There's more to getting equipment running than supply alone. Installation can become another responsibility for procurement and operations managers across dairy, chemical processing, food manufacturing and brewing when suppliers provide delivery without ongoing installation support. Delivery gets the equipment through the door, but integration remains yours to sort out, and any issue with the process is yours to handle. With this, Barry Brown & Sons goes beyond supplying units. Australian operations have relied on us for stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and custom fabrication since 1970. We take an engineering-led approach to supply, and our team evaluates your site's requirements before recommending any equipment. With decades of practical experience behind us, we source, modify and install equipment around the way your site actually operates. High-grade materials and skilled fabricators are used for all stainless steel equipment orders, which means we keep quality control as part of the process. If you've searched for 'hot water chiller' or 'cip and sip', each item is tested against internal quality standards before it leaves our facility. As a family-owned operation based locally in Pakenham, our long-standing presence and track record also mean you can continue to get support even after we've delivered your order.
Our range can support pilot batch processing, large-scale industrial processing and milk silo applications, as we provide stainless steel tanks in new and custom-built options. Whether you require industrial water tanks or other applications, capacities range from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, while available configurations include single skin, insulated, vertical and horizontal tanks, with stainless steel grades including food-grade 304 and 316. These options can be used for fermentation and brewing, food processing for sauces, ingredients and prepared foods and dairy milk storage that may be helpful for those who work with pasteurisers & cheese vats. If you need industrial water or farm milk tanks, we also have custom fabrication that covers the full process from design to finished product. Our custom fabrication covers one-off jobs and production runs, and we offer orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding as well as CNC machining and assembly. Subject to assessment, we can modify tanks already in service instead of replacing them by adding inlets, outlets, agitators and connections. For a cost-effective route, our refurbished stock is also worth considering when sourcing equipment for your site. Whether you were searching for 'hot water chiller', 'process refrigeration' or 'dairy pipework installation', each item is assessed for structural integrity, operational suitability and compliance before listing.
You know exactly who's accountable at every stage when one supplier covers equipment supply right through to commissioning. Delivery, electrical work, on-site wiring and control panel setup can all be coordinated through Barry Brown & Sons, removing the need to manage multiple contractors yourself for each stage. For large or heavy equipment, we organise specialist crane transport and review site access and positioning requirements before dispatch, and we deliver all over Australia. Compatibility checks are completed before delivery to confirm the equipment will work with your existing infrastructure. For custom orders, we also clarify expected timelines during the quoting process. If you've been searching for 'chiller for milk cooling', 'milk vat for sale' or other topics for solutions, you can start by providing your specifications by phone, email or through the website enquiry form, and the team will respond with a quote based on your actual requirements rather than a generic price list. And if you've been interested in 'Clean in place system' and 'Where to buy propylene glycol' but are worried about location, rest assured that we can bring in trusted local contractors when getting large equipment installed in locations with limited site access to reduce downtime. Get in touch with us now to talk through your specific requirements.
