Stainless Steel Fab

The price of new equipment is just one of the expenses you have to manage when older equipment starts to underperform. Production can be restricted by a chiller operating below capacity or a stainless steel tank showing wear, while each day spent searching for a qualified supplier prolongs the risk of added downtime. In a processing operation where output depends on reliable equipment, the value of lost production can exceed the cost of equipment itself. You need a supplier that can assess the application properly and recommend stainless steel equipment based on what your site requires, rather than simply directing you towards available stock. This is where Barry Brown & Sons comes into the picture, as we've supplied stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated gear to Australian dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing operations since 1970. Given that we're a family-owned, Pakenham-based business with more than 50 years in the industry, you can rest assured that you won't be left unsupported. After all, behind each order are skilled fabricators who use high-grade materials, so if you've been looking up 'stainless steel fab', trust that we'll work through your operating conditions and equipment needs before recommending a suitable option for your site.

Here, our tank range includes new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, supporting everything from pilot systems to large-scale industrial processing and milk silo applications. When it comes to these industrial water tanks, the available configuration options include single-skin, insulated, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, vertical and horizontal tanks across all grades of stainless steel, including food-grade 304 and 316. For dairy operations, farm milk tanks can also be built from food-grade 304 stainless steel and configured around herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules. On top of this, if you're interested in equipment outside of pasteurisers & cheese vats, our tanks support fermentation and brewing. We similarly have a line of tanks suitable for food processing work, such as those for ingredients, sauces and prepared foods. We cover everything from design to the finished product through custom fabrication services that include capabilities like pipe welding, orbital welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly. One-off projects and production runs are both supported by this personalised option, and we can also modify your existing equipment instead of fully replacing it. Whether you've been looking up 'used industrial food equipment', 'bespoke stainless steel fabrication' or beyond, we can help with your unique project needs.

Barry Brown & Sons makes it so you get more than just a standard price list. Just call, email or submit the website enquiry form with your specifications, and we can prepare a tailored quote. We can help you work through capacity, configuration, stainless grade and cooling specifications before you order, which means you don't even need to know every detail before making contact. However, we have detailed size and specification guides online so you can compare configurations and shortlist suitable tank options and plan ahead before speaking with us. Your equipment can then be delivered to your operations anywhere in Australia once your order has been finalised. Based on site access conditions, our team can even manage transport, positioning and on-site placement, including specialist crane transport for large or heavy items. Your order can likewise be coordinated to include electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring, which means you can have one point of accountability, from researching 'Clean in place system' or 'Stainless fabrication' for equipment supply to commissioning. All orders also include compatibility checks to make sure the equipment will integrate with the current site infrastructure before delivery. So, whether you were searching for 'hose tail' or 'fabrication services', contact us today to discuss your requirements.
