Hose Tail

Off-the-shelf equipment doesn't always match what a processing site actually requires. 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. On top of that, industrial equipment shouldn't just be delivered to the site, but many procurement and operations teams find themselves handling installation and integration on their own after the supplier drops off the gear. 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. Sourcing, modifying and installing gear to suit your specific operation is what we do, not handing over catalogue items. 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 'hose tail' 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. No matter if you need configurations like insulated, single skin, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, vertical or horizontal, we can supply them in any stainless steel grade, including food-grade 304 and 316. 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 'stainless steel food grade drums' or 'chiller preventative maintenance' and need tailored equipment or design, you can turn to us for our custom fabrication service, from the design to the finished product. We offer CNC machining and assembly as well as orbital welding, pipe welding, and MIG and TIG welding, scaled to suit production runs or one-off projects.

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. 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. From electrical work and control panel setup to equipment integration and on-site wiring, our team can also handle other tasks beyond on-site placement as needed. When it comes to dairy operations, for instance, that might mean connecting existing pumps, pipelines and milking systems to milk tanks. Each order's compatibility with the existing site infrastructure is reviewed before delivery to minimise installation problems. Also, for regional or remote operations, we bring in trusted local contractors to manage delivery and reduce downtime when getting large equipment installed in locations with limited site access. Whether you're looking up 'mixing tank' or 'manufacturers of food processing equipment', you can turn to us for clear timelines provided during the quoting process.
