Great to talk to, happy to help
Yes. Barry Brown provides Australia-wide delivery and installation, including specialist crane transport and commissioning support.
AISI 304: Suitable for most food and dairy applications.
AISI 316: Enhanced corrosion resistance for aggressive cleaning or chemical environments.
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.
Yes. Barry Brown manages full installation, setup, and commissioning, ensuring minimal disruption to existing operations.
Yes, including stainless steel tank fittings, weld-on fittings, and bulkhead fittings.
Yes, we integrate accessories into the tank design for seamless operation.
We stock a wide range of hygienic stainless steel fittings and accessories, including Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sprayballs, butterfly valves, sample taps, tube bends, and tees for industrial and food-grade applications.
Yes, you can order individual accessories, replacement parts, and fittings as needed to maintain or upgrade your systems. Just contact us with part details.
You can contact Barry Brown & Sons by phone, email, online enquiry form, or by visiting our Pakenham facility.
For the fastest response, please include details about the equipment you need, your application, preferred size or specifications, site location, and whether you require delivery, installation, or custom fabrication support.
Generic equipment that ticks every box on a specification sheet can still fall short of the requirements of your processing site. The application, existing infrastructure and operating conditions determine what's needed in terms of capacity, jacketing configuration, fittings layout and hygienic grade. When they don't, you're left accepting a compromise or paying for modifications after delivery, adding cost and disruption that could have been addressed before the order was placed. Fortunately, Barry Brown & Sons approaches stainless steel equipment supply from the site requirement first, drawing on more than 50 years of experience across dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing. Based in Pakenham and operating since 1970, we've supplied Australian operations that require equipment matched to their specific production environment rather than off-the-shelf stock items. Our experience also supports custom fabrication and modification where a standard configuration isn't appropriate. If you're searching for 'air cooled water chiller system', 'air cooled and water cooled chillers' or other related topics, you can be confident that every order is backed by high-grade materials, skilled fabrication and internal quality testing before it leaves the facility. This means that every recommendation we make as a supplier comes from decades of practical work across varied processing demands, with quality control embedded in how equipment is readied for Australian industrial operations.
Our range can support pilot batch processing, large-scale industrial processing and milk silo applications, as we provide stainless steel tanks in new and custom-built options. Whether you require industrial water tanks or other applications, capacities range from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, while available configurations include single skin, insulated, vertical and horizontal tanks, with stainless steel grades including food-grade 304 and 316. These options can be used for fermentation and brewing, food processing for sauces, ingredients and prepared foods and dairy milk storage that may be helpful for those who work with pasteurisers & cheese vats. If you need industrial water or farm milk tanks, we also have custom fabrication that covers the full process from design to finished product. Fabrication capabilities cover orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, as well as CNC machining and assembly, suitable for both one-off jobs and ongoing production requirements. Where assessment confirms suitability, existing tanks can be upgraded with new connections, agitators, inlets and outlets rather than replaced. Our refurbished stock also provides a cost-effective alternative when you need equipment for your operations. Whether you were searching for 'air cooled water chiller system', 'modular air cooled chiller' or 'packaged air cooled chiller', each item is assessed for structural integrity, operational suitability and compliance before listing.
Give us a call, send an email or submit a website enquiry to get started, then outline your equipment and site requirements. Before preparing a tailored quote, we'll assess capacity, tank configuration, stainless steel grade, cooling duty and existing infrastructure. For buyers yet to finalise their requirements, we can work through the details together, or they can refer to our online size and specification guides to compare suitable options. The team can coordinate Australia-wide transport once the order is confirmed, with specialist crane delivery, lifting, positioning and on-site placement available for big equipment. Compatibility with the existing site infrastructure is even checked before delivery to minimise integration issues. You can have a single point of contact from supply through to commissioning, with the same team also managing electrical work, control panel setup, wiring and system integration. If you're interested in 'food machinery' or 'ss pipe', know that our custom lead times vary according to tank size, configuration and project complexity, with timing confirmed during the quoting stage. And in case you're searching for 'Custom stainless steel fabrication' or 'Buy industrial chiller' for regional and restricted-access projects, the team can engage trusted local contractors where site conditions require them.
