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.

Off-the-shelf equipment doesn't always match what a processing site actually requires. When there's a mismatch between the application and the fitting layout, hygienic grade, tank capacity or jacket configuration, an operation may face unnecessary downtime or costly rework. And installation and integration of industrial equipment may fall on the procurement and operations teams after the supplier drops off the products, even though they shouldn't just be delivered to the site. Barry Brown & Sons has supplied, installed and fabricated stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated processing equipment across Australia since 1970. Rather than simply supplying products like general suppliers, we create engineering collaborations with every client. Our role is to source, modify and install gear that's actually matched to your process, not to supply off-the-shelf equipment and walk away. As a family-owned, Pakenham-based operation, we have worked in the Australian industrial equipment supply and fabrication industry for over 50 years, so you can trust our experience and knowledge of stainless steel equipment. We use high-grade materials, and before anything leaves the facility, our team tests it to verify that it meets internal quality standards. If you're searching for 'electric milk pasteurizer' or something similar, this practical approach gives you one experienced supplier across equipment selection, fabrication, modification and installation.
From compact 10-litre units through to 100,000-litre systems, we supply new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks for pilot systems, industrial processing lines and milk silo applications. Single skin, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, insulated, vertical and horizontal configurations are included in our range and span all stainless steel grades, including food-grade 304 and 316. These industrial water tanks can support applications in fermentation and brewing as well as chemical and corrosive environments. Our options can help with dairy milk storage as well. For those who are interested in farm milk tanks, these options can be configured to align with herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules, including chilled water and glycol cooling systems. For this type of processing, we also have pasteurisers & cheese vats available for supply and installation in both industrial operations and artisanal production. Control panels can be supplied for automation, temperature control and equipment integration. We can also support process tank systems through fittings and accessories like Tri-Clover fittings, sample taps, tube bends, BSP and BSM connectors and tees. Instead of getting general hardware, you can get specific components supplied here as part of a wider setup, whether you're curious about 'pasteurizer machine for sale' or 'goat milk pasteurizer machine'.
You can provide your specifications by phone, email or enquiry form when you're ready to get started, and the team will put together a tailored quote rather than a generic price list. When you're still working out the requirements, our team discusses various details before you order, such as tank capacity, stainless steel grade, configuration, cooling requirements and installation conditions. Australia-wide shipping is also available, and we'll handle delivery logistics for your convenience once your equipment is ready. Where large or heavy equipment is involved, we include specialist crane transport, positioning and placement on site. From electrical work and control panel setup to equipment integration and on-site wiring, our team can also handle other tasks beyond on-site placement as needed. On dairy sites, for instance, this can cover the integration of milk tanks with existing milking systems, pumps and pipelines. To reduce installation issues, the team assesses how each order fits with your current site infrastructure before anything ships. For remote or regional operations with limited site access, we also coordinate with trusted local contractors to handle delivery and reduce delays in the installation of large equipment. Whether you're looking up 'food processing equipment' or '316 ss tube', you can turn to us for clear timelines provided during the quoting process. If you've been interested in 'Process tank' or 'Fabricate stainless steel', call us at (03) 5941 6111 to learn more.
