Description
What a 5,000 L Tank Is Actually For
Most 5,000 L orders reach us from two situations: a winery adding its first real production vessel, or a beverage plant that has outgrown 1,000–2,000 L tanks and wants fewer, larger batches. Both need the same thing — temperature that holds across the full volume, not only next to the jacket.
Fabrication Details That Show Up Later
Shell and dish ends are 304 stainless as standard, 316L when the product is acidic or the cleaning cycle is aggressive. Dimple plate jackets are spot-welded to the shell in a grid, which gives wide heat-transfer surface without the weight of a separate channel jacket. Every jacket is hydro-tested at 1.5× working pressure before insulation goes on. Interior finishes run 2B or 320 grit, with weld seams ground, brushed and passivated. Cone angles from 15° to 60°, plus a racking arm, manway, sample valve and CIP spray ball sized to the tank diameter.
Where These Tanks Fit
Wine and cider fermentation, juice and syrup holding, kombucha, and food-grade liquid storage. For red wine we normally increase the cooling surface and fit a top lid for cap management.

Questions Buyers Ask Us
How much cooling area do I need? It depends on your glycol temperature and how fast you want to pull a ferment down. Send us the batch size and target crash time and we will size the jacket zones rather than guess.
What glycol supply temperature? Most wine work runs fine at −5 to 2 °C supply; colder glycol means less surface area but higher chiller load.
Can it hold pressure? Fermentation vessels are not pressure tanks. We fit an appropriately sized safety valve and relief set point, and we will not rate the shell above what the plate thickness supports.
How is cleaning handled? A rotating CIP spray ball matched to the tank diameter, with a bottom drain sized for full flow, keeps manual entry rare.
Tell us your batch size, product type, number of tanks and available floor space. We can recommend the tank volume, cooling area and configuration for your plant.

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
