Glycol Refrigeration

Processing sites have specific requirements that off-the-shelf equipment doesn't always meet. If tank fitting layout, capacity, jacket configuration or hygienic grade don't match the application, costly modifications and avoidable downtime are likely to follow. 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 supplied, installed and fabricated stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated processing equipment across Australia since 1970. We're not a general supplier, and instead, we operate as an engineering partner that goes beyond supplying products. 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 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 'glycol refrigeration' 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. Whether it's a pilot system, a large processing application or a milk silo, we supply tanks across the entire range. 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 'glycol refrigeration system' or 'glycol for chilled water systems' and need tailored equipment or design, you can turn to us for our custom fabrication service, from the design to the finished product. Capabilities include pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, orbital welding, CNC machining and assembly, for both one-off jobs and production runs.

You can share your specifications via phone, email or enquiry form to get started, and the team will return a quote built around your project, not a one-size-fits-all price list. Before you place an order, we can help you settle on tank capacity, configuration, stainless steel grade, cooling needs and installation conditions if you still aren't sure about your requirements. As soon as equipment is done with fabrication, we also ship to anywhere in Australia and coordinate delivery for your convenience. 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. 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. 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 'fabrication welding' or 'equipment in food processing', you can turn to us for clear timelines provided during the quoting process.
