Description
Built for Winery Fermentation
We manufacture 3000 L and 5000 L conical fermentation tanks for wineries that need reliable temperature control during primary fermentation and maceration. The cone helps yeast and solids settle for easier racking. Dimpled cooling jackets cover the side and cone to pull heat during active fermentation.
Tank bodies use SUS304 as standard; SUS316L is available for higher chloride exposure or aggressive cleaning. Interior welds are ground, passivated, and polished to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm on wetted surfaces. Every tank is pressure-tested, and the relief valve setting matches working pressure, not just added as an accessory.
Practical Configuration
Top manway, CIP spray ball, sample valve, racking arm, and thermometer are common. For wine, we often add cooling zones on the cone and lower cylinder; larger 5000 L tanks can use two zones for better uniformity. The jacket connects to your glycol chiller with DIN or tri-clamp ports, and insulation limits condensation in humid cellars.
Small wineries often choose 3000 L for variable-lot fermentation. Commercial wineries may use 5000 L tanks in rows for easier pumpovers, cleaning, and space planning. For reds with extended maceration, cone angle, racking arm height, and jacket coverage matter more than nominal volume.

FAQ
Can one tank handle white and red wine? Yes. For whites, we usually specify a smaller cone and lower jacket zone; for reds, a larger cone and racking arm improve cap management and draining.
Why is a cooling jacket necessary? Fermentation releases heat. Without controlled cooling, yeast stress and stuck fermentation become likely. The jacket lets you hold 18–30°C depending on yeast and style.
How is CIP handled? A rotating spray ball and sanitary connections let you recirculate cleaner and rinse without opening the manway. Wetted surfaces need smooth welds and no dead legs.
What should I prepare before requesting a quote? Batch size, wine type, available height, glycol temperature, voltage, and connection standards. Send us your batch size, wine type, number of tanks and available space. We can recommend tank volume, cooling area and configuration for your winery.

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
