Hummus Packaging for Israel Producers
Hummus is the SDH-R's signature product. The servo-driven volumetric piston filler handles classic, roasted garlic, roasted red pepper, lemon herb, and every other hummus variant with consistent fill weights and clean cup edges. Chickpea-based products have a medium-to-thick viscosity that the SDH-R's adjustable piston stroke manages precisely — from smooth restaurant-style hummus to chunky rustic blends with whole chickpeas and pine nuts.
Israel's hummus industry is the most advanced in the world — producing for a domestic market where average consumption exceeds 10kg per person per year and for export markets that generate hundreds of millions in annual revenue. Israeli food technology companies are among the most innovative globally, and the country's food producers demand equipment that delivers consistent quality at high volume. The SDH-R's servo-driven precision handles Israel's characteristically thick, textured hummus varieties without compromising fill-weight accuracy.
Hummus Packaging in Israel: What Local Producers Should Know
Hummus is a staple of Israeli tables, and the wider salatim spread of tahini, labneh, white cheeses, eggplant salads and matbucha keeps chilled dips on the menu at home and in restaurants. Israel also has a strong dairy tradition and a reputation for food technology and plant-based innovation. Producers supply supermarket chains, neighbourhood groceries, restaurants, hotels and institutional catering. Labour costs are high and the domestic market is compact, so quick changeovers between flavours and cup sizes matter as much as raw speed.
Israel's coastal plain has hot, humid summers and the Negev is hotter and drier, so chilled distribution runs on tight temperature control. Producers work under the Ministry of Health's National Food Service. Kashrut supervision, where a product needs it, is arranged by the producer and is separate from the machine; the SDH-R carries no such certification. It is built in 304 stainless steel with CIP and tool-free strip-down, uses FDA-compliant food-contact materials and is CE-marked, with a tamper-evident roll-film seal.

Why the SDH-R Excels at Hummus
Servo-Driven Piston Accuracy
Volumetric piston filling delivers ±0.5% weight accuracy across classic, chunky, and whipped hummus textures — critical for retail compliance and cost control.
Multi-Component Capability
Fill hummus base + olive oil drizzle + paprika garnish in a single cup pass. Up to three filler stations work simultaneously for layered presentations.
MAP Nitrogen Flushing
Modified Atmosphere Packaging replaces oxygen with nitrogen, extending refrigerated hummus shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days for retail distribution.
Quick Flavour Changeover
Switch between classic, garlic, jalapeño, roasted red pepper, and other flavours in under 15 minutes via PLC recipe recall and tool-free hopper swap.

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