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.

Getting equipment operational often means coordinating more than one trade, and the challenge does not always end when the product arrives. If your supplier only covers delivery, installation risks may fall back on a procurement and operations manager. The equipment may come from one source, but you may still need someone else to lead the integration. That's where Barry Brown & Sons comes in to help with these issues. We've supplied stainless steel equipment like tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and custom fabrication to Australian operations since 1970. Our business has reliable gear that supports food, dairy, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing sites. We're a family-owned business based in Pakenham, with more than 50 years of experience in Australian industrial equipment supply and fabrication. We do not act as a generalist supplier, as we take time to work through what each site needs before giving recommendations. Where equipment may just supply gear off the shelf, our team can bring hands-on experience to sourcing, modifying and installing gear aligned with your operations. That continuity gives you confidence knowing that you won't be left unsupported in your overall search for 'heat recovery system' and beyond. Quality control is built into the process as well, with every item tested against internal standards before leaving the facility.
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. The range includes single skin, insulated, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, vertical and horizontal configurations across 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. In addition to this, our options can help with dairy milk storage. 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. Fittings and accessories, like Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sample taps, tube bends and tees, can also support process tank systems. Instead of getting general hardware, you can get specific components supplied here as part of a wider setup, whether you're curious about 'heat recovery unit' or 'fermenter cooling jacket'.
Barry Brown & Sons makes it so you get more than just a standard price list. Simply let us know your specifications by calling, emailing or using our website enquiry form so that our team can prepare a tailored quote. You don't even need to know every detail before making contact, as we can help you work through capacity, configuration, stainless grade and cooling specifications before you order. With that being said, you can plan ahead before talking to us by using our detailed size and specification guides online to compare configurations and narrow down suitable tank offerings. After you finalise your order, we'll ship your equipment to your operations anywhere in Australia. Based on site access conditions, our team can even manage transport, positioning and on-site placement, including specialist crane transport for large or heavy items. Your order can likewise be coordinated to include electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring, which means you can have one point of accountability, from researching 'Stainless fabrication' or 'CIP solution' for equipment supply to commissioning. Every order also includes compatibility checks to ensure that the equipment will integrate with the existing site infrastructure before delivery. So, whether you were searching for 'tank level indicator' or '1 stainless steel tee', contact us today to discuss your requirements.
