Description
A 5,000 L multi-chamber tank tends to come up when a winery has outgrown single-vessel batches but isn\’t ready to pour a new slab. One shell with internal dividers lets you run four lots — or four press fractions — on the same footprint, the same chiller loop, and the same CIP circuit.
How the chambers behave in service
Every chamber carries its own jacket zone, coolant inlet and outlet, sample valve, and racking port. Divider plates are welded full-penetration from both sides and pressure-tested before the insulation goes on. That step is not optional: a divider that weeps between chambers spoils two lots at once, and you usually find out at blending, not at fermentation.
Jacket area is calculated per chamber rather than per tank. Chill one chamber and the chiller sees a smaller load — a 5 HP unit can hold 8–10 °C on a single zone where pulling the whole shell down would call for 15 HP.
Materials and fabrication
Inner shells run 304 or 316L at 3 mm minimum, with the jacket in 2 mm dimple plate or laser-welded channel plate. Go 316L for high-acid musts, long skin contact, or cleaning water with chlorides in it. Interior welds are ground flush, brushed, and passivated, targeting Ra ≤ 0.8 µm on wetted surfaces. Exterior is 1.5–2 mm cladding over 50–80 mm of injected polyurethane. Gaskets are food-grade EPDM or silicone and replaceable without cutting anything.

| Chambers | 2–4, configurable |
| Inner shell | 3 mm SUS304 / 316L |
| Jacket | 2 mm dimple or channel plate |
| Insulation | 50–80 mm polyurethane |
| Interior finish | Ra ≤ 0.8 µm, passivated |
| Design pressure | 1.0–2.0 bar, safety valve set |
| Manways | 450 mm top, 400 mm side per chamber |
| Fittings | CIP spray ball, sample, racking, thermowell, vent |
| Support | Adjustable legs, seismic-rated frame |
Questions we get before quoting
Can the chambers run at different temperatures? Yes, if each zone has its own control valve. Sharing one solenoid across four chambers defeats the purpose.
What sets the safety valve? The lowest-rated component in the assembly, not the tank alone. Tell us your intended top pressure and we set the valve below it.
How is cleaning handled? One spray ball per chamber, drain at the low point, and enough slope that no liquid pools on the divider.
How many chambers do I need? Count your smallest repeatable lot. Four 1,000 L chambers beat two 2,000 L chambers if you never make 2,000 L of anything.
Send us your batch size, varietal or style, number of lots running in parallel, ceiling height, and available chiller capacity. We will come back with chamber count, jacket area per zone, and the connection layout that fits 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
