Hummus Packaging for Quebec 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.
Montreal and Laval host major dairy processors, yogurt brands, and Mediterranean food producers. Quebec City and Lévis are home to artisan cheese and dairy co-packers. The province's strong French culinary heritage drives innovation in premium cup-packaged products like crème fraîche, artisan fromage frais, and flavored yogurts. Quebec producers benefit from CFIA-aligned hygiene design, bilingual documentation, and zero customs duties as a Canadian-manufactured machine.
Hummus Packaging in Quebec: What Local Producers Should Know
Quebec has a long food-processing tradition built on dairy and cheese-making, maple, orchards, greenhouse vegetables and distinctive bakery and charcuterie cultures. Montreal's Lebanese, Greek, Italian, Moroccan and Haitian communities add Mediterranean and Middle Eastern tastes, while shoppers across the province show strong loyalty to locally made products. Regional producers in the Eastern Townships, Montérégie and Chaudière-Appalaches often run lean teams, so automating the fill, seal and lid steps lets them keep up with grocery, cafe and foodservice orders while holding portion weights steady.
Quebec producers move goods along Highways 20 and 40, the St. Lawrence ports and rail links to Ontario, the Maritimes and the northeastern United States. Food sold within the province is overseen by MAPAQ, and sales to other provinces or abroad need a CFIA Safe Food for Canadians licence. French-language labelling is required on packaged food. The SDH-R can be paired with labelling equipment, and its tamper-evident roll-film seal and 304 stainless build suit chilled distribution.

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