Description
A portable double-tank CIP unit is usually specified when a plant needs a dedicated cleaning skid for one line, a group of tanks, or movement between rooms. We build the caustic and acid/rinse tanks, pump, piping, valves, and controls onto one stainless frame with practical access for maintenance.
The cycle is straightforward: pre-rinse, caustic wash, intermediate rinse, acid wash when required, final rinse, and drain. Temperature, flow, pressure, and level monitoring help operators repeat the same cycle instead of judging it by sight. Return-line conductivity or turbidity sensors can be added when the project calls for them.
Before quoting, we confirm tank volume, circuit count, pipe diameter, soil type, water quality, and heat source. A dairy line with long transfer mains needs different flow and return balance than a compact beverage blender. Oversizing the pump adds cost; undersizing it leaves dead legs and weak spray coverage.
Available configurations, confirmed per project: single-, double-, triple-, or multi-tank layouts; caustic and acid tanks; hot-water tank; electric or steam heating; CIP supply and return pumps; stainless piping, valves, and fittings; temperature, flow, pressure, and level instruments; manual, semi-automatic, or PLC control; custom tank capacity, cleaning circuits, and automation.

Applications
Double-tank CIP systems are used in dairy processing, beverage production, breweries, distilleries, sauce manufacturing, liquid food processing, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical production. Cleaning requirements vary by product residue and plant protocol, so we review wetted materials, surface finish, and rinse water quality before fabrication.
FAQ
How do I choose tank capacity? Start from the volume and wetted area of the largest circuit, then balance dilution, rinse recovery, and floor space.
Can the skid be moved? Portable frames are built with casters or lifting points; final configuration depends on tank size and site access.
What information speeds a quote? Send tank and pipe drawings, product residue, 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!”
