SDH-R automatic plant-based filling, sealing & cupping for Auckland / New Zealand food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.

Plant-Based Packaging for Auckland / New Zealand Producers

The plant-based dip and spread market is projected to grow at 12%+ annually through 2030. Vegan cream cheese, cashew-based spreads, coconut yogurt, oat-based dips, and almond ricotta are entering retail at unprecedented rates. The SDH-R gives plant-based food startups and scaling brands the same automated cup-packaging capability that legacy dairy companies use — at an accessible $45,000 entry point.

New Zealand's dairy industry is the country's largest export earner, with Fonterra and smaller processors producing world-class dairy ingredients and finished products. Auckland's food-manufacturing sector serves the domestic NZ market and exports to Australia (NZ's largest trade partner under CER/ANZCERTA), Southeast Asia, and China. The growing NZ hummus market mirrors Australia's trajectory, with Countdown, New World, and PAK'nSAVE all expanding their fresh-dip ranges.

How the SDH-R Fills Plant-Based in Auckland / New Zealand

Fully automatic process — no manual labour required

1

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 — standard formats for plant-based packaging in Auckland / New Zealand.

2

Servo-Driven Filling

The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of plant-based and dispenses it into the cup. Servo control adjusts stroke length and speed per recipe, maintaining ±0.5% fill-weight accuracy across production runs for Auckland / New Zealand retail compliance.

3

Membrane Heat Sealing

Roll-stock film is drawn across the filled cup and heat-sealed to create a tamper-evident, airtight membrane. Temperature, pressure, and dwell time are individually controlled to match your specific film and cup material.

4

Snap-On Lid (Optional)

A pick-and-place mechanism applies a consumer-friendly snap-on lid over the membrane seal. This two-barrier system provides tamper evidence and reclosability — the standard expected by grocery retailers.

5

MAP Nitrogen Flush (Optional)

Modified Atmosphere Packaging replaces oxygen with food-grade nitrogen before sealing. For plant-based, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Auckland / New Zealand.

Compliance & Certifications: Every SDH-R machine ships with CE, FDA, and UL documentation. The 304 stainless-steel construction meets HACCP and BRCGS standards — ensuring your plant-based packaging meets Auckland / New Zealand regulatory requirements.
