Pesto & Mediterranean Sauce Filling Machine in Amsterdam
SDH-R automatic mediterranean filling, sealing & cupping for Amsterdam food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
The Short Answer
Pesto filling machine in Amsterdam, Netherlands: Pesto, tapenade, harissa and chimichurri go into pre-formed cups on the SDH-R in a single rotary pass. A heat-sealed roll-film membrane closes each cup, and optional nitrogen MAP lowers residual oxygen to 0.3 to 0.4% to help protect the color and flavor of oil-rich sauces. In Amsterdam, the SDH-R is built in Calgary with an 8-12 week lead time from order confirmation, is CE-marked, and is supported directly by our Calgary engineering team. Installation and training details are confirmed in your quote.

Mediterranean Packaging for Amsterdam Producers
Amsterdam is home to Randstad plant-based dip and vegan cream-cheese innovators. The SDH-R rotary mediterranean 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.
Pesto and Mediterranean-style dips present a specific challenge: oil separation. Basil pesto, sun-dried tomato pesto, olive tapenade, and artichoke dips naturally separate into oil and paste phases during storage and handling. The SDH-R's continuous agitation hopper keeps the product homogeneous during filling, while the servo piston handles the oil-rich consistency without dripping or stringing between cups.
Pesto Packaging in Amsterdam: What Local Producers Should Know
Amsterdam is a compact, international city whose food scene leans towards plant-based, Middle Eastern, Indonesian, Surinamese and Mediterranean cooking, alongside Dutch dairy and cheese. Specialty grocers, health-food shops, supermarkets, cafés, office caterers and a large visitor trade keep chilled spreads, dips, sauces and snack cups in steady demand. Young food brands are a feature of the city's scene and often outgrow hand filling quickly, while Dutch labour costs are high. An automatic rotary line gives growing makers consistent portions, sealed cups and room to add flavours or sizes.
Amsterdam's canal-ring centre limits delivery vehicles, so chilled distribution usually runs from industrial areas near the port and the A10 ring road, with Schiphol close by for air freight. Producers follow Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on food hygiene under NVWA supervision, with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 for food-contact materials. The SDH-R is CE-marked, made from 304 stainless steel, and has an HMI that stores recipes, with SKU changeover in under about 15 minutes.

Purpose-Built for Oil-Based Pastes
Anti-Separation Agitation
The hopper includes a motorized paddle agitator that maintains product homogeneity, preventing oil from pooling on the surface during filling runs.
Drip-Free Cutting
The servo piston's precise retraction and nozzle design prevent oil-based products from stringing or dripping between cups, keeping cup rims clean for consistent sealing.
Herb & Nut Particulate Handling
Fills pesto with pine nuts, basil leaves, garlic pieces, and sun-dried tomato chunks up to 10mm without jamming the filling mechanism.
CE-Certified for EU Markets
Full CE marking for EU Machinery Directive compliance — serving Italian, French, Spanish, and Greek producers exporting across Europe.

How the SDH-R Fills Mediterranean in Amsterdam
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 mediterranean brands in Amsterdam.
Servo-Driven Filling
The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of mediterranean 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 Amsterdam 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 mediterranean, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for distribution across Amsterdam and beyond.
