Yogurt Cup Filling Machine in Ontario
SDH-R automatic yogurt filling, sealing & cupping for Ontario food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
The Short Answer
Yogurt cup filling machine in Ontario: For yogurt, the SDH-R fills pre-formed cups in one rotary pass with up to three filling stations, so a fruit base, the yogurt and a topping can share a cup. Each cup is closed with a heat-sealed roll-film membrane, and an optional plastic lid completes the pack. Ontario producers get an SDH-R built in Calgary, with an 8-12 week lead time from order confirmation. Service and support run from our Calgary headquarters and Alberta service centre, factory-direct, with no import duties on a Canadian-built machine.

Yogurt Packaging for Ontario Producers
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.
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.
Yogurt Cup 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.

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 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 yogurt packaging in Ontario.
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, 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 yogurt, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Ontario.
