Tahini & Labneh Filling Machine in Spain
SDH-R automatic middle eastern filling, sealing & cupping for Spain food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
The Short Answer
Tahini and labneh filling machine in Spain: The SDH-R packs labneh, tahini, baba ganoush, muhammara and toum into pre-formed 4 to 16 oz cups in one rotary pass. A servo piston handles thick strained cheese and pourable tahini alike, and a roll-film membrane gives each cup a tamper-evident heat seal. For Spanish producers, the SDH-R is built in Calgary and ships on an 8–12 week lead time from order confirmation. Our Calgary engineering team supports the CE-marked machine directly, and installation and training details are confirmed in the quote.

Middle Eastern Packaging for Spain Producers
Labneh, tahini, baba ganoush, muhammara, and hummus are the cornerstone products of Middle Eastern food culture — and increasingly, global food culture. The SDH-R is the machine of choice for Middle Eastern food producers scaling from artisan production to retail and export volumes. It handles the full viscosity range from thin tahini to thick strained labneh, with MAP options for the 30–45 day shelf life required by overseas distributors.
Spain is the EU's fourth-largest food manufacturer, with Catalonia, Valencia, Andalusia, and Madrid as primary production hubs. The Spanish hummus market has grown by 15%+ annually since 2020, driven by Mercadona, Carrefour España, and Lidl expanding their fresh-dip aisles. Gazpacho in cup format is a uniquely Spanish category with no equivalent elsewhere in Europe. Barcelona's food innovation ecosystem and Valencia's horticultural sector drive new product development in fresh sauces and plant-based dips.
Tahini & Labneh Packaging in Spain: What Local Producers Should Know
Spain is one of Europe's major food producers, drawing on olive oil, tomatoes, peppers, fruit and vegetables, and a Mediterranean diet that suits dips, sauces and cold dishes such as gazpacho and romesco. Dairy is strongest along the green northern coast in Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria, while the Mediterranean fringe supplies produce for processors. Supermarkets, a large tourism-driven hospitality sector and growing interest in vegetarian and plant-based eating all create demand for chilled cups. Because labour costs and seasonal swings in demand push producers towards automation, a rotary filler offers consistent fill weights and repeatable packing.
Spain's long coastline, the ports of Valencia, Barcelona and Algeciras, and radial motorways from Madrid carry chilled goods to Iberian and wider European markets. Hot summers, particularly in the south and interior, make the cold chain a daily concern. Producers work under Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on food hygiene and (EC) No 1935/2004 on food-contact materials, with AESAN and regional health authorities involved in oversight. The SDH-R's 304 stainless steel, CIP and tool-free strip-down suit that regime.

How the SDH-R Fills Middle Eastern in Spain
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 middle eastern packaging in Spain.
Servo-Driven Filling
The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of middle eastern 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 Spain 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 middle eastern, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Spain.
