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.

Off-the-shelf equipment isn't always suited to a processing site's specific needs. The right capacity, jacketing configuration, fittings layout and hygienic grade should align with your operation. Any misalignment may mean compromised performance or paying for modifications once the equipment arrives. This is where Barry Brown & Sons comes in to help. Since 1970, we have been supplying Australian businesses with stainless steel equipment, including stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and custom fabrication. With over 50 years of experience across dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial operations, we start by understanding your requirements before suggesting the right equipment based on your site and application. Every order uses high-grade materials and skilled fabricators to support consistent quality control and give you more peace of mind. On top of this, every item is tested against internal quality standards before it leaves our facility. We're a family-owned business based in Pakenham, with a focus on providing ongoing support when you need it. So, whether you're searching for 'chilled water system design' or 'high pressure pasteurization machine', you can trust that you'll be working with a team that continues to support you beyond the initial purchase.
Barry Brown & Sons supplies new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks from 10 litres through to 100,000 litres, giving you options for everything from pilot systems all the way to large-scale industrial processing and milk silo applications. Construction options include single skin, insulated, jacketed or dimple-jacketed vessels, available in vertical or horizontal configurations to suit your process and site needs. Our tanks, including industrial water tanks, are available across all 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. Our custom fabrication service covers non-standard requirements when a standard configuration isn't suitable for the application. Beyond the vessel itself, our equipment scope also lets us supply industrial water and glycol chillers in air-cooled capacities ranging from 7kW to 217kW. We similarly custom-engineer cooling systems sized to your exact temperature range, flow rate requirements and cooling capacity. The dairy processing range includes pasteurisers & cheese vats for industrial and artisanal production, with control panels available for automation, temperature control and equipment integration as part of a complete system. Whether you're looking up 'chilled water system design', '10 kw chiller' or 'stainless steel fittings wollongong', you can look to us for a suitable solution.
Getting a system operational shouldn't mean handling separate contractors for equipment supply, transport, commissioning and beyond. We can manage these requirements through one team, giving you a single point of accountability from supply through to a finished installation. We deliver throughout Australia, with us having specialist crane transport available for large or heavy equipment, along with transport, lifting, positioning and on-site placement coordinated to match your access requirements. Before equipment is dispatched for delivery, we perform compatibility checks to confirm that it can integrate with the existing infrastructure, reducing the risk of issues appearing during installation. Electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring are also covered by the same team, keeping accountability under one point of contact throughout project progression. For custom equipment, lead times are based on tank size, configuration and complexity, with us confirming expected timelines as part of every quote. Those interested in 'stainless steel pipe fittings', 'stainless steel fabrication dandenong' and related topics can contact the team with their specifications via phone, email or through the website enquiry form, and we will prepare a tailored quote. Call us now at (03) 5941 6111 to discuss your requirements, ask us about 'Water cooled water chiller' or 'Process tank', or learn more about our services.
