Contract Manufacturing & Ingredient Processing
Your Surplus, Our Expertise.
Large-Volume, HACCP-Accredited Processing for Food Brands, Growers & Ingredient Manufacturers
Transform your agricultural surplus into premium, shelf-stable ingredients—minimising waste and maximising value.
How We Help You
We provide large-volume contract drying and milling services for growers, food and beverage brands, and businesses looking to turn surplus into a genuine ingredient stream. Backed by HACCP-accredited processes and purpose-built industrial equipment, we transform what might otherwise go to waste into whole-food fibres and bioactive ingredients ready for reintroduction into your products.
What We Offer
- Custom Drying & Milling Solutions Controlled, food-safe processing that preserves nutritional integrity, colour, and functionality across a range of fruit and agricultural surplus streams. We never freeze-dry, which means our powders are considerably easier to work with.
-
Batch Sizes & Capacity
- Minimum drying run: varies depending on fresh material per batch
- Minimum milling run: 1 tonne dry material
- Scalable to full production capacity for ongoing supply contracts
- Best suited to growers, processors, and brands with consistent or high-volume surplus streams
- Packaging & Further Processing Bulk return packaging, milling into fine whole-food powders, and blending capability for custom ingredient formats.
- Quality & Standards HACCP-accredited, food-safe, and traceable from intake through to finished ingredient—consistency and compliance are built into every batch.
How It Works
- Initial Consultation & Volume Assessment Tell us about your surplus stream, its moisture content, and your target volumes. We'll confirm whether your material meets our minimum thresholds and recommend the right processing pathway.
- Drying & Milling Your material is processed through our industrial low temperature drying and milling equipment at our Murwillumbah facility, engineered for large, consistent batch runs.
- Finished Form & Packaging Options include bulk returns, whole-food powders, or custom blends, packaged to your specification.
- Delivery / Handover Final quality checks and packing ahead of dispatch or collection. Turnaround depends on batch size and will be confirmed at consultation.
Who We Work With
- Growers and processors with consistent, high-volume surplus streams
- Food and beverage brands seeking whole-food fibre ingredients at scale
- Businesses with agricultural by-products seeking a circular disposal and value-recovery pathway
- Ingredient manufacturers looking for a reliable, accredited processing partner
Important to Know
Our equipment is built for volume. We're best suited to surplus streams that can consistently meet higher thresholds. High-moisture materials will need proportionally larger fresh volumes to reach our minimums after drying. If your volumes fall below this, we may not be the right fit—get in touch and we can point you toward a better-suited processor.
