SDH-R automatic mediterranean filling, sealing & cupping for Sydney / New South Wales food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
The Short Answer
Pesto filling machine in New South Wales: Pesto, tapenade, harissa and chimichurri go into pre-formed cups on the SDH-R in a single rotary pass. A heat-sealed roll-film membrane closes each cup, and optional nitrogen MAP lowers residual oxygen to 0.3 to 0.4% to help protect the color and flavor of oil-rich sauces. In New South Wales, the SDH-R is built in Calgary and delivered 8-12 weeks after order confirmation. Our Calgary engineering team provides direct support, the machine is CE-marked, and installation and training details are confirmed in your quote.

Mediterranean Packaging for Sydney / New South Wales Producers
Pesto and Mediterranean-style dips present a specific challenge: oil separation. Basil pesto, sun-dried tomato pesto, olive tapenade, and artichoke dips naturally separate into oil and paste phases during storage and handling. The SDH-R's continuous agitation hopper keeps the product homogeneous during filling, while the servo piston handles the oil-rich consistency without dripping or stringing between cups.
Sydney's food manufacturing sector produces for Australia's two largest retailers — Coles and Woolworths — which together control over 65% of the grocery market. Western Sydney's industrial corridors in Wetherill Park, Smithfield, and Blacktown host hummus and dip manufacturers operating under strict HACCP and SQF certification. NSW also has Australia's largest multicultural population, driving demand for Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian-fusion dip products.
Pesto Packaging in New South Wales: What Local Producers Should Know
New South Wales combines the country's most populous consumer market in Sydney with varied growing regions: the Riverina, where Griffith's Italian heritage shaped local food, Hunter Valley wine and dairy, Orange's orchards, and the Northern Rivers, home to a health-food and plant-based scene. Lebanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Greek and Vietnamese communities keep demand high for fresh dips, spreads, dairy and sauces in cups. Producers sell through supermarkets, independents, markets and a large cafe and catering trade, and rising wage and rent pressure push many toward automation.
Sydney's Port Botany and Kingsford Smith Airport anchor trade, while the Hume, Pacific and Newell highways carry chilled product south, north and inland. Coastal humidity gives way to serious heat inland, which tests any cold chain. The NSW Food Authority and local councils administer food safety within the FSANZ Food Standards Code. The SDH-R's 304 stainless steel, tool-free strip-down, optional CIP, tamper-evident roll-film seal and optional nitrogen MAP suit that framework.

Purpose-Built for Oil-Based Pastes
Anti-Separation Agitation
The hopper includes a motorized paddle agitator that maintains product homogeneity, preventing oil from pooling on the surface during filling runs.
Drip-Free Cutting
The servo piston's precise retraction and nozzle design prevent oil-based products from stringing or dripping between cups, keeping cup rims clean for consistent sealing.
Herb & Nut Particulate Handling
Fills pesto with pine nuts, basil leaves, garlic pieces, and sun-dried tomato chunks up to 10mm without jamming the filling mechanism.
CE-Certified for EU Markets
Full CE marking for EU Machinery Directive compliance — serving Italian, French, Spanish, and Greek producers exporting across Europe.

How the SDH-R Fills Mediterranean in Sydney / New South Wales
Fully automatic process — 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 — standard formats for mediterranean packaging in Sydney / New South Wales.
Servo-Driven Filling
The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of mediterranean 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 Sydney / New South Wales retail compliance.
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.
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.
MAP Nitrogen Flush (Optional)
Modified Atmosphere Packaging replaces oxygen with food-grade nitrogen before sealing. For mediterranean, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Sydney / New South Wales.
