More About Beer Tank

Processing sites have specific requirements that off-the-shelf equipment doesn't always meet. An operation risks expensive modifications and unnecessary downtime when there are mismatches with the jacket configuration, fitting layout, tank capacity or hygienic grade you've chosen for the application. Additionally, industrial equipment shouldn't just arrive on site, but plenty of procurement and operations teams end up managing installation and integration on their own once the supplier delivers the products. Since 1970, Barry Brown & Sons has fabricated, supplied and installed stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated processing equipment across Australia. Rather than simply supplying products like general suppliers, we create engineering collaborations with every client. We'll work with you to source, modify and install gear that actually works for your operation, not just provide equipment off the shelf. 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. We use high-grade materials, and before anything leaves the facility, our team tests it to verify that it meets internal quality standards. If you're searching for 'beer tank' or something similar, this practical approach gives you one experienced supplier across equipment selection, fabrication, modification and installation.

From compact 10-litre units through to 100,000-litre systems, we supply new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks for pilot systems, industrial processing lines and milk silo applications. Our collection covers single skin, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, insulated, vertical and horizontal configurations in all stainless steel grades, such as food-grade 304 and 316. These industrial water tanks can support applications in fermentation and brewing as well as chemical and corrosive environments. Our options can help with dairy milk storage as well. For those who are interested in farm milk tanks, these options can be configured to align with herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules, including chilled water and glycol cooling systems. For this type of processing, we also have pasteurisers & cheese vats available for supply and installation in both industrial operations and artisanal production. There are control panels for temperature control, automation and equipment integration. Process tank systems can also be supported by fittings and accessories such as Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sample taps, tube bends and tees. Instead of getting general hardware, you can get specific components supplied here as part of a wider setup, whether you're curious about 'glycol chiller rental' or 'brewery tanks'.

At Barry Brown & Sons, you're provided with more than just a standard price list. Simply call, email or submit the website enquiry form with your specifications, and our team will have a tailored quote ready. You can even make contact before knowing every detail, as we can help you work through capacity, configuration, stainless grade and cooling specifications before you order. But should you want to plan ahead before discussing with us, our detailed size and specification guides are available online so you can compare configurations and narrow down ideal tank options. Once you've finalised your order, we'll deliver your equipment to your operations anywhere in Australia. Our team can even handle transport, positioning and on-site placement given your site access conditions, which includes specialist crane transport for large or heavy items. Your order can likewise be coordinated to include electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring, which means you can have one point of accountability, from researching 'Fabricate stainless steel' or 'Liquid cooling chiller' for equipment supply to commissioning. Before delivery, every order also includes compatibility checks to make sure the equipment will integrate with the current site infrastructure. So, whether you were searching for 'cip skid manufacturers' or 'pasteurisation machine', contact us today to discuss your requirements.
