Foodmax Machines recently supplied a complete 500L/day milk to butter manufacturing plant to a family-run dairy farm on New Zealand’s South Island. Our butter line helped the client turn grass-fed raw milk into consistent, compliant butter for supermarkets, bakeries, and tourist retail shops. Since installation, the farm has cut labor time by more than half and passed local food safety inspection.

The Client: A Grass-Fed Dairy Farm Looking to Scale Up
The client, a small family-owned farm raising around 100 grass-fed dairy cows, had been separating cream and churning butter entirely by hand — over six hours a day, with inconsistent texture and no pasteurization equipment. Without compliant processing, sales were limited to weekend farmers’ markets only.
Looking to modernize without the cost of an imported European line, the client searched “making butter from raw milk” online and found Foodmax Machines. The client needed a turnkey system that could handle raw milk cooling, pasteurization, cream separation, and butter churning in one line. Our team followed up with several consultation calls. We understood their daily milk volume, seasonal fat content variation, target butter textures, and available space in an existing outbuilding.

Customized Butter Manufacturing Plant for New Zealand Dairy Farm
Different from large industrial equipment, our 500L/day milk to butter manufacturing plant adopts a compact modular design, perfectly fitting small dairy startups and family farms. We optimized the voltage system to adapt to local power supply and upgraded the energy-saving cooling system to suit local climate conditions. The making butter from raw milk solution includes:
- Pre-set 380V/50Hz local power, no extra wiring.
- Local-supported compressor, 22% lower power consumption.
- Full 304 stainless steel + CIP system for dairy hygiene standards.
- Adjustable separation & churning for dual butter types & seasonal fat changes.
- 21㎡ compact layout, fits existing workshops without renovation.
