Plant-Based Filling Machine in Greece

SDH-R automatic plant-based filling, sealing & cupping for Greece food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.

Plant-Based Packaging for Greece Producers

The plant-based dip and spread market is projected to grow at 12%+ annually through 2030. Vegan cream cheese, cashew-based spreads, coconut yogurt, oat-based dips, and almond ricotta are entering retail at unprecedented rates. The SDH-R gives plant-based food startups and scaling brands the same automated cup-packaging capability that legacy dairy companies use — at an accessible $45,000 entry point.

Greece's food industry punches above its weight in global exports — Greek yogurt alone is a multi-billion dollar international category. The Thessaloniki-Serres dairy corridor produces much of Europe's strained yogurt, while Athens and Piraeus are export hubs for Mediterranean dips shipped worldwide. Greek PDO and PGI designations (e.g., Kalamata olive products, Santorini fava) add premium positioning that commands automated packaging to maintain quality and consistency at scale.

Purpose-Built for Plant-Based

Why Plant-Based Brands Choose the SDH-R

Startup-Accessible Automation

At $45,000 for a single filler configuration, the SDH-R is within reach of VC-funded and bootstrapped plant-based startups scaling from farmers' markets to retail shelves.

Multi-Product Versatility

Fill cashew cream cheese, then coconut yogurt, then almond ricotta on the same machine. PLC recipe storage and 15-minute changeovers support multi-SKU product lines.

Allergen Segregation

Validated CIP and tool-free disassembly ensure complete cleaning between nut-based, soy-based, and oat-based products for allergen-safe production.

Clean Label Packaging

MAP nitrogen flushing extends shelf life without preservatives — aligning with the clean-label expectations of plant-based consumers.

How the SDH-R Fills Plant-Based in Greece

Fully automatic process — no manual labour required

1

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 plant-based packaging in Greece.

2

Servo-Driven Filling

The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of plant-based 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 Greece retail compliance.

3

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.

4

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.

5

MAP Nitrogen Flush (Optional)

Modified Atmosphere Packaging replaces oxygen with food-grade nitrogen before sealing. For plant-based, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Greece.

Compliance & Certifications: Every SDH-R machine ships with CE, FDA, and UL documentation. The 304 stainless-steel construction meets HACCP and BRCGS standards — ensuring your plant-based packaging meets Greece regulatory requirements.
