Pesto & Mediterranean Sauce Filling Machine in Surrey
SDH-R automatic mediterranean filling, sealing & cupping for Surrey food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
The Short Answer
Pesto filling machine in Surrey, BC: 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 Surrey, the SDH-R is built in Calgary and delivered on an 8-12 week lead time. We support Lower Mainland customers from our Calgary headquarters and Alberta service centre, factory-direct, with no import duties on a Canadian-built machine.

Mediterranean Packaging for Surrey Producers
Surrey is home to Fraser Valley co-packers and South-Asian specialty-food producers. The SDH-R rotary mediterranean filling, sealing & cupping machine gives these producers a single, compact line that automates cup denesting, volumetric filling, membrane sealing, lidding, and optional nitrogen flushing — without the labour cost of manual packing.
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.
Pesto Packaging in Surrey: What Local Producers Should Know
Surrey is one of Metro Vancouver's largest and fastest-changing cities, with a big Punjabi and wider South Asian community alongside Filipino, Korean and Middle Eastern residents. That supports a busy ethnic grocery and restaurant sector, and farmland in Cloverdale and neighbouring Langley and Delta supplies fresh ingredients. Industrial parks near the Fraser River and Highway 15 host food processors serving Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Industrial space is more affordable than in Vancouver proper, but labour is tight, which is where automated cup filling helps.
Surrey is a trucking crossroads: Highway 99 runs to the Peace Arch crossing, Highway 15 to the Pacific Highway crossing, and Highway 1 east into the Fraser Valley, with the Roberts Bank terminals nearby. Producers shipping across provinces or abroad need a CFIA Safe Food for Canadians licence, and US-bound loads add their own requirements. The SDH-R's FDA-compliant food-contact materials, tool-free strip-down and tamper-evident roll-film seal fit that cross-border mindset.

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 Surrey
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 brands in Surrey.
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, holding ±0.5% fill-weight accuracy across every run for Surrey 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 distribution across Surrey and beyond.
