Description
Wineries rarely buy one tank size and stop there. A 1000 L vessel for trial lots and a 5000 L vessel for the main harvest usually go on the same order, so we build this range on one shell pattern and one jacket layout instead of treating each volume as a separate design.
Construction starts at the shell. Inner body is 3 mm SUS304 up to 3000 L and 3–4 mm above that. 316L is worth the extra cost when the must is high in acid, or when the tank also handles cider and fruit wine at aggressive pH. Welds are TIG, ground and passivated on product contact surfaces. Standard finish is 2B; buyers running strict sanitation audits usually ask for Ra ≤ 0.8 µm internal polishing, which we do before the jacket is welded on, not after.
The cooling jacket is dimple plate, divided into two to four zones by volume so a partly filled tank still cools evenly. That matters in the first days of fermentation, when must temperature can climb several degrees a day. Glycol at −4 °C through correctly sized jacket area holds the must where the yeast strain needs it, and the same jacket handles cold stabilization later. Jacket working pressure is 0.3 MPa, hydro-tested at 0.45 MPa. Top pressure is 0.15 MPa, and the relief valve is sized to the vessel, not to whatever compressor is on site.
Forklift pockets sit under the cone on 1000–2000 L units, so a tank moves between rooms without a crane. Above that we normally supply adjustable feet and lifting lugs instead.
| Volume | 1000 / 2000 / 3000 / 5000 L |
|---|---|
| Material | SUS304 or 316L, 3–4 mm inner shell |
| Cone | 60° or 75°, racking arm fitted |
| Jacket | Dimple plate, 2–4 zones, 0.3 MPa |
| Insulation | 80–100 mm PU, stainless cladding |
| Fittings | 400 mm manway, CIP spray ball, sample valve, 1.5\” tri-clamp ports |
Common questions. Cone angle: 60° for red must and lees discharge, 75° if you want faster solids movement and have the ceiling height. CIP works through a rotating spray ball on a dedicated port, separate from the fill port, so you can clean without breaking the top seal. Glycol connections are sized to your chiller flow rate — give us the number, not the pipe size.

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
