Hummus Packaging for Ontario 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.
The Toronto GTA is the largest food-production metro in Canada, with Mississauga, Brampton, and Scarborough hosting major co-packers and private-label manufacturers. Ontario's diverse population drives demand for Mediterranean, South Asian, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern food products — all packaged in cup format on the SDH-R. Hamilton, London, and Kitchener-Waterloo add dairy processing and prepared-meal production capacity. As a Canadian manufacturer, Hummus Pack offers Ontario producers zero import duties, CFIA-aligned hygiene design, and French-English bilingual documentation.
Hummus Packaging in Ontario: What Local Producers Should Know
Ontario's food sector runs from Leamington's greenhouses and the Holland Marsh vegetable fields to Niagara orchards and dairy farms across the south and east of the province. Its processors cluster around the Greater Toronto Area and the Golden Horseshoe, serving a huge, multicultural customer base: Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, South Asian, East Asian and Caribbean communities, large grocery chains, independent ethnic grocers and institutional foodservice. Labour and real estate are expensive, so automating cup filling and sealing can free floor space and people for higher-value work.
Ontario producers ship along the Highway 401 and 400-series corridors and cross into the United States at Windsor, Sarnia and Niagara. Product sold only inside the province answers to provincial rules, while interprovincial, import and export trade needs a CFIA Safe Food for Canadians licence. Cold winters and humid summers both stress the cold chain. For producers who also sell south of the border, the SDH-R's FDA-compliant food-contact materials, UL listing and tool-free strip-down are a practical starting point.

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

How the SDH-R Fills Hummus in Ontario
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 Ontario.
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 Ontario 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 Ontario.
