Welding Fabricator

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 chose for the application. Plus, industrial equipment shouldn't just arrive on site, but many procurement and operations teams end up managing installation and integration themselves after a supplier delivers the products. Since 1970, Barry Brown & Sons has fabricated, supplied and installed stainless steel tanks, industrial water chillers, fittings and associated processing equipment across Australia. 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 in and knowledge of stainless steel equipment. We use high-grade materials, and before anything leaves the facility, our team tests it to verify that it meets internal quality standards. If you're searching for 'welding fabricator' or something similar, this practical approach gives you one experienced supplier across equipment selection, fabrication, modification and installation.

At Barry Brown & Sons, we supply a wide range of stainless steel tanks, including new, refurbished and custom-built units from 10 litres to 100,000 litres. From pilot systems to large processing vessels and milk silos, we've got it covered. Across all stainless steel grades, including food-grade 304 and 316, you can choose from various configurations including vertical, horizontal, single skin, insulated, jacketed or dimple-jacketed. For dairy milk storage, we can also supply farm milk tanks, configured to match herd size, milking frequency, flow rates and collection schedules. On the other hand, we offer industrial water tanks and glycol chillers, with air-cooled units from 7kW to 217kW, along with custom-engineered systems designed around your required cooling capacity, temperature range and flow rate. As for supporting equipment, our range includes Tri-Clover fittings, BSP and BSM connectors, sprayballs, butterfly valves, sample taps, tube bends and tees, as well as pasteurisers & cheese vats. In case you're researching 'schedule 10 pipe fittings' or 'ss pipe flanges' and need tailored equipment or design, you can turn to us for our custom fabrication service, from the design to the finished product. We offer CNC machining and assembly as well as orbital welding, pipe welding, and MIG and TIG welding, scaled to suit production runs or one-off projects.

The team prepares a quote that's tailored to you rather than a generic price list, so to get started, get in touch by phone, email or enquiry form with your specifications. From capacity, configuration and stainless steel grade to cooling needs and installation conditions, we can talk to you regarding requirements before any order is placed if you're still unsure. We also ship Australia-wide, so once the equipment is fabricated, we'll coordinate delivery for your convenience. This includes specialist crane transport, positioning and on-site placement for large or heavy equipment. If your project calls for it, the team managing placement can also extend to electrical work, control panel setup, on-site wiring and equipment integration. In dairy installations, for example, this can include connecting milk tanks to existing pumps, pipelines and milking systems. To reduce installation issues, the team assesses how each order fits with your current site infrastructure before anything ships. To keep downtime low where site access is limited in regional or remote locations, we also work with trusted local contractors to coordinate delivery when large equipment needs to be installed. Whether you're looking up 'tank level indicator' or 'stainless steel fabrication near me', you can turn to us for clear timelines provided during the quoting process.
