What the 500 L CIP System Does
A CIP skid cleans tanks, lines, fillers, and process equipment without dismantling. The 500 L tank suits dairies, soft drink lines, juice processors, and smaller breweries that need repeatable cleaning between runs. We build the unit in food-grade stainless steel and integrate tank, pump, piping, valves, and controls on a compact frame. Cleaning chemistry, temperature, flow, and contact time do the work. Circuit design must provide complete coverage, drainage, and safe return flow.
During a cycle, heated caustic or acid circulates through the circuit, then rinse water removes chemical residue. Verification follows your plant procedures and instruments. We size the supply pump and return path around pipe diameter, spray device demand, and pressure loss.
Configuration Choices
A single 500 L tank is the base arrangement. Where chemistry separation or faster changeover matters, we quote two- or three-tank systems with acid, caustic, and hot-water tanks. Electric or steam heating, supply and return pumps, stainless piping and valves, temperature/flow/pressure/level monitoring, and manual, semi-automatic, or PLC control are project options. They are not assumed standard features; each is confirmed against your schedule, utilities, and controls standard.

| Heating | Electric or steam, project-specific |
| Pump flow and pressure | Sized to circuit volume, pipe size, spray devices, and pressure loss |
| Operating temperature | Set by cleaning chemistry and plant procedure |
| Control system | Manual, semi-automatic, or PLC |
| Cleaning circuits | Project-specific; review line layouts and return paths |
| Power supply | Site-specific; confirmed at order |
| Dimensions | Layout-dependent; based on tank count and skid arrangement |
| Custom options | Tank capacity, circuits, automation, instrumentation, and piping modifications |
Typical Applications
Dairy processors clean milk tanks, pasteurizers, and filling lines. Soft drink and juice plants clean syrup rooms, blending tanks, and fillers. Breweries, distilleries, sauce plants, liquid food processors, cosmetic plants, and pharmaceutical manufacturers use similar circuits where chemistry and materials are compatible. We review wetted materials, soil type, and chemical compatibility before quoting.
Common Questions
Can one unit serve several circuits? Often yes, but pump, return line, and valve schedule must suit the largest and most restrictive circuit. Simultaneous cleaning is a separate design case.
304 or 316L? Grade depends on cleaning chemicals, chlorides, product residue, and maintenance practice. We confirm wetted duty before quoting.
What data speeds a quote? Tank and pipe sizes, circuit count, soil type, cycle time, heat source, automation level, and site utilities.

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.”

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!”
