Description
A 2000 L red wine fermentor usually gets specified once a cellar has outgrown open-top bins but still manages caps by hand. The fork slots on the upper shell let a forklift or overhead crane lift the tank body or the liner during cleaning and repositioning — practical when tanks sit on pallets or the crush pad layout changes between vintages.
The body is fabricated from 304 stainless, with 316L available for high-acid musts or chloride-heavy washdown. Shell runs 3 mm, the cone 4 mm. Welds are argon-purged TIG, ground flush at wine contact points, and the interior is passivated after fabrication. Dimpled cooling jackets cover the cylindrical wall and, on most builds, the cone. Glycol at -5 to -10 °C holds must within roughly ±1 °C through the 24–30 °C peak of primary fermentation.

Questions we get before quoting
Is a jacketed cone necessary? For long macerations on Cabernet or Syrah, yes — the bottom of a 2000 L tank runs warmer than the wall, and that gradient shows up as uneven extraction.
How does working pressure relate to the safety valve? The relief valve is sized to the highest gas flow you can produce, including closed fermentation or pump-over. It is set below the shell test pressure; changing it without re-checking the shell is not something we recommend.
CIP and connections? Spray ball at the top, drain and racking arm at the cone, glycol in/out at 1.5\” or 2\” tri-clamp. Everything reaches the spray pattern.
Small producers often order one tank and grow later; commercial wineries buy in matched sets so cooling load and manifold sizing stay consistent. Tell us your batch size, wine type, number of fermentors and available floor space. We can recommend tank volume, cooling area and configuration for your cellar.

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
