Plant-Based Filling Machine in British Columbia
SDH-R automatic plant-based filling, sealing & cupping for British Columbia food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
Plant-Based Packaging for British Columbia 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.
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.

How the SDH-R Fills Plant-Based 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 plant-based packaging in British Columbia.
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 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 plant-based, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in British Columbia.
