SDH-R automatic nut butters filling, sealing & cupping for Spain food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
The Short Answer
Peanut butter filling machine in Spain: Peanut, almond and cashew butters go into pre-formed cups on the SDH-R in a single rotary pass, with a heat-sealed roll-film membrane and an optional snap-on lid. A volumetric piston suits dense pastes, and fill temperature for very stiff recipes is confirmed with our engineering team. 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.

Nut Butters Packaging for Spain Producers
Nut butters are among the thickest, most viscous products the SDH-R packages. Almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, and emerging alternatives like sunflower seed butter and tahini all require significant filling force, anti-stringing nozzle design, and oil separation management. The SDH-R's servo-driven piston delivers the force needed for cold nut butters while the agitated hopper prevents oil from pooling during long production runs.
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.
Peanut Butter 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.

Engineered for High-Viscosity Fills
High-Force Servo Piston
The servo motor delivers consistent force for ultra-thick nut butters that would stall pneumatic fillers. No air pressure fluctuations — every cup gets the same fill weight.
Anti-Separation Hopper
Continuous paddle agitation prevents natural peanut and almond butters from separating into oil and paste during filling runs.
Clean Cut-Off Technology
Nozzle and piston retraction sequence engineered for clean product cut-off, preventing stringing between cups — a common nut butter filling challenge.
Allergen-Safe Changeover
Full CIP wash and tool-free disassembly for validated allergen changeover between tree nuts, peanuts, and seed-based products.
SDH-R Configuration for Nut Butters
Service & Logistics in Spain
Ocean freight to Barcelona, Valencia, or Bilbao with inland delivery across Spain. Typical delivery 9–13 weeks. CE marked with Spanish-compatible electrical configuration.

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