Great to talk to, happy to help
Yes. Barry Brown provides Australia-wide delivery and installation, including specialist crane transport and commissioning support.
AISI 304: Suitable for most food and dairy applications.
AISI 316: Enhanced corrosion resistance for aggressive cleaning or chemical environments.
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.
Yes. Barry Brown manages full installation, setup, and commissioning, ensuring minimal disruption to existing operations.
Yes, including stainless steel tank fittings, weld-on fittings, and bulkhead fittings.
Yes, we integrate accessories into the tank design for seamless operation.
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.
Procurement and operations teams often end up managing installation risk when suppliers stop at delivery. Getting a tank or chiller delivered is one thing, but organising the trades, integrating it into your process and dealing with technical issues is another entirely. Ageing equipment can create more pressure when reduced cooling capacity or tank wear interrupts production and forces a quick replacement decision. What's available off the shelf also rarely covers every detail, which is why capacity, fittings layout, hygienic grade and jacketing configuration need to be matched to your operation. Barry Brown & Sons takes a different approach to stainless steel equipment by working through the application before making recommendations. Since 1970, our work has covered the supply, fabrication and installation of stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and related gear for processing operations Australia-wide. We bring decades of hands-on experience in equipment supply, modification, fabrication and installation, so our recommendations reflect how your site actually operates. Each order is manufactured with high-grade materials by skilled fabricators, and the finished gear is checked using internal quality requirements before it ships. So, if you're interested in 'stainless steel pipe installation' or 'food equipment suppliers' for your operations, trust that we fully understand both the equipment and the application it needs to serve.
At Barry Brown & Sons, we supply stainless steel tanks and process equipment for various applications. For instance, our range of industrial water tanks covers capacities from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, with new, refurbished and custom-built options for pilot systems, milk storage and large-scale processing. We also offer single skin, jacketed, insulated, dimple-jacketed, horizontal and vertical builds across all grades of stainless steel, including food-grade 304 and 316 stainless steel. For a complete cooling solution, we can integrate heat exchangers, tanks, personalised control panels and chillers into a single coordinated system. In-house fabrication covers orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly for one-off and production requirements. We can also add agitators, inlets, outlets and connections after assessment to existing equipment like farm milk tanks, which can extend their service life. If you're searching for 'stainless steel pipe installation' to find supporting components, we can provide Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, tube bends and tees, as well as pasteurisers & cheese vats for dairy processing. Looking up 'industrial processing machinery' or 'food equipment manufacturers near me' is also easier thanks to our refurbished inventory, which offers buyers a cost-effective alternative to new equipment without the worry of specifications as with other second-hand channels.
You can get started by calling, emailing or filling out our website enquiry form with your unique specifications. However, don't worry if you haven't locked in every detail yet before contacting us. If you need guidance on cooling specifications, capacity, configuration or stainless grade, our team will step you through it before the order is finalised. When the details are confirmed, orders are delivered Australia-wide by our team, and for heavy and oversized equipment, specialist crane transport can be arranged. Additionally, the same team that supplies the systems can assist with the electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring. You avoid juggling multiple contractors and have clear accountability from supply through to commissioning since everything is handled by one supplier. Trusted local contractors can also be brought in for regional or remote operations, helping reduce delivery delays and downtime if site access is restricted. To confirm the equipment suits your current site infrastructure, we run compatibility checks on every order before it ships. So, if you're looking up 'chiller types' or 'stainless steel hose connector', rest assured we cater to your unique needs, operations and site. Call (03) 5941 6111 today to learn about 'Tank manufacturers', 'Stainless water tank' and more.
