Getting equipment operational often means coordinating more than one trade, and the challenge does not always end when the product arrives. When a supplier stops at delivery, it's generally the procurement and operations manager who deals with the installation risks. The equipment may come from one source, but you may still need someone else to lead the integration. Barry Brown & Sons is here to assist with these problems. We've supplied stainless steel equipment like tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and custom fabrication to Australian operations since 1970. With reliable gear, our business can support food, dairy, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing sites. Our family-owned, Pakenham-based business has been in Australian industrial equipment supply and fabrication for more than 5 decades. We do not act as a generalist supplier, as we take time to work through what each site needs before giving recommendations. While others may just supply equipment off the shelf, our team provides hands-on experience in sourcing, modifying and installing gear that matches the operation. That continuity gives you confidence knowing that you won't be left unsupported in your overall search for 'conical fermenter stainless steel' and beyond. What's more, quality control is built into the process since every item is tested against internal standards before it leaves the facility.
Barry Brown & Sons provides a vast array of equipment, ranging from custom fabrication to tanks and chillers. New, refurbished and custom-built options from 10 litres to 100,000 litres make up our tank range, with multiple configurations available and food-grade 304 and 316 stainless steel among the grades on offer. The applications for this range of equipment can include farm milk tanks and storage, as well as brewing and fermentation and chemical handling. Our industrial air-cooled water and glycol chillers cover capacities from 7kW to 217kW, and custom systems can be built to suit specific flow rate, temperature and cooling demands. As one of the few Australian suppliers offering this scope under one supplier, we can also combine industrial water tanks, heat exchangers, chillers and control panels into a single coordinated system. Our in-house fabrication service covers orbital, pipe, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly, and existing tanks can even be modified after assessment. No matter if you're browsing for 'stainless steel fermenter Australia' and '20000 litre stainless steel tank', our supporting products and systems also include Tri-Clover fittings, butterfly valves, sprayballs, pasteurisers & cheese vats, with options for control panels. What's more, buyers looking for a cost-effective alternative to new equipment will appreciate our refurbished stock inventory of stainless steel tanks and chillers, with each unit assessed before listing.
You can contact us by phone, by email or by filling out our website enquiry form with your specifications. This way, our team can provide you with a tailored quote rather than a generic price list. Should you still be figuring out your requirements, we can support you by clarifying capacity, configuration, stainless grade and cooling specifications before you buy. Also, our online size and specification guides are detailed and give you a starting point to compare configurations and shortlist suitable tanks before making contact. You can enjoy convenience as we deliver Australia-wide. Just take note that lead times for custom orders will vary depending on tank size, configuration and complexity, with timelines confirmed during quoting. Site access conditions can also be factored in when our team coordinates transport, crane lifts, positioning and on-site placement. With the same people supplying the equipment and assisting with electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring, you get a single point of accountability throughout. If you've been curious about 'weld in fittings' or 'propylene glycol coolant', know that we reduce the coordination burden and make it easier to get equipment delivered, positioned and ready for operation. To learn more about 'Stainless fabrication' and 'Liquid cooling chiller', contact Barry Brown & Sons to discuss your requirements now.
