Yogurt Packaging for Greece 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.
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.
Yogurt Cup Packaging in Greece: What Local Producers Should Know
Greece's food culture is built on yogurt, feta and other brined cheeses, olive oil, tomatoes, aubergines and pulses, so dips and spreads such as tzatziki, taramosalata, melitzanosalata and tirokafteri are everyday foods. The country has a well-developed dairy industry, many small and family-run processors, and an established food-export trade. Supermarkets, tavernas, hotels and a seasonal tourist economy all buy chilled cups. Seasonal staffing swings and labour costs are common headaches, which makes consistent automatic cup filling an attractive step for producers looking to grow.
Greek producers distribute across a mountainous mainland and many inhabited islands, so chilled goods often combine road freight with ferries. Summers are hot and dry, and peak tourist season strains cold storage. Producers follow Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on food hygiene and (EC) No 1935/2004 on food-contact materials, with the Hellenic Food Authority (EFET) as the national food-control body. The SDH-R's 304 stainless steel, CIP and tool-free strip-down suit those hygiene expectations.

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 Greece
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 Greece.
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 Greece 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 Greece.
