Description
5000L Red Wine Fermentation Tank with Floating Lid
This 5000L tank is built for wineries that need one vessel to handle fermentation, maceration, and short-term storage without moving wine between tanks. The floating lid sits on the wine surface and reduces headspace, which limits oxygen pickup and volatile acidity during extended skin contact or settling. A dimple cooling jacket covers the lower shell, giving enough surface area to pull down must temperature after punchdowns or pumpovers.
We fabricate the tank in SUS304 or 316L depending on must chemistry and cleaning schedule. 316L makes sense for high-acid or high-chloride sites, while 304 handles most red wine programs. Interior welds are ground, polished, and passivated. The exterior dimple jacket is spot-welded to the shell before insulation and cladding. The lid uses a food-grade EPDM or silicone seal, and the inflatable tube is sized to hold against CO2 pressure without sticking to the wine surface.
Fittings usually include a top manway, racking arm, sample valve, CIP spray ball, thermometer, pressure/vacuum relief valve, and cooling inlet/outlet. We can add a glycol solenoid, RTD, or level sensor for automated control. The tank can also serve as an anti-corrosion storage tank when fermentation is complete; keep the floating lid clean and dry, and verify the relief valve before sealing.

FAQ
Do I need a floating lid? If you ferment in the same tank or store partially filled wine, yes. It controls ullage and reduces air contact.
Which stainless grade? 304 for standard red wine, 316L for aggressive acidity or coastal facilities.
How do we size cooling? Give us must temperature, ambient, batch size, and glycol supply temperature. We calculate jacket area.
What about CIP? We position the spray ball for full coverage and can match your pump pressure.
Tell us your batch size, wine type, number of tanks and available space. We can recommend the 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.”
