Automatic CIP Cleaning for Brewing Tanks and Process Lines
We build automatic clean-in-place systems around the real cleaning job: tank interiors, transfer lines, valves, pumps, fillers, and heat exchangers. A brewery may run caustic, acid, and hot-water cycles on different schedules. A dairy or sauce plant may need heavier soil removal and longer rinse steps. The skid is not a catalog item dropped into a plant. Tank count, circuit length, soil type, water quality, and available steam or power set the layout.
Possible configurations include single-, double-, triple-, or multi-tank units; separate caustic and acid tanks; hot-water tanks; electric or steam heating; supply and return pumps; stainless piping, valves, and fittings; temperature, flow, pressure, and level monitoring; and manual, semi-automatic, or PLC control. These are options, not standard features. We confirm each function for the model and project.
Technical Specifications
| Cleaning tank capacity | Project-specific; sized by circuit volume and rinse demand |
|---|---|
| Number of tanks | Single, double, triple, or multi-tank; caustic, acid, hot water, rinse |
| Stainless grade | 304 or 316L, selected for detergent and product contact requirements |
| Heating method | Electric immersion or steam heat exchanger; confirmed by utility availability |
| Pump flow and pressure | Selected around spray device flow, line pressure drop, and return balance |
| Operating temperature | Set by detergent and substrate; hot-water and caustic steps confirmed per project |
| Control system | Manual, semi-automatic, or PLC/HMI with recipe and alarm functions |
| Cleaning circuits | Single or multiple supply/return loops with air blow and drain options |
| Power | Customer utility voltage and frequency; control and heater loads defined at order |
| Dimensions | Layout-dependent; skid or modular arrangement to fit available floor space |
| Custom options | Tank volume, circuit count, automation, instrumentation, and material finish |
Where These Systems Fit
Dairy processing, beverage production, breweries, distilleries, sauce manufacturing, liquid food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical production all use CIP to repeat cleaning without opening equipment. Cleaning requirements differ by soil, surface finish, and rinse water. We size circuits and cycles around those inputs rather than a generic recipe.
Selection Details That Matter
Start with tank volumes, pipe diameters and run lengths, number of cleaning circuits, soil type, target cycle time, heat source, drain routing, and automation level. Undersized return pumps and ignored water hardness cause recurring problems. So does a layout that leaves low spots in drain lines.
FAQ
Can one CIP unit serve multiple tanks? Yes, with valves and a defined circuit schedule. We confirm simultaneous or sequential cleaning needs first.
Do you provide custom tank sizes and circuits? Yes. Tank volume, pump duty, instrumentation, and control sequence are matched to the plant.
What do you need for a quote? Send industry and product, tank and piping details, required cleaning capacity, heat source, automation level, stainless grade, and installation location.

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,
