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.
If delivery is where a supplier's support ends, you may need to coordinate the required work to make the equipment operational. With this, procurement and operations managers across various industries, similar to you, may often end up handling installation risk themselves. Where downtime and production schedules are significant, that gap caused by ageing, underperforming equipment can become costly in processing operations. That is where Barry Brown & Sons can offer support, having supplied, fabricated and installed high-grade stainless steel tanks, industrial chillers and associated equipment for Australian operations since 1970. As a family-owned and Pakenham-based operation, we bring more than 50 years of hands-on experience and a team that understands the demands placed on stainless steel equipment across dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing. Instead of acting like generalist suppliers in the market, our team first takes the time to understand what your site requires before suggesting anything. This way, you get access to an engineering partnership rather than simple product supply. If you've been searching for 'water circulation chiller' or 'dairy equipment', trust that we use high-grade materials across orders and conduct internal testing to check every item against our own quality requirements before it leaves our facility.
Our range of stainless steel tanks covers capacities from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, with new, refurbished and custom-built options available for pilot systems through to large-scale processing. Buyers can choose single skin, insulated, jacketed, dimple-jacketed, vertical and horizontal configurations in stainless steel grades, including food-grade 304 and 316. Meanwhile, the cooling range for our industrial water tanks includes air-cooled water and glycol chillers from 7kW to 217kW. We can also supply farm milk tanks, heat exchangers, chillers and customised control panels as one coordinated system. Where standard equipment isn't suitable, our in-house fabrication service covers the full process from design to the finished product. Among these are orbital welding, pipe welding, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining and assembly. If you are looking up 'water circulation chiller' to find supporting equipment, we have Tri-Clover fittings, butterfly valves, sprayballs and other accessories. What's more, even if your search for options includes 'dairy processing plant equipment' or 'dairy plant machinery', we offer an affordable alternative to new equipment through our large range of refurbished inventory. Each piece of refurbished equipment, from pasteurisers & cheese vats to other items, is carefully inspected for structural integrity, operability and full compliance without the confusion associated with buying second-hand through other channels.
Working with one supplier from equipment supply through to commissioning gives you a clear point of accountability throughout the job. 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. Delivery is available Australia-wide, including specialist crane transport for large or heavy equipment where required, and with site access and positioning considered before it arrives. The equipment is checked for compatibility with your current infrastructure to confirm operational alignment before it's shipped. Expected timelines for custom orders are also defined as part of the quoting stage. If you've been searching for 'stainless steel pipe Perth', 'cip cleaning' 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 'Milk pasteuriser for sale Australia' and 'Stainless fabrication' 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. Get in touch with us now to talk through your specific requirements.
