Description
Portable CIP for Brewery and Beverage Plants
We build portable CIP systems for breweries that need a dedicated cleaning skid without tying up production tanks. The 50 L and 100 L units are common starting points, but tank size should follow loop volume, soil load, and changeover frequency, not catalog habit. A 50 L tank can be right for small brewhouse loops and keg lines; 100 L gives more chemical recovery and buffer for longer pipe runs.
The cleaning sequence is straightforward: pre-rinse, caustic wash, intermediate rinse, acid wash where needed, and final rinse. Temperature, flow, and contact time do the work. Our skids can include one, two, or three tanks; caustic and acid vessels; a hot-water tank; electric or steam heating; CIP supply and return pumps; stainless piping, valves, and fittings; and temperature, flow, pressure, and level monitoring. Manual, semi-automatic, or PLC control is available. Confirm every option for your project before order.
How to size the system
Start with the largest cleaning circuit: tank volume, pipe diameter and length, spray-ball count, and pump curve. Return-line slope and drainability matter as much as tank liters. Undersized heat input and poor return flow are common reasons a CIP skid underperforms. We review your loop drawing, utilities, and cleaning chemicals before recommending a configuration. Factory-direct stainless construction and engineering review are part of the build process.

Applications
These skids clean fermenters, bright tanks, brewhouse vessels, transfer lines, fillers, and process piping. Similar configurations serve dairy, beverage, distillery, sauce, liquid food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical production. Cleaning requirements differ by soil type and validation needs, so we specify materials, surface finish, and instrumentation accordingly.
FAQ
Can one skid clean multiple loops? Yes, with proper valves and return routing. Confirm simultaneous or sequential cleaning.
Electric or steam heat? Electric is simpler at low capacity; steam suits larger loads or existing plant steam. We size heaters against tank volume and target temperature.
Do you customize? Yes, including tank capacity, number of circuits, pump performance, controls, and stainless grade. Send your loop details for review.

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
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!”
