Yogurt Packaging for Ottawa Producers
Ottawa is home to Ottawa-area specialty-food and prepared-dip producers. 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 Ottawa: What Local Producers Should Know
Ottawa's food market serves a federal-government workforce, two large universities, hospitals, embassies and a bilingual customer base that reaches across the river to Gatineau. Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley add dairy and cheese-making traditions, market gardens and maple, and the ByWard Market and neighbourhood farmers' markets favour small-batch, locally made products. Lebanese and other Arabic-speaking communities, alongside many newer arrivals, widen demand for dips and spreads. Local brands that outgrow hand-filling can add capacity without building a large packing crew.
Ottawa sits where Highways 417 and 416 meet, with Gatineau directly across the Ottawa River, so many producers sell into both Ontario and Quebec. That makes interprovincial rules routine: a CFIA Safe Food for Canadians licence, and English and French labelling. The CFIA itself is headquartered in the capital. Winters are long and cold, so chilled loads need protection. The SDH-R supports labelling equipment integration, and its tamper-evident roll-film seal and 304 stainless build suit chilled regional distribution.

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 Ottawa
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 Ottawa.
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 Ottawa 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 Ottawa and beyond.
