Yes. Barry Brown provides Australia-wide delivery and installation, including specialist crane transport and commissioning support.
AISI 304: Suitable for most food and dairy applications.
AISI 316: Enhanced corrosion resistance for aggressive cleaning or chemical environments.
Yes. All tanks are engineered-to-order, with extensive customisation options including fittings, insulation, integrated pipework, agitators, valves, sensors, and heating or cooling jackets.
Chiller sizing depends on your total heat load, including tank volume, product temperature, ambient conditions, and process heat inputs. To ensure stable temperature control and energy efficiency, Barry Brown assesses your full process requirements rather than relying on generic rules of thumb.
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.
Yes. Barry Brown manages full installation, setup, and commissioning, ensuring minimal disruption to existing operations.
Yes, including stainless steel tank fittings, weld-on fittings, and bulkhead fittings.
Yes, we integrate accessories into the tank design for seamless operation.
We stock a wide range of hygienic stainless steel fittings and accessories, including Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sprayballs, butterfly valves, sample taps, tube bends, and tees for industrial and food-grade applications.

You can contact Barry Brown & Sons by phone, email, online enquiry form, or by visiting our Pakenham facility.
For the fastest response, please include details about the equipment you need, your application, preferred size or specifications, site location, and whether you require delivery, installation, or custom fabrication support.
Getting new equipment up and running becomes your problem when the supplier's job finishes at the point of delivery. A tank or chiller may arrive to specification, but you can still be left to deal with the integration of your equipment while resolving anything that doesn't fit the site as expected. Your operations team ends up carrying the load, and with many contractors involved, pinning down accountability gets harder. Barry Brown & Sons takes a broader view of industrial stainless steel equipment supply, backed by more than 50 years of continuous operation in Australia. Based in Pakenham, our family-owned business has fabricated, supplied and installed high-grade stainless steel tanks, industrial chillers and associated equipment since 1970. From dairy, food manufacturing and beverage to brewing, chemical and broader industrial processing, our experience applies to all sectors where equipment has to perform under real production demands. Before recommending any solution, we work with you as an engineering partner to establish what your operation actually needs instead of just supplying equipment. If you've been looking up 'orbital welding stainless steel' or 'pipe fittings', know that quality control is also built into our operations, with skilled fabricators using high-grade materials and every item tested against internal quality standards before it leaves the facility.
Barry Brown & Sons supplies stainless steel tanks, chillers and process equipment for applications ranging from pilot production to large industrial systems. The tank range covers capacities from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, with new, refurbished and custom-built options offered in various configurations. We also fabricate food-grade 304 and 316 stainless steel equipment, including farm milk tanks and storage, fermentation and brewing, and food processing. When it comes to industrial air-cooled water and glycol chillers, we have options ranging from 7kW to 217kW, while custom systems can accommodate specific cooling loads, temperature ranges and flow rates. Beyond tanks, heat exchangers, chillers and custom control panels, we can bring these components together as one coordinated system. We offer orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly services for one-off and production jobs, such as fabricating industrial water tanks. If you're browsing for 'orbital welding stainless steel', existing tanks can also receive agitators, inlets, outlets and connections after assessment. On the other hand, if you need supporting products for your systems, we can provide Tri-Clover fittings, butterfly valves, pasteurisers & cheese vats, sprayballs and more. In addition, even if your research involves 'male and female threaded pipe' or 'pipe to pipe fitting', we offer a cost-conscious alternative via our refurbished inventory, with each unit assessed before listing.
Getting in touch with Barry Brown & Sons doesn't require every specification to be resolved first. Before you order, we'll work through capacity, configuration, stainless steel grade, cooling requirements and site conditions with you. After the requirements are clear, the team reviews the proposed equipment against your current setup to flag potential integration issues early before shipping. Dairy operations can have plumbing and electrical connections made directly to existing pumps, pipelines and milking systems during installation, so the tank functions within the broader system from the start. The same hands-on process applies whether your site is regional or remote. If limited site access or remoteness rules out direct installation, we'll coordinate trusted local contractors to keep the work moving without disrupting production. For those researching 'bsp fittings' or '304 fittings' for their operations, lead times for custom orders vary according to tank size, configuration and project complexity, and our team can confirm expected timing during the quoting stage. This way, you get a clearer view of specifications, compatibility and installation requirements before equipment reaches the site, so you can ask us about 'Stainless water tank' or 'Pasteuriser' without confusion. For more details on what we can do, call (03) 5941 6111 today.
