Mr Harley was awarded the funding in May 2020 and it helped to buy two fully programmable tilting mixing kettles and an automated labelling machine.
The workers at Quincy Jones Jelly Preserves have now been using the equipment for two months.
And on Tuesday, January 19, they were able to show Federal Member for Farrer Sussan Ley the equipment in full operation.
“We’re excited because with these new machines we can introduce new recipes,” Mr Harley said.
“We are all about the small touch and this allows us to be a bit more professional about how we do that.
“We taught ourselves how to use them with the help of the distributors.
“We couldn’t be happier with it.”
Mr Harley said the funding was a timely boost during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It has pushed us forward about five years to where we would have been without it,” he said.
“It has enabled us to look for new markets. We can now offer a lot more to our customers going forward.
“Before everything was limited on a much smaller operation and this is only going to help us grow.
“The machine cooks things much more evenly, it is indirect heat, never ever burns in them.
“It has a mixing arm, so it saves a lot of wear and tear on us.”
