Pesto & Mediterranean Sauce Filling Machine in Jerusalem
SDH-R automatic mediterranean filling, sealing & cupping for Jerusalem food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
The Short Answer
Pesto filling machine in Jerusalem, 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. Jerusalem buyers order an SDH-R built in Calgary, with an 8-12 week lead time from order confirmation and direct support from our Calgary engineering team. Installation and training details for the CE-marked machine are confirmed in the quote.

Mediterranean Packaging for Jerusalem Producers
Jerusalem is home to Jerusalem-area traditional hummus and tahini producers. 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 Jerusalem: What Local Producers Should Know
Jerusalem sits in the Judean hills, and its food scene is shaped by Jewish, Arab and Armenian communities, the Old City markets and Mahane Yehuda. Many local makers of dips, salads, dairy and baked goods work at specialty or artisan scale, supplying grocers, restaurants, hotels and the steady flow of pilgrims and visitors, alongside product brought in from producers elsewhere in the country. Hummus, tahini and labneh are daily staples across communities. Production calendars bend around Shabbat and religious holidays, so automation that runs cleanly in compressed weeks and changes SKUs quickly earns its place.
The city's elevation brings cooler, wetter winters than the coast, with an occasional snowfall, and hot dry summers. Deliveries mostly travel the highway up from the coastal plain, so cold-chain discipline and a dependable cup seal matter on the climb. Food businesses fall under the Ministry of Health's National Food Service. The SDH-R's 304 stainless steel construction, CIP and tool-free strip-down, FDA-compliant materials, CE marking and tamper-evident roll-film seal give a compact producer a clean, documented process.

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
Delivery & Service to Jerusalem
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 Jerusalem
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 Jerusalem.
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 Jerusalem 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 Jerusalem and beyond.
