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.

The price of new equipment is just one of the expenses you have to manage when older equipment starts to underperform. A chiller running below capacity or a stainless steel tank showing wear can limit production, while each day spent searching for a qualified supplier can increase the risk of more downtime. For a processing operation where output is connected to equipment you can depend on, lost production can carry a value greater than the cost of the 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. Enter Barry Brown & Sons, which has supported Australian dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing operations since 1970 by supplying stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated gear. As a family-owned, Pakenham-based business with more than 50 years of industry experience, you can rest assured that we won't leave you unsupported. After all, behind each order are skilled fabricators who use high-grade materials, so if you've been looking up 'water chillers', trust that we'll work through your operating conditions and equipment needs before recommending a suitable option for your site.
From compact 10-litre units through to 100,000-litre systems, we supply new, refurbished and custom-built stainless steel tanks for pilot systems, industrial processing lines and milk silo applications. Our collection covers single skin, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, insulated, vertical and horizontal configurations in all stainless steel grades, such as food-grade 304 and 316. These industrial water tanks can support applications in fermentation and brewing as well as chemical and corrosive environments. In addition to this, our options can help with dairy milk storage. For those who are interested in farm milk tanks, these options can be configured to align with herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules, including chilled water and glycol cooling systems. For this type of processing, we also have pasteurisers & cheese vats available for supply and installation in both industrial operations and artisanal production. We can supply control panels for automation, temperature control and equipment integration. Fittings and accessories, like Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sample taps, tube bends and tees, can also support process tank systems. Instead of getting general hardware, you can get specific components supplied here as part of a wider setup, whether you're curious about 'water cooled chiller system' or 'water chiller systems'.
You can contact us by phone, by email or by filling out our website enquiry form with your specifications. Rather than giving you a generic price list, our team can provide a tailored quote this way. We're happy to help clarify capacity, configuration, stainless grade and cooling specifications before you order if you're still figuring out your requirements. We also have detailed specification and sizing guides online, which means you can compare configurations and refine your tank options ahead of the conversation. Your convenience is our priority, which is why we deliver Australia-wide. Just remember that custom order lead times are driven by tank size, configuration and complexity, but we confirm timelines when we give you a quote. Our team can also handle the logistics of transport, crane lifts, positioning and on-site placement, with us working around your site access constraints. Since we supply the equipment and carry out the electrical work, control panel setup and on-site wiring, you deal with one accountable team the whole way through. If you've been curious about 'heat transfer system' or 'chiller for milk cooling', know that we reduce the coordination burden and make it easier to get equipment delivered, positioned and ready for operation. To learn more about 'Stainless fabrication' and 'Milking vat', contact Barry Brown & Sons to discuss your requirements now.
