Although there were a few minor issues, thanks to Polly’s help, it looks brilliant and has brought my little distillery quite a few new customers.
Very good！！I see now in my texting to you that in my excitement over having the installation here in the USA I totally forgot to give you and the company of ACE a very big compliment on the quality of the whole Installation!! It all looks fabulous and the way you packed it in the container was extraordinary!! I am very impressed with your company and want to say a big thank you to everybody who worked on my order!!
We have been using this still for a few batches now making whiskey, gin and a few other spirits and we are very happy with the results so far. The gear works well and gives good control during distillation. The spirit comes out clean and consistent from batch to batch and we have gotten the flavor profile we were looking for. It has also been easy to operate and maintain. It has been a great addition to our distillery and I’d definitely recommend it to other craft distillers looking for reliable equipment.”
Polly is the man! I highly recommend him and this products they produce! I’m very satisfied. she communicates very well and the quality of workmanship is excellent! Shipping was exceptional. Thannks Polly and team
It took 60 days from ordering to delivery, and it looks like a work of art. Thank you to Polly for her help.
It was quite a big job to put the distiller together, so I asked a friend to help me, and I managed to get it done in just eight hours. I’m really pleased with it – it looks brilliant.Ryan Murphy
We are so happy with our new copper distillation system from ACE Distillery Equipment. The equipment is of a fine quality, well crafted and beautifully finished.
The whole process from manufacturing, shipping, installation to commissioning was seamless. The ACE team were professional, responsive and very knowledgeable. They helped us complete the installation successfully and gave great technical support.
It still looks amazing in our distillery and does exactly what it says on the tin. We highly recommend ACE to anyone looking for reliable and high quality distillation equipment.
Thank you ACE team for the great work!”
