Description
A semi automatic CIP system gives brewery crews a repeatable way to clean tanks, lines, and filling equipment without dismantling the process path. We build each skid around your actual circuits: brew house vessels, fermenters, bright tanks, keg lines, and water tanks. The aim is verifiable flow, temperature, and chemical contact time.
Circuit volume and soil load drive the design. A single-tank unit can suit short runs; two- or three-tank arrangements separate pre-rinse, caustic, acid, and hot water. Heating is electric or steam. Pump sizing follows pipe diameter, lift, and return velocity. Temperature, flow, pressure, and level monitoring match the operator involvement you want.
A typical cycle includes pre-rinse, caustic wash, intermediate rinse, acid wash if needed, final rinse, and sanitizing. Semi automatic operation usually means manual valve alignment with push-button pump and heater control. PLC recipe control is available. We confirm options against tank geometry, chemical compatibility, and utilities before fabrication.
Typical Specifications

| Control | Manual, semi automatic, or PLC |
| Cleaning circuits | Single or multiple, with supply and return |
| Power and dimensions | Site-specific |
| Custom options | Tank capacity, circuits, automation, monitoring |
Configuration lists are not a standard package; final scope is confirmed against your tank geometry and cleaning circuits.
Applications
Dairy, beverage, brewery, distillery, sauce, liquid food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical process lines use CIP to clean tanks, piping, valves, pumps, fillers, and heat exchangers. Product residue, water hardness, chemical concentration, and surface finish determine the cleaning program.
Common Questions
How do I choose tank capacity? Base it on circuit volume, rinse water demand, and cycles per shift. Oversized tanks waste heat; undersized tanks shorten contact time.
Can one system clean multiple circuits? Yes, with proper headers and valve scheduling. We map circuits during review.
What should I prepare for a quote? Tank and pipe volumes, soil type, heat source, utilities, automation target, stainless grade, and installation location.
Request a Configuration Review
Send your industry, processed product, tank and piping details, required cleaning capacity, heat source, automation level, stainless grade, and installation requirements. We will recommend a practical configuration and provide a factory-direct quotation. Engineering support covers layout, utility interfaces, and commissioning guidance.

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,
