Great to talk to, happy to help
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.
Off-the-shelf equipment does not always meet the specific requirements of a processing site. Capacity, jacketing configuration, fittings layout and hygienic grade all need to align with your operation. Where these don't line up, you may face compromised performance or additional costs to modify the equipment after delivery. This is where Barry Brown & Sons can assist. Since 1970, we have been supplying Australian businesses with stainless steel equipment, including stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and custom fabrication. With over 50 years of experience across dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial operations, we start by understanding your requirements before suggesting the right equipment based on your site and application. Every order uses high-grade materials and skilled fabricators to support consistent quality control and give you more peace of mind. In addition, no item leaves our facility without first being tested against internal quality standards. Being based in Pakenham and family-owned, we focus on providing ongoing support when you need it. So, whether you're searching for 'dairy manufacturing equipment' or 'dairy equipment', you can trust that you'll be working with a team that continues to support you beyond the initial purchase.
Process type, available space and production capacity all influence what you need in terms of equipment, which is why the range has to go well beyond standard specifications. We supply new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks from 10 litres through to 100,000 litres, supporting everything from pilot-scale development to large industrial processing and milk silo applications. The range includes specialised farm milk tanks designed to meet the demands of dairy operations, alongside industrial water tanks used across a variety of processing applications. Vertical or horizontal configurations are available across single skin, insulated, jacketed and dimple-jacketed designs, each manufactured from food-grade 304 or 316 stainless steel for hygienic applications. Where standard equipment is not suitable, custom fabrication covers orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly for one-off or ongoing production requirements. For dairy processors, we also supply and install pasteurisers & cheese vats suitable for both large-scale industrial production and smaller artisanal operations. Supporting components, including Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sprayballs, butterfly valves, sample taps, tube bends and tees, are available as well, so you can turn to us, no matter if you're searching for 'dairy manufacturing equipment', 'water circulation chiller' or 'dairy production equipment'.
Having one supplier manage equipment supply and installation means you're not left coordinating between multiple contractors or sorting out divided responsibility once work begins. Our team covers delivery, electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring, so you deal with one point of contact from the initial purchase through to final installation. Plus, we offer Australia-wide delivery, which includes specialist crane transport for large or heavy equipment, with lifting, positioning and site placement coordinated to suit your operating conditions. Compatibility checks are carried out before dispatch to confirm the equipment will integrate with your existing infrastructure and reduce the risk of installation issues. Lead times for custom-built systems vary with size, configuration and fabrication requirements; we establish realistic timelines during the quotation process so you can plan with confidence. When you're interested in 'cheese vats' or 'pipe fitting', you can contact us by phone, via email or through the website enquiry form with your specifications, and we'll provide a tailored quote that reflects your application. If your search for 'glycol' or 'stainless steel fabrication near me' has led you here, contact Barry Brown & Sons today to discuss your requirements.
