What Is a Wine Fermentation Tank with Cooling Jacket and CIP?
An SS304 wine fermentation tank with cooling jacket and CIP is a professional vessel designed for controlled fermentation in wineries. It integrates temperature regulation (cooling jacket) and clean-in-place (CIP) systems to ensure stable fermentation, hygienic operation, and consistent wine quality.
This type of tank is essential for red wine, white wine, and fruit wine production, where precise temperature control directly affects aroma, flavor development, and final product quality.
SS304 Wine Fermentation Tank Product Introduction
The SS304 wine fermentation tank with cooling jacket and CIP is engineered for wineries that require hygienic, efficient, and controllable fermentation processes.
Made from food-grade SS304 stainless steel, the tank offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability. The cooling jacket ensures efficient heat exchange, while the CIP system enables fast and effective cleaning without disassembly.
The design supports both small and large wineries, improving production efficiency while maintaining premium wine quality.
This is not just a tank — it is a complete fermentation solution for professional wineries.

Industry Pain Points
Winery operators often face:
- Unstable fermentation temperature
- Inconsistent wine quality
- High manual cleaning workload
- Risk of contamination
- Difficult process control
- Limited production scalability
Our Fermentation Solution
This solution addresses those issues through:
- Integrated cooling jacket for temperature control
- CIP system for automated cleaning
- Hygienic SS304 construction
- Stable fermentation environment
- Reduced labor and maintenance
- Flexible customization for different capacities
System Configuration
The system consists of a vertical stainless steel fermentation tank equipped with a cooling jacket and CIP system.
The cooling jacket is designed to circulate glycol or chilled water, enabling precise temperature control throughout fermentation. The tank structure supports efficient heat transfer and uniform cooling.
The CIP system includes spray balls and piping connections, allowing automated cleaning of internal surfaces. This ensures hygiene and reduces downtime between batches.
Additional components such as valves, manholes, sampling ports, and level indicators are integrated to support daily operation.
