Hummus Packaging for British Columbia 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.
Vancouver's food scene is one of the most diverse in the world, blending Asian, South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Pacific Northwest influences. The Fraser Valley's agricultural base supports dairy, berry, and organic food production. BC has the highest per-capita demand for plant-based food in Canada, making it a key market for vegan dip and spread producers. Kelowna's Okanagan Valley adds artisan food production linked to the wine and hospitality industry.
Hummus Packaging in British Columbia: What Local Producers Should Know
British Columbia's food industry is shaped by geography: dairy, poultry, berries and vegetables in the Fraser Valley, orchards and wineries in the Okanagan, seafood on the coast, and artisan makers across Vancouver Island. Shoppers are drawn to natural, plant-forward and locally made foods, and the province's South Asian, Chinese, Japanese, Persian and Middle Eastern communities add demand for dips, sauces and cultured dairy. High land, wage and housing costs in the Lower Mainland push producers toward automation, and cup-packed chilled foods suit both retail and busy foodservice.
Mountains define BC logistics: highways and rail lines cross passes that can close in winter storms or after flooding, ferries link Vancouver Island, and the Port of Vancouver connects producers to Asia. Sales within the province answer to provincial and regional health authority rules, while shipments to other provinces or abroad need a CFIA Safe Food for Canadians licence. The SDH-R's optional MAP, tamper-evident seal and CIP-ready 304 stainless design suit producers sending chilled cups on long hauls.

How the SDH-R Fills Hummus in British Columbia
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 British Columbia.
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 British Columbia 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 British Columbia.
