Description
Portable CIP for distributed cleaning loops
A 300 L portable CIP cart fits plants where product lines, tanks, and transfer piping are spread across rooms and a fixed CIP skid is not practical. We build the unit on a stainless steel frame with casters, using a disk spray head in the balance tank to wet the vessel and distribute detergent. The pump, valves, and drain points are arranged for service access, not just for a clean drawing.
During a wash cycle, the operator fills the tank, heats if required, and starts the supply pump. Solution travels through the cleaning circuit and returns to the tank. Temperature, flow, and level are monitored; if the return flow drops, check strainers and spray coverage before adding chemical. Rinse and drain steps follow the same path. The cart is not a substitute for proper circuit design: dead legs, low points, and pump suction conditions still determine cleaning result.
Typical configuration choices
- Single, double, or multi-tank arrangements; acid and alkaline tanks where the process requires separate chemistry.
- Electric or steam heating, with hot-water tanks available for rinse or sanitizing steps.
- CIP supply and return pumps, stainless piping, valves, and fittings matched to the loop.
- Temperature, flow, pressure, and level instruments; manual, semi-automatic, or PLC control.
- Custom tank volume, cleaning circuits, and automation scope.
These are project options, not a standard package. Final scope depends on the cleaning loop, chemistry, and plant utilities. We confirm materials and instrumentation against the duty before release.

Where the cart is used
Dairy, beverage, brewery, winery, sauce, liquid food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical plants use portable CIP where cleaning points change or volumes do not justify a central system. Material grade, surface finish, and documentation are selected for the product contact and plant standards; confirm compliance requirements with your quality team.
FAQ
Can one cart serve several lines? Yes, if pump head, return routing, and cleaning circuit are sized for the longest run. Avoid sharing a cart across incompatible chemistries without a rinse step.
What should be included in a quote request? Product, tank and pipe diameters, loop length, cleaning temperature, chemical type, available steam or power, and preferred control level.
How do we choose 300 L? Tank volume must cover pump suction, dilution, and return surge. If the circuit is long or heavily fouled, a larger tank or higher flow may be needed.

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!”
I want to express my 100% satisfaction with Ace . The service was outstanding: quick, professional, and friendly. Polly provided excellent support throughout.
