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.
A site's actual needs do not always match the equipment available off the shelf. The capacity, jacketing configuration, fittings layout and hygienic grade of your equipment all have to suit your operation from the start. If these details are wrong, you may need to make sacrifices on the setup or pay for modifications after delivery, making specification matching crucial. The difference here at Barry Brown & Sons is in how our team approaches the job. Instead of just providing you with generic equipment, we consider your requirements first before suggesting a suitable option. Since 1970, we have been supplying Australian operations with stainless steel equipment like tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and custom fabrication. On top of this, we have experience working across a range of sectors, from food, dairy, beverage and brewing to chemical and industrial processing. We bring more than 50 years of continuous experience in Australian equipment supply and fabrication as a family-owned business based in Pakenham. With us having every item tested against internal quality standards before leaving our facility, you can also feel confident in our focus on quality control. If you're interested in 'stainless steel fabrication Brisbane' or beyond, you can rest assured that our team will use high-grade materials and skilled fabricators for your order.
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. Similarly, we have a range of tanks available for food processing, such as those for sauces, ingredients and prepared foods. Our custom fabrication services can cover design to the finished product, including capabilities like pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, orbital welding, CNC machining and assembly. Such a personalised option can support one-off jobs as well as production requirements, while your existing equipment may be modified rather than fully replaced. Whether you've been looking up 'air cooled chiller maintenance', 'stainless steel welding Gold Coast' or beyond, we can help with your unique project needs.
Barry Brown & Sons gives you access to more than just a standard price list. Simply let us know your specifications by calling, emailing or using our website enquiry form so that our team can prepare a tailored quote. You can even make contact before knowing every detail, as we can help you work through capacity, configuration, stainless grade and cooling specifications before you order. 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. We'll then deliver your equipment to your operations anywhere in Australia once you have finalised your order. Transport, positioning and on-site placement can even be managed by our team based on site access conditions, which includes 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 'Water cooled chiller manufacturer' or 'Water cooled water chiller' for equipment supply to commissioning. Before delivery, every order also includes compatibility checks to make sure the equipment will integrate with the current site infrastructure. So, whether you were searching for 'pasteurizer machine' or 'difference between 316 and 304 stainless steel', contact us today to discuss your requirements.
