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.

Industrial stainless steel equipment needs to match the process, site and existing infrastructure, not simply arrive at the loading dock. When suppliers leave installation, integration and technical issues to be resolved by the buyer, procurement and operations teams often deal with unexpected coordination. Ageing chillers and worn tanks can add further pressure when reduced capacity or equipment failure interrupts production. Following a practical approach, Barry Brown & Sons assesses what the operation needs before making solution recommendations. Our family-owned business in Pakenham has supplied, fabricated and installed stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated equipment for a range of processing industries across Australia since 1970. Our assessment of each application covers capacity, jacketing configuration, fittings layout, cooling requirements and operating conditions. By following this process, there's less chance of selecting standard equipment that needs extensive modification once delivered. Every order involves skilled fabricators using high-grade materials, with finished equipment tested against internal quality requirements before the fabrications are sent out. When you're researching 'pasteurisation equipment' or 'food processing machinery for sale' to find tailored options, we've supported food, dairy, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial operations, so you can rest easy knowing you're working with an experienced supplier that understands both the equipment and its intended application.
Our range of stainless steel tanks covers capacities from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, with new, refurbished and custom-built options available for pilot systems through to large-scale processing. Configurations include single skin, insulated, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, vertical and horizontal, with stainless steel grades available, including food-grade 304 and 316. Meanwhile, the cooling range for our industrial water tanks includes air-cooled water and glycol chillers from 7kW to 217kW. We can also supply farm milk tanks, heat exchangers, chillers and customised control panels as one coordinated system. Where standard equipment isn't suitable, our in-house fabrication service covers the full process from design to the finished product. This includes orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly. If you are looking up 'pasteurisation equipment' to find supporting equipment, we have Tri-Clover fittings, butterfly valves, sprayballs and other accessories. What's more, even if your search for options includes 'used processing equipment for sale' or 'used processing equipment', we offer an affordable alternative to new equipment through our large range of refurbished inventory. Each piece of refurbished equipment, from pasteurisers & cheese vats to other items, is carefully inspected for structural integrity, operability and full compliance without the confusion associated with buying second-hand through other channels.
Getting in touch with Barry Brown & Sons doesn't require every specification to be resolved first. Our team can help you sort out capacity, configuration, stainless steel grade, cooling requirements and site conditions ahead of any order. After the requirements are clear, the team reviews the proposed equipment against your current setup to flag potential integration issues early before shipping. For dairy operations, the installation service can cover plumbing and electrical connections to existing pumps, pipelines and milking systems, so the tank arrives as part of an operating system rather than standalone gear. Remote and regional sites get the same practical approach. For sites where access is limited or location makes direct installation difficult, we coordinate with dependable local contractors to handle the work and protect your production schedule. For those researching 'stainless steel pipe tee fittings' or 'cip and sip' 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 'Tank manufacturers' or 'Pasteuriser' without confusion. Call (03) 5941 6111 today to learn more about our services.
