Description
A CIP system is a recirculating cleaning loop tied to tanks, lines, fillers, and process equipment. We build skid-mounted and modular clean-in-place systems for tea drinks, beverage, milk, sauce, brewery, cosmetic, and liquid processing plants. Cleaning solution must reach wetted surfaces at controlled temperature, flow, and concentration, then return without cross-contamination.
A typical cycle runs pre-rinse, alkaline wash, intermediate rinse, acid wash when needed, final rinse, and sanitizing if specified. We size pumps, piping, valves, and return paths around circuit volume and pressure drop. Tank capacity, loop count, and heat source follow the process, not a catalog default.
Options include single-, double-, triple-, or multi-tank systems; caustic and acid tanks; hot water tanks; electric or steam heating; CIP supply and return pumps; stainless piping, valves, and fittings; temperature, flow, pressure, and level monitoring; and manual, semi-automatic, or PLC control. These are available options, not guaranteed standard features. Only approved drawing items are supplied.

Where CIP Fits
Dairy processors use it on raw and pasteurized milk circuits, silos, and fillers. Beverage and tea plants clean mixing, blending, filling, and transfer lines. Breweries and wineries use it on fermenters, bright tanks, and packaging runs. Sauce, liquid food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical operations use similar loops where wetted surfaces must be cleaned between products. Materials, surface finish, documentation, and validation needs vary by plant and product; we review those before quoting.
FAQ
How many tanks do I need? One tank can suit simple rinse-and-wash duty. Separate caustic and acid tanks help recovery and changeover. Multi-tank skids support longer production windows.
Can it clean existing lines? Usually, after a piping survey. We need pipe size, length, elevation, fittings, and circuit volume to check flow and return.
What should I send for a quote? Your industry, product, tank and piping details, required cleaning capacity, heat source, automation level, stainless grade, and installation location. Spare parts requests need model and serial data.
How do we avoid oversizing? Measure circuit volume and pressure drop first. Match pump flow to return conditions and cleaning chemical, not nameplate alone.
We manufacture stainless CIP equipment and provide engineering support from layout to commissioning. Send your process details, and we will recommend a configuration and prepare a custom quote.
Our products
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!”
