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.

On paper, standard equipment may appear suitable, but site-specific requirements often tell a different story. Capacity, jacketing configuration, fittings layout and hygienic grade should be matched to the application, site conditions and existing infrastructure. When they don't, you're left accepting a compromise or paying for modifications after delivery, adding cost and disruption that could have been addressed before the order was placed. Fortunately, Barry Brown & Sons approaches stainless steel equipment supply from the site requirement first, drawing on more than 50 years of experience across dairy, food, beverage, brewing, chemical and industrial processing. Since 1970, Australian operations have turned to our Pakenham-based team when they need equipment configured for their specific production environment rather than chosen from general stock. Where a standard configuration doesn't suit, our experience also extends to custom fabrication and modification. If you're searching for 'wine tanks for sale', 'stainless steel shop' or other related topics, you can be confident that every order is backed by high-grade materials, skilled fabrication and internal quality testing before it leaves the facility. This means that you work with a supplier that integrates quality control into how equipment for Australian industrial sites is prepared and provides recommendations that reflect decades of direct experience across diverse processing environments.
Our range of stainless steel tanks includes new, refurbished and custom-built options from 10 litres to 100,000 litres, covering everything from pilot systems through to large-scale industrial processing and milk silo applications. Dairy milk storage, fermentation and brewing, and food processing for sauces, ingredients and prepared foods are all supported by these tanks. We also supply industrial water tanks with air-cooled water and glycol chillers from 7kW to 217kW, along with custom-engineered systems tailored to your cooling capacity, temperature range and flow rate requirements. Alongside this, you can trust that structural integrity, operational suitability and compliance are assessed on every refurbished stainless steel tank and chiller in our extensive range before it is listed. For dairy operations, our farm milk tanks are manufactured from food-grade 304 stainless steel and can be configured to suit herd size, milking frequency, milk flow rates and collection schedules. Chilled water or glycol cooling systems are also integrated into the design. On top of that, our product line includes pasteurisers & cheese vats for industrial dairy processing and artisanal production, along with control panels for automation, temperature control and equipment integration as part of complete system installations. No matter if you've been looking up 'wine tanks for sale', '500 gallon stainless steel tank' or 'flash pasteuriser milk', you can turn to us.
Give us a call, send an email or submit a website enquiry to get started, then outline your equipment and site requirements. We'll work through capacity, tank configuration, stainless steel grade, cooling duty and current infrastructure before putting together a tailored quote. For buyers yet to finalise their requirements, we can work through the details together, or they can refer to our online size and specification guides to compare suitable options. Once the order is confirmed, the team can coordinate Australia-wide transport, including specialist crane delivery, lifting, positioning and on-site placement for large equipment. Before delivery, we even check compatibility with the existing site infrastructure to reduce integration issues. Electrical work, control panel setup, wiring and system integration can also be managed by the same team, so you have one point of contact from supply through to commissioning. If you're interested in 'glycol cooler' or 'tank outlet fitting', know that our custom lead times vary according to tank size, configuration and project complexity, with timing confirmed during the quoting stage. And in case you're searching for 'Custom stainless steel fabrication' or 'Tank manufacturers' for regional and restricted-access projects, the team can engage trusted local contractors where site conditions require them. Call us at (03) 5941 6111 today to learn more.
