Off-the-shelf equipment isn't always suited to a processing site's specific needs. Capacity, jacketing configuration, fittings layout and hygienic grade all need to align with your operation. A poor fit may mean either compromising on performance or spending more to modify the equipment after it's delivered. Here's where Barry Brown & Sons can help. Since 1970, we have been supplying Australian businesses with stainless steel equipment, including stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and custom fabrication. Across more than 50 years supporting dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial operations, we've made the effort to understand customers' requirements before recommending the right equipment for their site and application. High-grade materials and skilled fabricators are used across every order to support consistent quality control and give you more peace of mind. And before any item leaves our facility, it's tested against our internal quality standards. As a family-owned business based in Pakenham, we focus on providing ongoing support when you need it. So, whether you're searching for 'chiller machine parts' or 'stainless steel fittings Melbourne', you can trust that you'll be working with a team that continues to support you beyond the initial purchase.
Barry Brown & Sons supplies stainless steel tanks, chillers and process equipment for applications ranging from pilot production to large industrial systems. The tank range includes capacities from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, with new, refurbished and custom-built options available in different configurations. We also fabricate food-grade 304 and 316 stainless steel equipment, including farm milk tanks and storage, fermentation and brewing, and food processing. Industrial air-cooled water and glycol chillers are available in options from 7kW to 217kW, while specific cooling loads, temperature ranges and flow rates can be matched with custom systems. Apart from tanks, heat exchangers, chillers and custom control panels, we can integrate these components into one coordinated system. We offer orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly services for one-off and production jobs, such as fabricating industrial water tanks. If you're browsing for 'chiller machine parts', existing tanks can also receive agitators, inlets, outlets and connections after assessment. On the other hand, if you need supporting products for your systems, we can provide Tri-Clover fittings, butterfly valves, pasteurisers & cheese vats, sprayballs and more. In addition, even if your research involves 'chiller parts' or 'powder silo stainless steel', we offer a cost-conscious alternative via our refurbished inventory, with each unit assessed before listing.
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. The team can help review capacity, tank configuration and site conditions if you're still working through the requirements ahead of placing an order. You can also review our online size and specification guides to compare tank options before reaching out. Australia-wide delivery can be coordinated after you confirm the equipment, including 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. For dairy installations, this can include connecting milk tanks to existing pumps, pipelines and milking systems, along with the required plumbing and electrical work. You can be assured that we review equipment compatibility against the existing site infrastructure ahead of delivery. If you're searching for 'mixing tank' or 'closed loop cooling system' 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 'Clean in place system' or 'Fabricate stainless steel' without hassle. Reach out to us to discuss your requirements now.
