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.

Not every processing site can make off-the-shelf equipment work for its actual requirements. When there's a mismatch between the application and the fitting layout, hygienic grade, tank capacity or jacket configuration, an operation may face unnecessary downtime or costly rework. And installation and integration of industrial equipment may fall on the procurement and operations teams after the supplier drops off the products, even though they shouldn't just be delivered to the site. Barry Brown & Sons has been fabricating, supplying and installing products across Australia since 1970, and that includes stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and related processing equipment. We're not a general supplier, and instead, we operate as an engineering partner that goes beyond supplying products. Our role is to source, modify and install gear that's actually matched to your process, not to supply off-the-shelf equipment and walk away. As a family-owned, Pakenham-based operation, we have worked in the Australian industrial equipment supply and fabrication industry for over 50 years, so you can trust our experience and knowledge of stainless steel equipment. Our team uses high-grade materials and tests each item against internal quality standards before it leaves the facility. If you're searching for 'as1210 pressure vessel' or something similar, this practical approach gives you one experienced supplier across equipment selection, fabrication, modification and installation.
We have new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks from 10 litres through to 100,000 litres, which means we can support pilot systems, large-scale industrial processing and milk silo applications. Configurations for these industrial water tanks include single skin, insulated, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, vertical and horizontal tanks in all grades of stainless steel, including food-grade 304 and 316. In line with this, our farm milk tanks can be set up around herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules. Meanwhile, chilled water and glycol cooling systems are available to support the cooling requirements of the site, whether your focus is on pasteurisers & cheese vats or other compatible equipment. From 7kW to 217kW, our air-cooled units also cover a broad capacity range, with custom-engineered options available for specific temperature range, flow rate and cooling capacity requirements. When a complete turn-key cooling solution is needed, stainless steel tanks, heat exchangers, chillers and a customised control panel are available as a coordinated package. This scope all under one roof isn't something most Australian suppliers can deliver. If you were searching for 'bspp pipe nipple' or '1 1 4 bsp pipe fittings', our refurbished stock inventory gives buyers a cost-effective alternative to new equipment without buying second-hand from other channels.
You can reach us by phone, email or by completing our website enquiry form with your specifications. This way, our team can provide you with a tailored quote rather than a generic price list. Before you order, we can help clarify capacity, configuration, stainless grade and cooling specifications if you are still working through your requirements. Also, our online size and specification guides are detailed and give you a starting point to compare configurations and shortlist suitable tanks before making contact. We deliver Australia-wide to make things convenient for you. Just remember that custom order lead times are driven by tank size, configuration and complexity, but we confirm timelines when we give you a quote. Site access conditions can also be factored in when our team coordinates transport, crane lifts, positioning and on-site placement. The same team that covers equipment supply also helps with electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring, so there's a single point of accountability across the entire process. If you've been curious about 'small water chiller' or 'male and female pipe fittings', know that we reduce the coordination burden and make it easier to get equipment delivered, positioned and ready for operation.
