Smarter pre-cooling starts overnight.

An ice builder stores cooling energy when electricity rates are lower by building ice overnight, ready to support pre-cooling during milking.

By removing heat earlier in the process, peak-time energy demand is reduced, refrigeration load is eased, and overall cooling efficiency is improved.

Ice builders.
Store energy smarter. Pre-cool more efficiently.

When Is It Time to Upgrade a Water Heater?

Water heating systems are typically specified for long service life. However, changing efficiency expectations, modern heat sources, and evolving installation constraints can reveal the limitations of older designs.

As energy performance becomes increasingly important, ageing water heaters may struggle to deliver consistent recovery, minimise standing heat losses, or integrate effectively with contemporary systems. In many cases, legacy designs also restrict installation flexibility in confined environments.

Upgrading a water heater is therefore not simply a replacement decision. It is an opportunity to improve thermal efficiency, optimise system integration, and specify vessels engineered for reliable, long-term performance. Well-designed, British-manufactured water heaters support system integrity and reduce lifecycle risk across a wide range of applications.

Bespoke Brewery Vessels. Built Around the Brew.

At BRITANX, no two brewery vessels are ever the same. Every tank we manufacture is engineered from the ground up to suit the brewer’s process, space, and performance requirements.

From capacity and geometry through to connections, finishes, and integration with existing systems, our bespoke stainless steel brewery vessels are designed in-house and manufactured with precision in the UK. This approach ensures reliable operation, efficient workflows, and long-term durability in demanding brewing environments.

Whether supporting small-batch innovation or large-scale production, our vessels are built to perform consistently, day after day. Because great beer deserves equipment that works as hard as the brewer behind it.

Manufacturing closer to site reduces risk.

When dairy tanks are produced overseas, extended transport routes can increase the chance of delays, handling damage, and logistical complications.

Fabdec Dairy Systems manufactures stainless steel dairy storage tanks in the UK, with delivery handled within the UK supply chain. This shorter journey helps reduce transport exposure while providing clearer lead times and direct communication from factory to site.

Whether you operate a dairy farm, manage a hot water system, or run a processing plant, the question is the same:

When is the right time to replace your equipment?

Waiting until failure often means unplanned downtime, emergency costs, and operational disruption. However, replacing too early can feel unnecessary. The right moment usually sits in between.

Signs it may be time to start planning include rising energy consumption, inconsistent performance, increasing maintenance requirements, and equipment that no longer supports your process or capacity needs.

Across dairy, water heating, and process applications, modern stainless steel equipment can deliver improved efficiency, reliability, and control, helping future-proof operations and reduce long-term costs.

Proactive replacement isn’t just about new equipment. It’s about protecting uptime, improving performance, and supporting growth.

And when equipment is designed and manufactured to a high standard from the outset, it doesn’t just perform better, it lasts longer too.

If you’re unsure where your current assets stand, starting the conversation early can make all the difference.

Great to see one of our vessels out in the field - and on display at the Ice Cream and Artisan Food Show

We recently supplied a 600 litre ice cream vessel for our customer Fincher Limited, which is now being showcased as part of their exhibition setup.

Designed and manufactured in stainless steel, this bespoke tank is built to support consistent processing and dependable performance, helping enhance product texture, flavour, and overall quality.

Even better, our sales team were able to visit the show, see the vessel in situ, and capture these images from the stand.

If you’re looking for bespoke stainless steel vessels for food or beverage processing, we’re always happy to discuss your application.

Precision-engineered tanks for demanding ice cream processes.

We have recently completed three bespoke ice cream tanks for a single customer:
• 1 × 600 litre vessel
• 2 × 1,200 litre vessels

Each tank has been designed and manufactured with integrated steam injector inlets, helping to enhance the texture, flavour, and overall quality of the final product.

Rather than adapting a standard design, every vessel was engineered around the customer’s specific process, layout, and performance requirements.

From capacity and geometry through to connections and internal features, every detail is built to suit the application.

Make any tank robot-ready.

The GALA-KOOL Pro controller can be retrofitted to almost any existing dairy tank, enabling compatibility with robotic milking systems.

That means farms can prepare for robotic milking without replacing the vessel itself. Existing tanks gain modern cooling control, automated wash sequences, and reliable integration with robotic workflows.

A practical upgrade for progressive farms looking to modernise step-by-step, improve consistency, and extend the working life of their equipment.
