Baby Food & Infant Meal Filling Machine
The highest hygiene standards for the most demanding product category. The SDH-R packages baby food purées with pharma-grade sanitation and traceability.
Baby food is the most regulation-intensive category in cup-format food packaging. Every production run must meet the strictest hygiene standards, complete traceability from batch to individual cup, and allergen-control protocols that prevent cross-contamination. The SDH-R's 304 stainless steel construction, integrated CIP system, and PLC-based batch tracking deliver the compliance infrastructure that baby food producers require.
Safety-First Design for Infant Nutrition
Pharma-Grade Hygiene
Full 304 stainless steel with electropolished product-contact surfaces. CIP system cleans to dairy-grade standards. Tool-free disassembly for visual inspection.
Allergen Changeover Protocol
Complete strip-down and CIP wash between allergen groups. PLC prompts operator through validated changeover steps to prevent cross-contamination.
Batch Traceability
PLC logs batch number, fill weights, seal integrity, and timestamp for every production run. Exportable data supports HACCP and regulatory audit trails.
Gentle Purée Handling
Servo piston fills smooth purées and chunky textured meals without air incorporation. Consistent fill weights ±0.5% meet the tight tolerances required for infant portion sizes.

How the SDH-R Fills Baby Food
Fully automatic process from empty cup to sealed product — no manual labour required
Cup Denesting
Empty cups are automatically separated from a nested stack and placed into the rotary table carriers. The pneumatic denester handles round, square, and rectangular cups from 2oz to 32oz — ideal for the standard baby food cup formats your customers expect.
Servo-Driven Filling
The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of baby food and dispenses it into the cup. Servo control adjusts stroke length and speed per recipe, maintaining ±0.5% fill-weight accuracy across production runs. The PLC stores recipes for quick changeovers between product variants.
Membrane Heat Sealing
Roll-stock film is drawn across the filled cup and heat-sealed to create a tamper-evident, airtight membrane. Sealing temperature, pressure, and dwell time are individually controlled to match your specific film and cup material combination.
Snap-On Lid (Optional)
A pick-and-place mechanism applies a consumer-friendly snap-on plastic lid over the membrane seal. This two-barrier system provides both tamper evidence and reclosability — the standard expected by grocery retailers and foodservice distributors.
MAP Nitrogen Flush (Optional)
Modified Atmosphere Packaging replaces oxygen in the headspace with food-grade nitrogen immediately before sealing. For baby food, this typically extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — a requirement for most retail distribution channels.
