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.

Off-the-shelf equipment doesn't always match what a processing site actually requires. An operation risks expensive modifications and unnecessary downtime when there are mismatches with the jacket configuration, fitting layout, tank capacity or hygienic grade you've chosen for the application. And industrial equipment shouldn't just arrive on site, but when it comes to installation and integration, the work too often falls back on procurement and operations teams once the supplier delivers the products. Across Australia, Barry Brown & Sons has fabricated, supplied and installed industrial water chillers, stainless steel tanks, fittings and associated processing equipment since 1970. Our approach as an engineering partner allows us to go beyond product supply, setting us apart from general suppliers. Our role is to source, modify and install gear that's actually matched to your process, not to supply off-the-shelf equipment and walk away. As a family-owned, Pakenham-based operation, we have worked in the Australian industrial equipment supply and fabrication industry for over 50 years, so you can trust our experience and knowledge of stainless steel equipment. Before it leaves our facility, each piece is tested against internal quality standards, and we only build with high-grade materials. If you're searching for 'stainless steel fabrication Newcastle' or something similar, this practical approach gives you one experienced supplier across equipment selection, fabrication, modification and installation.
Your requirements for industrial water tanks and other gear can range from small pilot batch processing to large-scale production. Fortunately, Barry Brown & Sons supplies a line of new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks, from 10 litres through to 100,000 litres, covering various requirements, from industrial processing to milk silo applications. You can specify single skin, insulated, jacketed or dimple-jacketed construction in vertical or horizontal configurations. Also, this range covers all stainless steel grades, with food-grade 304 and 316 included. For dairy operations, farm milk tanks can be built from food-grade 304 stainless steel and configured around herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules. Pasteurisers & cheese vats are also available for supply and installation in both industrial dairy processing and small artisanal production. Our options extend to industrial water and glycol cooling solutions, with air-cooled chillers from 7kW to 217kW and custom-engineered systems aligned with your temperature range, flow rate and cooling capacity needs. What's more, those browsing for 'heat transfer solutions' or 'cross pipe fitting' will be pleased to know that our custom fabrication service covers orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly.
With Barry Brown & Sons, you get 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. But should you want to plan ahead before discussing with us, our detailed size and specification guides are available online so you can compare configurations and narrow down ideal tank options. When you've finalised your order, we'll then deliver your equipment to your operations anywhere in Australia. 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 'Glycol chillers' or 'Liquid cooling chiller' for equipment supply to commissioning. Every order also includes compatibility checks to ensure that the equipment will integrate with the existing site infrastructure before delivery. So, whether you were searching for 'industrial water chillers Australia' or 'food machinery', contact us today to discuss your requirements.
