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.

You may end up with extra work when a generalist supplier understands only the product but not your processing environment. In the market for stainless steel tanks and chillers in Australia, that typically means the supplier's involvement ends with equipment delivery, and integration is now yours to figure out. With our units and industry knowledge, Barry Brown & Sons is here to provide the support you need. We've been serving Australian operations since 1970, supplying, installing and fabricating stainless steel equipment, including tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and custom equipment. Our dedicated team's approach goes beyond product supply and is grounded in engineering partnership, leveraging expertise across dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing. Our practical experience in modification, sourcing and installation comes into play once we've established what your site actually needs, informing our recommendations to you. Our family-owned business based in Pakenham has more than 50 years of experience in Australian industrial equipment supply and fabrication. If you've been interested in 'chiller for industrial use', 'chiller for sale' and beyond, our long-term presence can help provide you with assurance that you won't be left unsupported. Each product is thoroughly tested before being dispatched from our facility, and we stay involved long after it's been supplied.
Our stainless steel tanks can be matched to different operating environments, including milk storage, fermentation and brewing, and specialist applications such as ice baths and heat recovery. For dairy sites, farm milk tanks are built from food-grade 304 stainless steel and can be customised around herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules. To match options like pasteurisers & cheese vats, we also have chilled water, glycol cooling and air-cooled units from 7kW to 217kW. For a complete cooling setup, stainless steel tanks, heat exchangers, chillers and a customised control panel can be supplied together as one coordinated package. Custom-engineered systems are also available if your site needs a specific cooling capacity, temperature range or flow rate, whether for industrial water tanks or other equipment. Custom fabrication can cover the full process from design through to the finished product. We provide a range of capabilities, including pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, orbital welding and CNC machining. Existing tanks may also be adapted rather than replaced, with agitators, inlets, outlets and connections added to equipment already in service (subject to assessment). If you're interested in 'chiller for industrial use', 'air cooled chiller manufacturer' or 'chiller for water tank', know that we have a wide range of equipment and options to customise and modify.
Get started by contacting Barry Brown & Sons by phone, email or through our website enquiry form. Next, we'll go through your equipment requirements and send a tailored quote. Before you place an order, our team can work through requirements such as capacity, tank configuration and site conditions with you if you're still finalising the details. Our website includes size and specification guides that let you compare tank options before making an enquiry. After the equipment is confirmed, we can coordinate delivery across Australia, with specialist crane transport, lifting, positioning, and on-site placement for large or heavy units. Electrical work, control panel setup, on-site wiring and system integration can also be managed by our team, giving you one point of contact from supply through to commissioning. With dairy installations, for example, we can connect milk tanks to existing pumps, pipelines and milking systems, including the required plumbing and electrical work. Equipment compatibility with the existing site infrastructure is reviewed before delivery, so you can feel confident. If you're searching for 'y strainer stainless steel' or 'stainless steel fittings Melbourne' in regional or restricted-access locations, the team can coordinate trusted local contractors where required as well. We confirm lead times when providing quotes for custom orders, so you can enquire about 'Where to buy propylene glycol' or 'Thermal energy storage solutions' without hassle. Get in touch today to go through your requirements with us.
