Automatic CIP Washing System for Dairy and Beverage Plants
Cleaning a dairy tank or beverage line is a flow and chemistry problem as much as a tank volume problem. We build automatic CIP systems around the actual circuit: vessel spray balls, transfer piping, valves, pumps, fillers, and the return path. The goal is repeatable contact time, temperature, and detergent concentration across every wetted surface.
A CIP cycle typically moves through pre-rinse, caustic or acid wash, intermediate rinse, and final rinse. Hot water or sanitizing steps can be added when the process calls for them. Supply and return pumps keep flow through the loop, while instruments monitor temperature, flow, pressure, and tank level. PLC control records and repeats the recipe; semi-automatic and manual options remain available for simpler plants.
Depending on the project, we configure single, double, triple, or multi-tank systems with separate acid and caustic vessels, hot water tanks, electric or steam heating, stainless piping, valves, and fittings, and project-specific automation. These are available options, not a standard package. We confirm each item against the cleaning duty before quotation. We manufacture stainless steel tanks, skids, and piping spools and support layout, controls, and commissioning.
Technical Specifications
| Cleaning tank capacity | Project-specific, often 200-5,000 L per tank |
|---|---|
| Number of cleaning tanks | 1 to 4 or more, depending on cycle and chemical separation |
| Stainless steel grade | 304 or 316L, confirmed by product and cleaning chemistry |
| Heating method | Electric immersion or steam heat exchanger |
| Pump flow and pressure | Sized to circuit pressure drop and spray device requirements |
| Operating temperature | Set by detergent and process requirement |
| Control system | Manual, semi-automatic, or PLC/HMI with recipe storage |
| Cleaning circuits | Single or multiple supply and return loops |
| Power supply | Customer site voltage and frequency |
| Dimensions | Layout-dependent; confirmed after circuit and tank sizing |
| Custom options | Tank capacity, skid layout, instrumentation, automation, and piping |
Applications
These systems suit dairy processing, beverage production, breweries, distilleries, sauce manufacturing, liquid food processing, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical processing. Cleaning requirements vary by soil type, surface finish, circuit length, and plant hygiene program; we review those details rather than apply one recipe to every line.
FAQ
How do I size tank capacity? Start with the wetted circuit volume, rinse and wash steps, and required flow. Tank size alone does not set cleaning performance.
Can we reuse wash solutions? Yes, where the chemistry and soil load allow it. We review settling, filtration, concentration control, and dump frequency.
What information is needed for a quote? Provide product type, tank and piping layout, 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.
