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.

Getting equipment from delivery to operation can become complicated when several trades need to be coordinated. When a supplier only delivers the product, procurement and operations managers are left holding the installation risk themselves. On top of this, equipment that's ageing and losing output introduces the added pressure of downtime. Finding a qualified supplier can become an unexpected priority when chiller performance drops or tank wear starts affecting your operation, adding pressure to limited time and resources. As such, we at Barry Brown & Sons are here to help with these challenges. For more than 50 years, our Pakenham-based, family-owned operation has supplied and fabricated industrial equipment in Australia. Since 1970, we have been supplying stainless steel equipment, from tanks and industrial water chillers to fittings and custom fabrication. Supporting sites across the beverage, food, brewing, dairy, industrial processing and chemical sectors, our team works as an engineering partner instead of simply supplying equipment. Your operation drives our recommendations, and we source, modify and install gear tailored to what your site actually requires. If you've been searching for 'small chiller unit' or 'winery chiller', our long-running presence lets you know that support will still be there after the equipment arrives.
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. Pipe welding, orbital welding, MIG and TIG welding, and CNC machining and assembly are all part of the custom fabrication offering, supporting both one-off and production work. Existing tanks may be modified instead of replaced, with agitators, inlets, outlets and connections added to systems already in service, depending on assessment. For a cost-effective route, our refurbished stock is also worth considering when sourcing equipment for your site. Whether you were searching for 'small chiller unit', 'wine tank cooling' or 'glycol wine chiller', each item is assessed for structural integrity, operational suitability and compliance before listing.
There's no reason you should be coordinating separate contractors for equipment supply, delivery, commissioning and more just to get your system running. We can manage these requirements through one team, giving you a single point of accountability from supply through to a finished installation. Australia-wide delivery comes standard with us, and we coordinate specialist crane transport for large or heavy equipment, along with lifting, positioning and on-site placement based on your access requirements. Each piece of equipment is checked for compatibility with your current setup prior to dispatch, helping prevent the risk of issues at the installation stage. On-site wiring, control panel setup and electrical work all sit within the same team's scope as well, so you maintain a single point of accountability as the project develops. Custom equipment lead times are driven by tank size, configuration and complexity, and we confirm expected timelines during the quoting process. Those interested in 'chiller for water', 'ss pipes and fittings' and related topics can contact the team with their specifications via phone, email or through the website enquiry form, and we will prepare a tailored quote. Call us now at (03) 5941 6111 to discuss your requirements, ask us about 'Milking vat' or 'Milk pasteuriser for sale Australia', or learn more about our services.
