Pesto & Mediterranean Sauce Filling Machine in Israel
SDH-R automatic mediterranean filling, sealing & cupping for Israel food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
The Short Answer
Pesto filling machine in Israel: 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. For Israeli producers, the SDH-R is built in Calgary and delivered 8-12 weeks after order confirmation. Our Calgary engineering team supports it directly from Alberta, and installation and training details for the CE-marked machine are confirmed in the quote.

Mediterranean Packaging for Israel Producers
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.
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.
Pesto 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.

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.
SDH-R Configuration for Mediterranean
Service & Logistics in Israel
Ocean freight to Ashdod or Haifa port. Typical delivery 10–14 weeks. FDA and CE dual certification for producers exporting to USA and EU. Configurable for 230V/50Hz Israeli electrical standard.

How the SDH-R Fills Mediterranean 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 mediterranean packaging in Israel.
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, 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 mediterranean, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Israel.
