SDH-R automatic yogurt filling, sealing & cupping for Vancouver food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
The Short Answer

Vancouver producers get an SDH-R built in Calgary, delivered 8-12 weeks after order confirmation.

Yogurt Packaging for Vancouver Producers
Vancouver is home to Vancouver plant-based dip, vegan cream-cheese, and artisan-hummus brands. The SDH-R rotary yogurt 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.
The yogurt segment demands exceptional hygiene, precise fill weights for retail compliance, and the ability to handle viscosities ranging from pourable liquid yogurt to ultra-thick Greek strained yogurt. The SDH-R's servo-driven piston filler adapts stroke length and speed per product, while the 304 stainless steel construction and integrated CIP system meet the sanitation requirements of HACCP-certified dairy facilities.
Yogurt Cup Packaging in Vancouver: What Local Producers Should Know
Vancouver combines a Pacific-port economy with one of Canada's most varied customer bases: Chinese, South Asian, Persian, Japanese, Filipino and Vietnamese communities, a strong plant-based and wellness food culture, and a large tourism and restaurant trade. Producers in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley supply grocery chains, natural-food stores, ethnic markets and restaurants with chilled dips, sauces and dairy. Labour and industrial land are costly here, so a machine that automates filling, sealing and lidding is a practical alternative to adding shifts.
Container traffic through the Port of Vancouver, rail links to the Prairies and the Peace Arch crossing into Washington state give Lower Mainland producers wide reach. Rain, bridge congestion and mountain passes inland all affect delivery windows, so extended shelf life is valuable. Cups sold to other provinces or exported need a CFIA Safe Food for Canadians licence; sales within BC fall under regional health authority oversight. The SDH-R's optional MAP flush and tamper-evident roll-film seal help chilled cups travel.

Why Dairy Producers Choose the SDH-R
Dairy-Grade Hygiene
Full 304 stainless steel construction with integrated CIP (Clean-in-Place) system. Tool-free disassembly for daily sanitation. HACCP and BRCGS audit-ready.
Variable Viscosity Handling
The servo piston adapts to thin drinkable yogurts, standard set yogurts, thick Greek strained yogurt, and ultra-thick skyr — all on the same machine.
Fruit & Topping Layer
Multi-station filling enables yogurt base + fruit compote + granola topping in a single pass. Create premium layered products without manual labour.
Temperature-Controlled Filling
Jacketed hopper options maintain product temperature during filling — critical for live-culture yogurts that must stay below 4°C throughout packaging.

How the SDH-R Fills Yogurt in Vancouver
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 yogurt brands in Vancouver.
Servo-Driven Filling
The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of yogurt 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 Vancouver 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 yogurt, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for distribution across Vancouver and beyond.
