Description
A 3000 L jacketed fermenter with a top-mounted agitator is not a one-size vessel. It is usually specified when wine, cider, or fruit wine must be fermented, blended, or kept homogeneous before filtration or bottling. The agitator prevents solids from settling and helps integrate yeast, nutrients, or fining agents without introducing excessive oxygen.
We build the tank with SUS304 or 316L depending on chloride exposure and cleaning chemicals. For cider and wine, 304 is common; 316L makes sense where acidic blends or aggressive CIP are expected. The inner shell is welded, ground, and polished to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm on product contact surfaces. Dimple or channel jackets cover the cylindrical body and lower cone. PU insulation keeps cooling demand stable. Seals are food-grade EPDM or silicone, with options for Viton where higher temperatures or specific cleaning agents are used.
Temperature control matters because fermentation heat can stall yeast or shift aromatics. A glycol jacket and PLC with PT100 sensors hold setpoints within ±0.5°C. Top-mounted agitator with VFD allows gentle mixing for grapes or pulp and faster blending for cider. Pressure relief and safety valve protect the tank during closed fermentation or CIP. CIP spray ball, sample valve, racking arm, and tri-clamp connections let operators clean and transfer without opening the manway.

| Design pressure | 0.2–0.3 MPa (custom) |
| Connections | CIP, sample, racking, glycol inlet/outlet, pressure relief |
Can one tank handle fermentation and mixing? Yes, if the agitator is sized for the viscosity and solids load. For grape must or pulpy cider, we slow the shaft and use larger impellers. For clear wine polishing, lower power is enough.
Do I need a cone bottom? A cone helps yeast and lees discharge. For pure liquid mixing, a flat or shallow cone bottom may be easier to fit in low-headroom rooms.
How do I prepare for a quote? Send batch size, product type, solids content, target temperature, available height, and utility data. Engineers need those details to recommend jacket area, agitator type, and control level.
Tell us your batch size, product type, number of tanks and available space. We can recommend the tank volume, cooling area and configuration for your winery or cider house.

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.”
