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.

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.
When a supplier's obligations end at delivery, it becomes your responsibility to get new equipment up and running. A tank or chiller may arrive to specification, but you can still be left to deal with the integration of your equipment while resolving anything that doesn't fit the site as expected. This adds to the workload for your operations team and makes it more difficult to determine who is responsible, particularly when multiple contractors are involved. Barry Brown & Sons takes a broader view of industrial stainless steel equipment supply, backed by more than 50 years of continuous operation in Australia. Based in Pakenham, our family-owned business has fabricated, supplied and installed high-grade stainless steel tanks, industrial chillers and associated equipment since 1970. From dairy, food manufacturing and beverage to brewing, chemical and broader industrial processing, our experience applies to all sectors where equipment has to perform under real production demands. Before recommending any solution, we work with you as an engineering partner to establish what your operation actually needs instead of just supplying equipment. If you've been looking up 'beer chiller system' or 'beer chiller', know that quality control is also built into our operations, with skilled fabricators using high-grade materials and every item tested against internal quality standards before it leaves the facility.
Barry Brown & Sons supplies stainless steel tanks from 10 litres through to 100,000 litres in single skin, insulated, jacketed and dimple-jacketed construction. Vertical and horizontal configurations are also available across stainless steel grades, including food-grade 304 and 316. For dairy operations, farm milk tanks can be configured around herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules, with chilled water or glycol cooling incorporated where required. The equipment range also extends to pasteurisers & cheese vats for industrial dairy processing and smaller artisanal production. Supporting components such as Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sprayballs, tube bends and tees can be specified as functional parts of the wider process system, rather than being sourced separately as generic hardware. If standard equipment does not suit your operations, custom fabrication for industrial water tanks and other equipment offers the flexibility to accommodate non-standard dimensions, connections or process requirements. Orbital and pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly mean tanks and associated processing equipment can be tailored more closely to your operation's practical requirements. If you're looking up 'beer chiller system', 'chilled glycol system' or 'brewery chiller', you can be confident that you can source equipment tailored to your specific capacity, materials and process requirements.
Working with one supplier from equipment supply through to installation removes the need to coordinate multiple contractors and chase separate points of responsibility when your project is underway. Delivery, electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring are all managed by us, keeping your project under one team from the initial order through to a completed installation. Plus, we offer Australia-wide delivery, which includes specialist crane transport for large or heavy equipment, with lifting, positioning and site placement coordinated to suit your operating conditions. Before we dispatch the equipment, we do compatibility checks to confirm it will integrate with your existing infrastructure, helping reduce the likelihood of unexpected issues during installation. Lead times for custom-built systems vary with size, configuration and fabrication requirements; we establish realistic timelines during the quotation process so you can plan with greater confidence. When you're interested in 'fabrication of tanks' or 'male and female pipe fittings', you can contact us by phone, via email or through the website enquiry form with your specifications, and we'll provide a tailored quote that reflects your application. If your search for 'Custom stainless steel fabrication' or 'Pasteuriser' has led you here, contact Barry Brown & Sons today to discuss your requirements.
