Description
What the CIP System Does
A 600 liter stainless steel CIP system automates cleaning of beer brewing tanks and associated process lines. Instead of manual scrubbing, the skid circulates detergent, rinse water, and sanitizer through spray balls, tank circuits, and piping at controlled flow, temperature, and contact time. For breweries, this makes tank turnarounds more repeatable and reduces operator exposure to caustic and acid solutions.
We build these systems as factory-direct stainless steel skids. The cleaning program is matched to your tank geometry, soil load, and utilities. A 600 L tank is a practical starting point for small to mid-size cellars, but capacity, pump size, and heating load should be checked against the largest circuit and the number of tanks cleaned per shift.
Options and Configuration
Available options include single-, two-, three-, or multi-tank CIP systems; acid and caustic tanks; a hot-water tank; electric or steam heating; CIP supply and return pumps; stainless piping, valves, and fittings; temperature, flow, pressure, and level monitoring; manual, semi-automatic, or PLC control; and custom tank capacity, cleaning circuits, and automation. These are configuration choices, not guaranteed standard features. We confirm each item for the specific model or project.

Where CIP Systems Are Used
Dairy, beverage, brewery, distillery, sauce, liquid food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical processors use CIP to clean tanks, lines, fillers, heat exchangers, and process piping. Cleaning chemistry, temperature, flow, and contact time depend on product soil and equipment design. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic projects often need tighter documentation and surface requirements, which are reviewed during engineering.
FAQ
How do I choose tank capacity? Start with cleaning circuit volume, soil load, rinse stages, and required batches per shift. A 600 L system may suit one cellar; larger plants may need multiple tanks or a bigger buffer.
Can one skid serve several tanks? Yes, with valve manifolds and cleaning circuits. The layout, pump pressure, and return routing determine how many loops are practical.
What should I prepare before a quote? Send tank and piping drawings, product details, cleaning chemicals, heat source, voltage, automation level, and installation location. We then recommend the tank configuration, pump duty, and controls.

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!”
I want to express my 100% satisfaction with Ace . The service was outstanding: quick, professional, and friendly. Polly provided excellent support throughout. The delivered 100 gallon copper pot still distillery equipment product perfectly meets my expectations and stands out fo r its excellent quality. I feel well taken care of and will recommend you without hesitation.
Thank you for the great service.
Best regards,
