Food Machinery

What a processing site actually requires and what comes off the shelf don't always match. You may face avoidable downtime and costly rework if you get the jacket configuration, fitting layout, tank capacity and hygienic grade for the application wrong. 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. Since 1970, Barry Brown & Sons has fabricated, supplied and installed stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated processing equipment across Australia. Our approach as an engineering partner allows us to go beyond product supply, setting us apart from general suppliers. Instead of delivering generic systems, we help match what your operation actually requires, sourcing, modifying and installing the right systems. 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 machinery' 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. We cover everything from pilot systems to large processing and milk silo applications. We've got various configurations across all stainless steel grades, including food-grade 304 and 316, offering single skin, insulated, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, vertical or horizontal setups. 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 factory machines' or 'food processing equipment Australia' and need tailored equipment or design, you can turn to us for our custom fabrication service, from the design to the finished product. From orbital welding, pipe welding, and MIG and TIG welding to CNC machining and assembly, our team can provide these services for single units or full production lines.

You can email, call or submit an enquiry form detailing what you need to get started, and instead of a generic price sheet, you'll receive a quote tailored to your specifications. 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. For your convenience, once fabrication is complete, we can also coordinate Australia-wide delivery. Large or heavy equipment can be shipped through specialist crane transport, positioned and placed on site as part of the delivery. Where required, the same crew that handles on-site placement can also take on control panel setup, electrical work, on-site wiring and equipment integration. Connecting milk tanks to existing pumps, pipelines and milking systems is an example in dairy installations. Before delivery, the team checks each order's compatibility with the existing site infrastructure to reduce installation issues. Trusted local contractors are also brought in to manage delivery and get large equipment installed with minimal downtime, particularly in a regional or remote location with limited site access. Whether you're looking up 'industrial food machinery' or 'stainless steel fabrication dandenong', you can turn to us for clear timelines provided during the quoting process.
