Description
Square geometry, stacked two high
A square tank earns its place when the cellar is tight. A 2000 L unit sits on roughly 1.25 m × 1.25 m of floor; stack two and you hold 4000 L in the footprint a single round tank would take. Fork pockets are welded into the base frame, so an ordinary forklift lifts a full tank without a crane or sling. The stacking feet align on the top frame — we design the load path so an upper tank rests on the frame, never on the shell.
Materials and fabrication
SUS304 is our standard; we switch to SUS316L when the must runs high in chloride or the tank also handles high-acid juice. Body plate is 3 mm, the base plate that carries the stacking load is 4 mm. Product-contact welds are TIG, back-purged, then ground and passivated. Interiors ship as 2B mill finish, or mirror polished to Ra ≤ 0.4 µm when you need verifiable cleanliness for audit.
Cooling runs through a dimple jacket on the side walls, rated at 0.3 MPa working pressure with a matching relief valve and vacuum breaker on the top plate. A 360° CIP spray ball handles cleaning; 1.5\” clamp fittings keep hose connections consistent with the rest of your cellar. Sample valve, racking port and a side or top manway are positioned per your layout.
Where these tanks get used
Wineries run them for primary fermentation and short-term storage. Cideries and kombucha producers stack them for cold crash. Distilleries use them as wash tanks. Small producers usually start with two 2000 L units and add a third on top later; commercial cellars order 3000 L in banks of four to six on a shared glycol header.

Common questions
Can two full 3000 L tanks really be stacked? Yes, provided the floor slab and the lower tank\’s base frame are rated for the combined static load. Send us your slab detail and we confirm it.
Is the jacket enough for a fast cold crash? For 2000–3000 L batches with a properly sized glycol chiller, yes. If you crash hard in summer, we add a second jacket zone.
How is CIP connected? Spray ball inlet, racking port and drain all take standard clamp fittings, so your existing pump and hose set works without adapters.
Tell us your batch size, wine type, number of tanks and available space. We can recommend tank volume, cooling area and configuration for your cellar.

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.”
