Great to talk to, happy to help
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.
Generic equipment that ticks every box on a specification sheet can still fall short of the requirements of your processing site. The application, existing infrastructure and operating conditions determine what's needed in terms of capacity, jacketing configuration, fittings layout and hygienic grade. Without that alignment, you end up absorbing avoidable cost and disruption through post-delivery modifications or accepting equipment that doesn't quite suit the application, and these could have been avoided before you placed the order. Fortunately, Barry Brown & Sons approaches stainless steel equipment supply from the site requirement first, drawing on more than 50 years of experience across dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing. Operating from Pakenham since 1970, we've worked with Australian operations needing equipment designed for their specific production conditions and not pulled from generic stock ranges. Where a standard configuration doesn't suit, our experience also extends to custom fabrication and modification. If you're searching for 'chiller loop', 'chiller' or other related topics, you can be confident that every order is backed by high-grade materials, skilled fabrication and internal quality testing before it leaves the facility. As a result, you're dealing with a supplier that draws on decades of hands-on knowledge across varied processing requirements for recommendations and applies quality control at every stage before equipment reaches an Australian industrial site.
Barry Brown & Sons supplies stainless steel tanks from 10 litres through to 100,000 litres in single skin, insulated, jacketed and dimple-jacketed construction. Stainless steel options also include vertical and horizontal configurations in different grades, such as 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. Instead of you sourcing supporting components as generic off-the-shelf parts, Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sprayballs, tube bends and tees can be specified as functional parts of the overall process system. 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. With capabilities covering orbital and pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly, tanks and associated processing equipment can be built to match the way your operation actually runs. If you're looking up 'chiller loop', 'air chiller machine' or 'air chiller plant', you can be confident that you can source equipment tailored to your specific capacity, materials and process requirements.
Your equipment specification doesn't need to be locked in before you get in touch with us. Barry Brown & Sons can assess capacity, tank configuration, stainless steel grade and cooling requirements with you, confirming the right fit for your process and existing site infrastructure before you place an order. Detailed size and specification guides are also available online to help you assess suitable configurations, so you can compare options before requesting a quote if you prefer. Once an order is placed, we verify that the equipment is compatible with your existing infrastructure before delivery so issues don't surface on site. We deliver Australia-wide, as well as coordinate specialist crane transport and positioning for large or heavy equipment when needed. Practical site conditions at regional or restricted-access operations are also factored into delivery arrangements. Because lead times for custom equipment depend on the size, configuration and fabrication requirements, we confirm the expected timeframe during the quoting stage so you can coordinate with production schedules and other site work. What's more, those looking into '1 stainless steel tee', 'fittings for stainless steel tubing' or something similar can provide their specifications and receive a tailored quote instead of a generic price list. If you've been searching for 'CIP solution' or 'Glycol chillers', fill out the enquiry form today to get started.
