Hummus Packaging for Alberta Producers
Hummus is the SDH-R's signature product. The servo-driven volumetric piston filler handles classic, roasted garlic, roasted red pepper, lemon herb, and every other hummus variant with consistent fill weights and clean cup edges. Chickpea-based products have a medium-to-thick viscosity that the SDH-R's adjustable piston stroke manages precisely — from smooth restaurant-style hummus to chunky rustic blends with whole chickpeas and pine nuts.
Alberta's food manufacturing sector is anchored by dairy processors, prepared-meal companies, and a growing artisan food scene in Calgary and Edmonton. The province's strong agricultural base — canola, beef, dairy, honey — feeds directly into value-added food production. Calgary's Food and Beverage Processing Hub and Edmonton's food incubators support startups transitioning from hand-packing to automated production. As the machine's birthplace, Alberta is where every SDH-R is assembled, tested, and quality-checked before shipping worldwide.
Hummus Packaging in Alberta: What Local Producers Should Know
Alberta's food sector grows from beef, canola, wheat, barley and pulses, with irrigated vegetable, corn and sugar-beet land around Taber and Lethbridge in the south and fast-growing populations in Calgary and Edmonton. Producers make dairy, dips, sauces, ready meals and plant-based foods for Alberta grocery chains, restaurants and export. Newcomers from the Middle East, South Asia, the Philippines and China broaden demand for specialty fresh foods. Labour costs are rising, so automated cup filling and sealing helps small and mid-sized plants grow.
Alberta's highways, the Queen Elizabeth II between Calgary and Edmonton, Highway 1 east and west, and the Yellowhead, connect producers to BC ports and the Prairies. Cold winters and chinook swings in the south test the cold chain. Alberta Health Services oversees food premises in the province, while cups sold to other provinces or exported need a CFIA Safe Food for Canadians licence. The SDH-R's 304 stainless build, tool-free strip-down and tamper-evident roll-film seal suit these demands.

Why the SDH-R Excels at Hummus
Servo-Driven Piston Accuracy
Volumetric piston filling delivers ±0.5% weight accuracy across classic, chunky, and whipped hummus textures — critical for retail compliance and cost control.
Multi-Component Capability
Fill hummus base + olive oil drizzle + paprika garnish in a single cup pass. Up to three filler stations work simultaneously for layered presentations.
MAP Nitrogen Flushing
Modified Atmosphere Packaging replaces oxygen with nitrogen, extending refrigerated hummus shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days for retail distribution.
Quick Flavour Changeover
Switch between classic, garlic, jalapeño, roasted red pepper, and other flavours in under 15 minutes via PLC recipe recall and tool-free hopper swap.

How the SDH-R Fills Hummus in Alberta
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 hummus packaging in Alberta.
Servo-Driven Filling
The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of hummus 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 Alberta 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 hummus, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Alberta.
