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.

Industrial stainless steel equipment needs to match the process, site and existing infrastructure, not simply arrive at the loading dock. When suppliers leave installation, integration and technical issues to be resolved by the buyer, procurement and operations teams often deal with unexpected coordination. When ageing chillers or worn tanks experience reduced capacity or equipment failure, production interruptions can create additional pressure. Barry Brown & Sons takes a practical approach by reviewing what the operation needs before recommending solutions. Since 1970, our family-owned Pakenham business has fabricated, supplied and installed stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated equipment across a range of processing industries in Australia. Capacity, jacketing configuration, fittings layout, cooling requirements and operating conditions all factor into how we assess each application. By using this process, there's less chance of choosing standard equipment that requires extensive modification after delivery. Across each order, skilled fabricators use high-grade materials, while finished equipment is tested against internal quality requirements before the fabrications are dispatched. When you're researching 'chiller cooling system' or 'chiller for water' to find tailored options, we've supported food, dairy, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial operations, so you can rest easy knowing you're working with an experienced supplier that understands both the equipment and its intended application.
We can supply you with new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, with our range being able to support pilot systems, large-scale industrial processing and milk silo applications. Whether you require industrial water tanks or other types of steel tanks, we offer single skin, insulated, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, vertical and horizontal configurations that cover all stainless steel grades, including food-grade 304 and 316. Such equipment can be used as farm milk tanks, but they can also support fermentation and brewing, as well as food processing for sauces, ingredients and prepared foods. And rather than replacing existing tanks, upgrading them may be a viable option once we've carried out an assessment. Modifications, including agitators, inlets, outlets and connections, are possible where the existing equipment supports them. If you're comparing cost options, we also carry a collection of refurbished stainless steel tanks and chillers, which can be suitable for operations that deal with pasteurisers & cheese vats. We check each item for structural integrity, operational suitability and compliance before it's listed, giving you a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new equipment. Whether you're looking up 'chiller cooling system', 'chilled water package' or 'commercial water cooling system', rest assured that we present you with various options, be it industrial tanks, chillers and cooling systems, or supporting products and systems.
Getting started is straightforward; you can contact us by phone, email or the website enquiry form and provide your specifications. Rather than giving you a generic price list, our team will provide you with a customised quote based on the equipment you need. Using the extensive size and specification guides that are accessible online, you can also compare configurations and narrow down suitable tank options prior to making contact. Every order goes through compatibility checks before delivery to confirm the equipment will integrate with your existing site infrastructure. Tank size, configuration and complexity all influence lead times for custom orders, but you'll have a confirmed timeline once the quote is issued. When a project is in a regional or remote area, local contractors we trust may also be engaged to assist if needed. This allows them to assist with delivery and minimise downtime when large equipment must be installed in areas with restricted site access. When you're learning more about 'pipe fittings supplier' or 'industrial food machinery', working with one supplier can make the installation process easier to manage. Should you have questions or concerns related to 'CIP solution' or 'Liquid cooling chiller', you have one point of accountability from supply to commissioning with Barry Brown & Sons, so reach out to us today to discuss your requirements.
