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.

Getting equipment from delivery to operation can become complicated when several trades need to be coordinated. A supplier that only delivers the product leaves procurement and operations managers to absorb the installation risk on their own. In addition to this, downtime adds another concern when ageing equipment starts to underperform. A chiller that loses capacity or a worn tank can force your business to search for a qualified supplier, even if you don't have the time and resources to do so. These are the problems Barry Brown & Sons is set up to solve. Based in Pakenham and family-owned, we've been in Australian industrial equipment supply and fabrication for more than 50 years. Since 1970, we have been supplying stainless steel equipment, from tanks and industrial water chillers to fittings and custom fabrication. Across beverage, brewing, food, dairy, chemical and industrial processing sites, our team provides support as an engineering partner rather than a general supplier. You can rely on us to source, modify and install gear that is appropriate for your unique operation, and we take into account the needs of your site before recommending equipment. If you've been searching for 'chiller service company' or 'chiller distributors', our long-running presence lets you know that support will still be there after the equipment arrives.
Our stainless steel tanks are available for a range of operating environments, from milk storage, brewing and fermentation to specialist uses like 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. Every stage from design to completion can be handled through our custom fabrication process. We offer a range of capabilities, including pipe welding, CNC machining, TIG and MIG welding and orbital welding. Where replacement isn't necessary, tanks currently in operation may also be adapted with additional connections, outlets, inlets and agitators following an assessment. If you're interested in 'chiller service company', 'glycol chiller service Melbourne' or 'chiller vendors', know that we have a wide range of equipment and options to customise and modify.
To get started, you can reach out by phone, email or our website enquiry form and tell us about your unique requirements. However, don't worry if you haven't locked in every detail yet before contacting us. Our team can help you better understand capacity, configuration, stainless grade and cooling specifications before you finalise your order. Once the details are confirmed, our team delivers equipment across Australia and manages specialist crane transport for large and heavy items. The same team supplying your equipment can also handle electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring. One supplier handling the full scope means less coordination on your end and a single point of accountability from supply through to commissioning. When necessary for regional and remote operations, we can also bring in trusted local contractors to support delivery and reduce downtime on restricted-access sites. Every order goes through compatibility checks before dispatch to make sure the equipment will work with your existing site infrastructure. So, if you're looking up 'stainless steel union' or 'liquid cooled chiller', rest assured we cater to your unique needs, operations and site. Call (03) 5941 6111 today to learn about 'Milk pasteuriser for sale Australia', 'Pasteuriser' and more.
