In all my years of being in the dairy industry I have never found anyone quite like Scott Brown. He is efficient honest and knows his stuff and my experience has wonderful and stress free. I recommend Scott to anyone needing vat, cooking and heating services.

Key Takeaways

  • Stainless steel water tanks can support commercial and industrial applications across food, dairy, beverage, brewing, chemical and processing environments.
  • We can supply, build or modify tanks to suit specific site constraints, process duties, fittings, valves, sensors, insulation and heating or cooling requirements.
  • Delivery and installation planning is important because large tanks may involve restricted access, specialist transport, rigging equipment, electrical work or control panel setup.
  • Regular cleaning and inspection help maintain hygiene and operating condition, with CIP systems offering automated internal cleaning for tanks, pipes and related processing equipment.
  • The right stainless water tank specification depends on water chemistry, pressure requirements, venting needs, temperature conditions and how the tank fits into the wider process system.

It shouldn’t be difficult to look for a stainless water tank that fits your site, your process and your compliance requirements. We at Barry Brown & Sons supply and fabricate stainless steel tanks, allowing you to access equipment that suits your specific requirements.

Find the right stainless steel water tank for your application.

A trusted supplier for stainless steel water tanks

Since 1970, we’ve supplied stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and custom fabrication to Australian operations across food, dairy, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing. If you’re looking for a stainless tank in Australia, we’re a leading supplier that serves buyers who need reliable vessels backed by decades of fabrication experience.

When you need a durable stainless water tank for commercial or industrial use, we can help. Whether the vessel is for straightforward water storage or forms part of a wider process system, our range and experience cover both. 

For those looking to buy an industrial stainless steel water storage tank in Australia, our team can advise on specifications, lead times and delivery logistics. We’re here to guide you on a variety of other operational essentials as well, including thermal energy storage solutions and more.

We can build or modify tanks for you, too.

We work around your individual operating requirements rather than restricting you to standard industrial water tank arrangements. Our stainless steel range includes options configured for different site constraints, process duties and installation conditions. 

Customisation also extends to the components that determine how the tank functions within your wider system. A commercial water tank, for example, may require specific process connections, valves, sensors, pipework, agitators, insulation and heating or cooling jackets. If your operation calls for a specific fitting arrangement or a non-standard configuration, we can assess and build to suit.

Additionally, a process water tank designed for cooling applications may work alongside a liquid cooling chiller. We can provide you with a comprehensive system to help maintain target temperatures across an industrial operation.

Leave your delivery and installation needs to us.

A stainless steel water vessel is often a sizeable piece of equipment. That’s why we can manage more than the tank itself, with our support covering transport, positioning and installation. Our team can even handle electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring. This gives your business one team to coordinate with, which means you can plan for the final operating position.

Narrow doorways, limited crane reach or tight yard space can all affect how a large stainless water tank gets moved into place. Where specialist transport or rigging equipment is required, we bring in trusted local contractors to manage delivery and reduce downtime. 

If you are looking at a stainless steel tank for sale with full delivery coordination, having the same supplier handle cooling equipment simplifies the process. You can also buy industrial chiller units matched to the installation. The goal is to get your equipment installed and running without unnecessary delays or surprises on the day.

Regular cleaning and inspection keep everything in suitable operating condition.

After integrating and using our stainless water tank, it’s important to perform routine cleaning for safety and hygiene compliance. Where manual cleaning is appropriate, accessible surfaces, outlets and removable components should then be cleaned using products and methods suitable for your facility’s process requirements.

As for tanks connected to a Clean-In-Place (CIP) system, cleaning fluid can be circulated through the vessel without dismantling the main equipment. This is more convenient because a CIP solution allows equipment, pipes and tanks to be cleaned internally without needing to dismantle them first. This can reduce manual labour and cleaning time while making routine sanitation more efficient and consistent.

We have a variety of CIP systems in our range.

These are designed for hygiene-critical industries, including dairy, beverage, brewing, food processing and industrial applications. This line includes single tank wash systems, mobile CIP units and fully automated PLC-controlled tank CIP system solutions built to suit your production requirements.

For instance, CIP protocols are relevant for operations where a milk holding vat must meet strict sanitation thresholds between batches. In dairy and beverage plants that rely on a stainless water tank, the vessel’s hygiene standards also often align with those required for equipment such as a pasteuriser. 

Aside from those using farm dairy equipment, facilities that use a stainless water tank within a beverage or brewing line often pair it with glycol chillers to keep product temperatures within specification during processing. This arrangement can similarly benefit from CIP systems for convenient automation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Extreme chloride concentrations increase the risk of localised pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly where chlorides accumulate around joints, deposits and tight crevices. Temperature also influences corrosion behaviour.

In many cases, a grade 316 water tank offers stronger resistance to chloride-induced pitting than lower-grade alternatives. A grade 316 stainless steel water tank for food processing is a common specification where both chemical resistance and hygiene compliance are required.

For chlorinated or chemically treated water, let us know the water chemistry, temperature and other operating conditions. We can then assess the appropriate stainless steel grade and tank configuration for your application.

An atmospheric stainless water tank stores water at or close to normal atmospheric pressure, while a pressurised tank is engineered to withstand a defined internal pressure during operation. With this, these types of tanks have different vessel designs, wall thicknesses, fittings and pressure protection.

Pressure vessels are designed around specified design pressures and temperatures and should not be substituted with a tank intended only for atmospheric service. If your water system connects to pumps, compressed air or another pressure source, those operating conditions need to be established before Barry Brown & Sons specifies or fabricates the tank.

In addition to this, a stainless water tank is often integrated into a temperature-management system, and facilities that require cooling may explore whether they need a water cooled water chiller from us.

A non-pressurised stainless water tank generally needs a way for air to enter as water leaves and escape as water enters. Without adequate pressure equalisation, filling can create excess internal pressure while rapid emptying can produce a vacuum.

Vacuum conditions can deform or collapse a tank that wasn’t designed to withstand them. As manufacturers who consider industrial tank safety, we incorporate proper systems and designs to protect closed vessels during emptying and cooling after hot cleaning.
