Delivering pumping solutions for over a century

With over 115 years of experience in the pump industry, Brown Brothers Engineers is one of the leading pump suppliers in Australia and New Zealand. Offering a wide range of high-quality pumps and pumping solutions from many globally trusted brands, Brown Brothers Engineers have the industry experience and expertise to deliver customised pumping solutions that cater to any requirement.

Exceptional Customisation Capabilities

At Brown Brothers Engineers Australia we are dedicated to offering comprehensive services and support to our customers with operations including the importation of a wide range of pumping equipment from many highly reputable brands, as well as the design, assembly, distribution, testing and custom-building of pump sets and pumping systems.

According to Peter Gaul, National Sales Manager at Brown Brothers Engineers, “Our product selection, system design and engineering capabilities are what set us apart from the competition and add significant value to our customers. Whether you’re after a basic pump-in-a-box product straight off the shelf or a complete custom-built solution, we have the industry experience and engineering capabilities to deliver a pumping solution to meet your requirements”.

From commercial and industrial applications to agriculture and domestic use, we take pride in our ability to offer the best technical advice and support throughout every stage of the project.

“From the initial consultation and project design stage through to manufacturing, testing, installation, and continuous routine maintenance and servicing, our team of experienced engineers work closely with the customer and engineering consultants to select the best pump or pumping system for a given project,” said Mr Gaul.

With dedicated inventory warehousing and workshop facilities in each of our branches along with pump testing facilities located in the Melbourne and Sydney branches, we offer full machining and fabricating capabilities and can produce a wide variety of pump sets from standard designs to one-off custom units.

With our extensive customisation capabilities and specialised testing facilities, we have provided custom-builds and tailored solutions for many customers across a wide range of applications and industries including:

• A flood-prone golf course located in South-east Queensland required a mobile pumping solution after experiencing regular flooding that damaged the course and more recently, washed away it’s pumping infrastructure. Brown Brothers Engineers custom-built a mobile pumping system fitted onto a trailer to ensure the pump could be moved in future flooding events.
• Unlike many racecourse pump stations, which are generally located to the side of the track, the pumping location at this racecourse was in the centre of the track. Brown Brother Engineers had to think outside the box in the design of this pump system so as not to obstruct patrons’ views during racing.
• When a pump system that could provide emergency irrigation was required for a dryland farming and cropping research facility, Brown Brothers Engineers had to design a pump station that delivered water to several different areas in different directions from a single water source.
• When an old and tiring pump set was causing issues and increased maintenance costs at a golf club in regional Victoria, Brown Brothers Engineers custom-built a solution that provided course staff with greater control than they had ever had before.

Specialised pump testing facilities

Brown Brothers Engineers recognises the significance of not only building a pump tailored to customers’ needs, but also conducting thorough testing to ensure its performance meets specified standards. With specialised test facilities located in both our Melbourne and Sydney branches, we have the necessary infrastructure on offer to test, service and maintain most pumps.

Our Melbourne branch recently relocated to a newly constructed facility in Keysborough with the new site providing a significantly larger and improved space, triple the size of our previous Melbourne facility.

At over 5,500m², the new Melbourne site has the additional space to hold some of the latest technology allowing for the design, building, and testing of pumps and equipment to recognised standards up to ISO9906.

Mr Gaul said, “The new state-of-the-art test facility boasts a range of key capabilities, including a 22-metre-deep pump test well that is interconnected to a 2.6-metre-deep test tank that has the capacity to hold approximately 34,000 litres of water, making it capable of testing pumps that exceed 250 kW and flows of up to 300L/s”.

It has also proven to be an invaluable diagnostic tool for pump servicing.

Additionally, the test facility will be equipped with a dedicated diesel-driven test bay and an overhead crane that has a 5-tonne lifting capacity, which will further enhance its versatility and functionality.
