Yes. All tanks are engineered-to-order, with extensive customisation options including fittings, insulation, integrated pipework, agitators, valves, sensors, and heating or cooling jackets.
Chiller sizing depends on your total heat load, including tank volume, product temperature, ambient conditions, and process heat inputs. To ensure stable temperature control and energy efficiency, Barry Brown assesses your full process requirements rather than relying on generic rules of thumb.
Water chillers are suitable for cooling applications above 7ºC, while glycol chillers use a water-glycol mixture to prevent freezing in low-temperature systems and provide greater temperature stability.

The path from equipment delivery to operation grows more complex with every separate trade you need to coordinate. A supplier that only delivers the product leaves procurement and operations managers to absorb the installation risk on their own. On top of this, equipment that's ageing and losing output introduces the added pressure of downtime. If a chiller's capacity drops or a tank is past its best, your business may need a qualified supplier before you've had time and means to properly source one. As such, we at Barry Brown & Sons are here to help with these challenges. For more than 50 years, our Pakenham-based, family-owned operation has supplied and fabricated industrial equipment in Australia. Since 1970, we have been supplying stainless steel equipment, from tanks and industrial water chillers to fittings and custom fabrication. Supporting sites across the beverage, food, brewing, dairy, industrial processing and chemical sectors, our team works as an engineering partner instead of simply supplying equipment. We assess your site requirements first before recommending equipment, then source, modify and install gear matched to your specific operation. If you've been searching for 'air cooled refrigeration' or 'chiller', our long-running presence lets you know that support will still be there after the equipment arrives.
No 2 operations share the same process, space constraints or production capacity, so the equipment range needs to cover far more than off-the-shelf options. We supply new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks from 10 litres through to 100,000 litres, supporting everything from pilot-scale development to large industrial processing and milk silo applications. The range includes specialised farm milk tanks designed to meet the demands of dairy operations, alongside industrial water tanks used across a variety of processing applications. The full configuration set (single skin, insulated, jacketed and dimple-jacketed, in vertical or horizontal orientation) is available in food-grade 304 and 316 stainless steel to meet hygienic processing requirements. Sites with non-standard needs can draw on our in-house custom fabrication capabilities, including orbital, pipe, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly, whether the job is a one-off or a recurring production requirement. For dairy processors, we also supply and install pasteurisers & cheese vats suitable for both large-scale industrial production and smaller artisanal operations. Supporting components, including Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sprayballs, butterfly valves, sample taps, tube bends and tees, are available as well, so you can turn to us, no matter if you're searching for 'air cooled refrigeration', 'air cooled chiller process' or 'chiller loop'.
You get a single point of accountability across the whole job when one supplier manages equipment supply to commissioning. Barry Brown & Sons covers delivery, electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring within the installation scope, so you won't need to coordinate separate trades at every step. Site access and positioning are assessed before dispatch, with specialist crane transport arranged for large or heavy equipment, and we deliver to anywhere in Australia. Your existing infrastructure is reviewed against the equipment specs before dispatch to avoid compatibility issues on site. Expected timelines for custom orders are also defined as part of the quoting stage. If you've been searching for 'stainless steel fabrication Sydney', 'industrial cooling system' or other topics for solutions, you can start by providing your specifications by phone, email or through the website enquiry form, and the team will respond with a quote based on your actual requirements rather than a generic price list. And if you've been interested in 'Stainless water tank' and 'Stainless steel water tank' but are worried about location, rest assured that we can bring in trusted local contractors when getting large equipment installed in locations with limited site access to reduce downtime. Contact us today and let us know about your requirements.
