Hummus Filling & Packaging

Classic, Flavored & Layered Hummus

The SDH-R was purpose-built for hummus production. Its volumetric piston filler handles the thick, paste-like consistency of hummus with precision, ensuring uniform cup weights from classic plain hummus to multi-layered varieties with olive oil, pine nuts, or spice garnishes on top. The optional MAP nitrogen flushing extends shelf life by reducing residual oxygen to as low as 0.3%, critical for maintaining freshness in refrigerated hummus products distributed across retail channels.

Consistent fill weights for thick paste
Multi-layer filling (hummus + garnish + oil)
MAP for 30+ day refrigerated shelf life
Handles 4oz to 32oz cup sizes

Salsa Filling & Packaging

Fresh, Chunky & Smooth Salsa

Whether you produce restaurant-style smooth salsa or chunky pico de gallo, the SDH-R's adjustable piston filler accommodates varying viscosities and particulate sizes without crushing delicate tomato pieces. The rotary design maintains gentle product handling while achieving throughput of up to 25 cups per minute for salsa products. The PLC system allows quick recipe changeovers between mild, medium, and hot varieties.

Gentle handling of chunky particles
Quick changeover between recipes
Hot-fill capable for shelf-stable lines
Consistent fill levels across viscosities

Pesto Filling & Packaging

Basil, Sun-Dried Tomato & Specialty Pestos

Pesto's oil-rich, semi-viscous nature requires a filler designed for precision without dripping or stringing. The SDH-R's cut-off nozzle and suck-back system ensure clean, drip-free fills every cycle—critical for pesto where oil separation can create messy packaging. From classic Genovese basil pesto to sun-dried tomato, kale, or walnut-based artisan varieties, the machine adapts to your recipe.

Drip-free cut-off nozzle technology
Suck-back prevents stringing
Handles oil-rich, variable-viscosity products
Ideal for premium artisan brands

Dips & Sauces Filling

Tzatziki, Ranch, Guacamole, BBQ & More

The dips and sauces market demands versatility—from creamy tzatziki and ranch to thick guacamole and chunky artichoke dip. The SDH-R's modular filler design means you can switch between smooth and particulate products with minimal downtime. The CIP (Clean-in-Place) system enables fast, thorough sanitation between product runs, essential for allergen management in multi-product facilities.

Fast CIP changeover between products
Allergen management capability
Smooth and particulate compatibility
Consistent portioning for food service packs

Yogurt Cup Filling

Greek, Flavored & Layered Yogurt

Yogurt filling requires temperature control awareness and gentle handling to preserve live cultures and maintain smooth texture. The SDH-R's servo-driven piston ensures consistent, aerated-product-friendly fills whether you're producing Greek yogurt, fruit-on-the-bottom layers, or protein-enriched varieties. The optional second filler adds fruit compote, granola, or honey into separated compartments.

Gentle fill preserves live cultures
Dual-filler for fruit-on-bottom layers
Temperature-sensitive product handling
Ideal for Greek and protein yogurt lines

Prepared Salads & Grain Bowls

Pasta Salad, Grain Bowls & Coleslaws

Prepared salads present unique filling challenges: varied particulate sizes, dressing-coated ingredients, and presentation requirements. The SDH-R's garnish filler option allows layered assembly—base salad on bottom, proteins or toppings on top—replicating the visual appeal that drives grab-and-go sales in deli and retail settings.

Garnish filler for toppings
Deli-ready presentation in pre-formed cups

Sauces & Condiments

Pasta Sauce, Marinara, Aioli & Specialty Condiments

From thin vinaigrettes to thick marinara, the SDH-R's peristaltic pump option handles the full viscosity spectrum of sauces and condiments. The weight checker with feedback loop ensures compliance with net weight regulations—critical for retail-packaged sauces where under-filling risks regulatory penalties and over-filling erodes margins.
