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.

Making equipment operational usually means coordinating multiple trades, and the challenge does not always finish when the product arrives. When a supplier stops at delivery, it's generally the procurement and operations manager who deals with the installation risks. You may have secured the equipment from one place but still need to find someone else to oversee 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. Based in Pakenham and family-owned, we have spent more than 50 years in Australian industrial equipment supply and fabrication. Rather than taking a generalist supplier approach, we work through each site's requirements before making recommendations. While others may just supply equipment off the shelf, our team provides hands-on experience in sourcing, modifying and installing gear that matches the operation. That continuity gives you confidence knowing that you won't be left unsupported in your overall search for 'industrial cooling system' and beyond. Quality control is built into the process as well, with every item tested against internal standards before leaving the facility.
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. Applications range from pilot systems through to large-scale processing and milk silo installations. You can specify single skin, insulated, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, vertical or horizontal configurations across all stainless steel grades, 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 'industrial liquid cooling system' or 'stainless steel y pipe fitting' 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.
The number of separate trades you need to coordinate on site is reduced when one supplier stays accountable for everything from equipment supply to installation. As part of the same job, we can manage delivery, electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring, offering you a clear line of responsibility throughout the process. We deliver across Australia, and for large or heavy equipment, we organise specialist crane transport, with positioning, lifts and on-site placement planned around site access conditions. Before equipment is dispatched, compatibility checks are carried out to confirm it will work with the existing site infrastructure. With custom equipment, lead times depend on size, configuration and job complexity, but you can be confident that we will finalise the timeframe during quoting so that you can take your production commitments into account when planning. If you're searching for 'brite tank', 'glycol chiller' and more, you can start by providing your specifications by phone, email or through the website enquiry form, and we'll give you a quote tailored to your needs rather than a generic price list. Whether you've been curious about 'Milking vat' or want to learn more about topics like 'Buy industrial chiller', contact Barry Brown & Sons to discuss your requirements today.
