More About Equipment Used In Food Production

Suppliers that only handle delivery can leave you managing control specialists, electricians and installers separately, along with the risk of unexpected fit or integration issues. This additional coordination effort often pushes out production timelines and drives up expenses. Barry Brown & Sons has been helping Australian processing businesses avoid that situation since 1970 by supplying, fabricating and installing stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated items from our Pakenham facility. Rather than simply providing stainless steel equipment and other gear, we take a practical engineering approach, considering how each component will operate within your existing process before recommending a solution. Over 50 years of continuous operation have been underpinned by reliable offerings and industry knowledge across industrial processing, brewing, beverage, food, chemical and dairy applications. Whether you're looking up 'equipment used in food production' or 'equipment in food processing', you get to deal with experienced people who understand the demands of processing facilities and the value of getting specifications right from the outset. Equipment is verified against internal quality standards before dispatch, so what arrives on site is ready to move straight into the next stage of your project.

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. Designs are available in single skin, insulated, jacketed or dimple-jacketed configurations, oriented vertically or horizontally and manufactured from food-grade 304 or 316 stainless steel for hygienic processing requirements. When off-the-shelf equipment won't work, our custom fabrication capabilities include orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly for single or repeat production runs. 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 'equipment used in food production', 'equipment used in food processing' or 'storage tank fabrication'.

When one supplier covers equipment supply through to installation, you're not left dealing with different contractors or pursuing different points of responsibility during the project. Delivery, electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring are all managed by us, keeping your project under one team from the initial order through to a completed installation. We also deliver across Australia, and where large or heavy equipment requires specialist crane transport, we coordinate lifting, positioning and site placement around your operating requirements. We check compatibility with your existing infrastructure before the equipment leaves our facility, so unexpected problems during installation are less likely. When a custom-built system is involved, the size, configuration and fabrication requirements set the lead time, with realistic timelines provided at quotation so you can make plans with assurance. When you're interested in 'closed loop cooling system' or 'pipe fittings', 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 'custom stainless steel tanks' or 'chilled water buffer tank' has led you here, contact Barry Brown & Sons today to discuss your requirements.
