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.

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.
Once a supplier's involvement stops at delivery, it falls to you to pull together electricians, installers and control specialists, along with the risk that components won't fit or integrate the way they should. This additional coordination effort can push out production timelines and drive up expenses. From our Pakenham facility, Barry Brown & Sons has supported Australian processing businesses since 1970 with the supply, fabrication and installation of industrial water chillers, stainless steel tanks, associated items and fittings, helping them avoid that situation. 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. Reliable offerings backed by industry knowledge have supported more than 5 decades of continuous operation across food, beverage, brewing, dairy, chemical and industrial processing applications. Whether you're looking up 'storage tank fabrication' or 'equipment in food processing', you get to deal with experienced people who understand the demands of processing facilities and the value of getting specifications right from the outset. Nothing leaves our workshop without being checked against internal quality standards, so you can be extra confident the equipment is ready for the next steps of your project when it reaches your site.
Barry Brown & Sons supplies new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks from 10 litres through to 100,000 litres, giving you options for everything from pilot systems all the way to large-scale industrial processing and milk silo applications. Single skin, insulated, jacketed and dimple-jacketed options are all available, with vertical or horizontal configurations selected to match process and site conditions. Our tanks, including industrial water tanks, are available across all stainless steel grades, including food-grade 304 and 316. For dairy operations, farm milk tanks can be configured around herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules. Should a standard configuration not suit the application, our custom fabrication service can accommodate non-standard requirements. The scope of equipment also goes beyond the vessel itself, including industrial water and glycol chillers in air-cooled capacities from 7kW to 217kW. Where a project needs specific temperature ranges, flow rate requirements or cooling capacity, we can likewise custom-engineer a cooling system to match. The dairy processing range includes pasteurisers & cheese vats for industrial and artisanal production, with control panels available for automation, temperature control and equipment integration as part of a complete system. Whether you're looking up 'storage tank fabrication', 'food industrial equipment' or 'agro processing equipment', you can look to us for a suitable solution.
You know exactly who's accountable at every stage when one supplier covers equipment supply right through to commissioning. From delivery and electrical work through to control panel setup and on-site wiring, Barry Brown & Sons can manage the full installation scope so you're not chasing multiple contractors at each stage. For large or heavy equipment, we organise specialist crane transport and review site access and positioning requirements before dispatch, and we deliver all over Australia. Your existing infrastructure is reviewed against the equipment specs before dispatch to avoid compatibility issues on site. For custom orders, we also clarify expected timelines during the quoting process. If you've been searching for 'industrial cooling system', 'water chillers Australia' or other topics for solutions, you can start by providing your specifications by phone, email or through the website enquiry form, and the team will respond with a quote based on your actual requirements rather than a generic price list. And if you've been interested in 'Fabricate stainless steel' and 'Clean in place system' but are worried about location, rest assured that we can bring in trusted local contractors when getting large equipment installed in locations with limited site access to reduce downtime. Contact us today and let us know about your requirements.
