Great to talk to, happy to help
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.
If a supplier's offered support stops at delivery, you may need to organise the work needed to make the equipment operational. The result is that managers in procurement and operations roles like yours across different industries frequently take on installation risk on their own. Where downtime and production schedules are significant, that gap caused by ageing, underperforming equipment can become costly in processing operations. Barry Brown & Sons can help here as a company that has supplied, fabricated and installed high-grade stainless steel tanks, industrial chillers and associated equipment for Australian operations since 1970. As a family-owned and Pakenham-based operation, we bring more than 50 years of hands-on experience and a team that understands the demands placed on stainless steel equipment across dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing. Before recommending anything, our team takes the time to understand what your site requires, unlike generalist suppliers in the market. With this, you get access to an engineering partnership, not just simple product supply. If you've been searching for 'process cooling solutions' or 'stainless steel tube sizes Australia', trust that we use high-grade materials across orders and conduct internal testing to check every item against our own quality requirements before it leaves our facility.
No 2 operations share the same process, space constraints or production capacity, so the equipment range needs to cover far more than off-the-shelf options. We supply new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks from 10 litres through to 100,000 litres, supporting everything from pilot-scale development to large industrial processing and milk silo applications. The range includes specialised farm milk tanks designed to meet the demands of dairy operations, alongside industrial water tanks used across a variety of processing applications. The full configuration set (single skin, insulated, jacketed and dimple-jacketed, in vertical or horizontal orientation) is available in food-grade 304 and 316 stainless steel to meet hygienic processing requirements. When off-the-shelf equipment won't work, our custom fabrication capabilities include orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly for single or repeat production runs. For dairy processors, we also supply and install pasteurisers & cheese vats suitable for both large-scale industrial production and smaller artisanal operations. Supporting components, including Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sprayballs, butterfly valves, sample taps, tube bends and tees, are available as well, so you can turn to us, no matter if you're searching for 'process cooling solutions', 'industrial cooling equipment' or 'types of industrial cooling systems'.
Barry Brown & Sons can take care of the plumbing and electrical work required to connect your equipment to existing pumps, pipelines and milking systems, giving you a functioning setup rather than simply placing a vessel into position. Australia-wide delivery is available, with specialist crane transport organised for larger equipment when required. Before equipment delivery, we carry out compatibility checks against your existing infrastructure to ensure integration and to flag any connection requirements that must be addressed. Before the equipment arrives, you'll have a clear picture of the setup process and any fitment issues that could otherwise surface on site. Tank size, configuration and fabrication requirements determine lead times on custom orders, with the expected timeframe confirmed at the quoting stage to support planning around production and site access. If you've been looking up 'stainless steel shop', 'cip system in dairy' and other related topics for solutions, you can reach out with your specifications via phone, email or through the website enquiry form. Our team will provide a tailored quote matched to your operational equipment and installation needs. Contact us now to discuss your requirements related to 'Glycol chillers', 'Liquid cooling chiller' and beyond.
