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.
Not every processing site can make off-the-shelf equipment work for its actual requirements. 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 industrial equipment shouldn't just arrive on site, but when it comes to installation and integration, the work too often falls back on procurement and operations teams once the supplier delivers the products. Barry Brown & Sons has been fabricating, supplying and installing products across Australia since 1970, and that includes stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and related processing equipment. Going beyond supplying products, we're committed to creating engineering partnerships that separate us from general suppliers. Rather than shipping off-the-shelf systems and moving on, we source, modify and install what your operation actually needs. 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 in and knowledge of stainless steel equipment. Our team uses high-grade materials and tests each item against internal quality standards before it leaves the facility. If you're searching for 'food equipment suppliers' or something similar, this practical approach gives you one experienced supplier across equipment selection, fabrication, modification and installation.
At Barry Brown & Sons, we supply a wide range of stainless steel tanks, including new, refurbished and custom-built units from 10 litres to 100,000 litres. From pilot systems to large processing vessels and milk silos, we've got it covered. Across all stainless steel grades, including food-grade 304 and 316, you can choose from various configurations including vertical, horizontal, single skin, insulated, jacketed or dimple-jacketed. For dairy milk storage, we can also supply farm milk tanks, configured to match herd size, milking frequency, flow rates and collection schedules. On the other hand, we offer industrial water tanks and glycol chillers, with air-cooled units from 7kW to 217kW, along with custom-engineered systems designed around your required cooling capacity, temperature range and flow rate. As for supporting equipment, our range includes Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sprayballs, butterfly valves, sample taps, tube bends and tees, as well as pasteurisers & cheese vats. In case you're researching 'food equipment manufacturers near me' or '20 gallon stainless steel tank' and need tailored equipment or design, you can turn to us for our custom fabrication service, from the design to the finished product. Our team can provide orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly, whether it's a one-off job or a production line.
To get started, call, email or submit an enquiry form with your specifications, and the team will prepare a tailored quote, not just forward a generic price list. When you're still working out the requirements, our team discusses various details before you order, such as capacity, stainless steel grade, configuration, cooling and installation conditions. As soon as equipment is done with fabrication, we also ship to anywhere in Australia and coordinate delivery for your convenience. This includes specialist crane transport, positioning and on-site placement for large or heavy equipment. Aside from on-site placement, our team can also work on equipment integration, electrical work, control panel installation and on-site wiring. When it comes to dairy operations, for instance, that might mean connecting existing pumps, pipelines and milking systems to milk tanks. 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 'conical fermenter stainless steel' or 'stainless steel union', you can turn to us for clear timelines provided during the quoting process. If you've been interested in '45 degree stainless steel elbow' or 'fluid cooling system', call us at (03) 5941 6111 to learn more.
