Description
Where a 500L Single Wall Tank Fits
Most customers ordering this tank are working in 1,000–5,000 bottle lots, or pulling a single varietal aside for trials. A single wall vessel holds wine at whatever temperature the cellar gives it. In a room held at 12–16°C, that is workable for red maceration, blending trials and short-term storage before bottling. If you need to drop a white must to 8°C, this is the wrong vessel — order a dimple-jacketed tank instead. We would rather say that now than ship you something that cannot crash-cool.
Fabrication Details That Show Up Later
Shell and bottom are rolled from SUS304; 316L is available when the tank sees high chloride cleaning or heavy SO₂ additions. Standard plate runs 2 mm on the shell, 2.5 mm on the dished bottom, TIG welded inside, ground flush, then pickled and passivated. Interior finish is 2B mill, or polished to Ra 0.4–0.6 µm when the tank will sit on lees and rely on a CIP spray ball rather than hand scrubbing.
Top end: hinged clamp lid or a 400 mm manway with gasketed cover and airlock port. Side fittings are tri-clamp — racking arm, sample valve, 1.5 in. butterfly on the bottom outlet, 1 in. CIP port. Leg sockets are welded, not bolted, and the bottom is sloped 2–3° so racking leaves less behind.

Questions We Get Before Ordering
Can it be sealed and pushed with gas? No. Single wall, unrated. Fit an airlock or vent; use a pump for transfers.
Can you change the dimensions? Yes. Diameter, leg height and fitting positions are the usual requests, especially when a cellar door is 750 mm wide.
How do we clean it? A 1 in. CIP port and spray ball cover the shell in about 10 minutes at 2–3 bar. Pull the racking arm and sample valve for periodic inspection.
Tell us your lot size, wine style, number of tanks and cellar ceiling height. We can confirm volume, lid type, outlet size and fitting layout before you commit.

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.”
