Precision-engineered stainless steel tanks for fermentation, conditioning, and storage of cider.
Our stainless steel cider fermentation tanks provide cider makers with reliable, hygienic, and durable solutions for every stage of production. From primary fermentation through to maturation, storage, and packaging, our vessels give you the control needed to produce consistent, high-quality cider at scale.
Stable Fermentation
Fermentation Control
Temperature management is vital in cider making. Our tanks can be fitted with cooling jackets to maintain steady conditions, ensuring consistent fermentations whether working with small-batch craft cider or large-volume production.
Reliable Conditioning
Storage & Conditioning
Stainless steel’s inert qualities make it ideal for cider storage and conditioning, helping preserve natural flavour and aroma without contamination or taint. Options such as sealed lids and variable volume tanks provide the flexibility to handle seasonal harvests and varied batch sizes.
Food-Grade Standards
Hygiene & Compliance
Cider production requires strict hygiene. Our tanks feature smooth internal finishes, precision welds, and easy-access fittings to simplify cleaning and minimise the risk of microbial growth. All vessels are manufactured in compliance with food industry regulations.
Tailored Solutions
Designed Around Your Cidery
Every cidery operates differently. We can provide vessels optimised for your space and processes, whether you require dedicated fermentation tanks, transportable vessels, or integrated cooling and mixing systems.
Each tank is produced to order, with customisable features that ensure hygienic operation, ease of use, and long-term performance.
