Great to talk to, happy to help
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.
Suppliers that only handle delivery can leave you managing control specialists, electricians and installers separately, along with the risk of unexpected fit or integration issues. Production delays and rising costs are common side effects of carrying that project management burden. Operating from our Pakenham facility since 1970, Barry Brown & Sons supplies, fabricates and installs stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated items so Australian processing businesses don't face that scenario. Rather than simply providing stainless steel equipment and other gear, we take a practical engineering approach, considering how each component will operate within your existing process before recommending a solution. Over 50 years of continuous operation have been underpinned by reliable offerings and industry knowledge across industrial processing, brewing, beverage, food, chemical and dairy applications. Whether you're looking up 'ss seamless tube' or 'stainless steel tube sizes', you get to deal with experienced people who understand the demands of processing facilities and the value of getting specifications right from the outset. Equipment is verified against internal quality standards before dispatch, so what arrives on site is ready to move straight into the next stage of your project.
Our range of stainless steel tanks includes new, refurbished and custom-built options from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, covering everything from pilot systems through to large-scale industrial processing and milk silo applications. Applications of these tanks include dairy milk storage, fermentation and brewing as well as food processing for sauces, ingredients and prepared foods. We also supply industrial water tanks with air-cooled water and glycol chillers from 7kW to 217kW, along with custom-engineered systems tailored to your cooling capacity, temperature range and flow rate requirements. Plus, you can trust that every unit in our large range of refurbished stainless steel tanks and chillers is assessed for structural integrity, operational suitability and compliance before listing. For dairy operations, our farm milk tanks are manufactured from food-grade 304 stainless steel and can be configured to suit herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules. The design also includes chilled water or glycol cooling systems. On top of that, our product line includes pasteurisers & cheese vats for industrial dairy processing and artisanal production, along with control panels for automation, temperature control and equipment integration as part of complete system installations. No matter if you've been looking up 'ss seamless tube', 'cip skid for sale' or 'stainless steel tank design standards', you can turn to us.
To get started, contact us by phone, email or our website enquiry form with your specifications to receive a tailored quote rather than a generic price list. If you haven't finalised every requirement yet, we can help determine the right capacity, configuration, stainless grade and cooling specification. We also provide delivery across Australia, along with specialist crane transport for large or heavy equipment. To help manage every stage of the installation process, transport, crane lifts, positioning and on-site placement are coordinated around your site access requirements. With plumbing and electrical integration covered by our installation service, we even help ensure your milk tank is operational rather than simply positioned on site. For sites with restricted access, we can work with trusted local contractors to help manage delivery and minimise downtime during installation. Every order comes with compatibility checks to make sure your equipment will integrate with your existing site infrastructure, so you can rest assured whether you're interested in 'stainless steel shop' or 'food processing machine'. Plus, your expected lead time will be confirmed during the quoting process based on the tank size, configuration and complexity of your custom order. So, if you've been researching 'piping fabrication' or 'chiller distributors' or you have questions about something else, call us now at (03) 5941 6111 to learn more.
