Mediterranean Packaging for Tel Aviv Producers
Tel Aviv is home to Israel’s world-leading hummus exporters — classic and flavoured variants. 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 Tel Aviv: What Local Producers Should Know
Tel Aviv anchors the Gush Dan metropolitan area, Israel's densest consumer market, with a restaurant, cafe and delivery scene known for hummus, tahini and a strong plant-based following. Food-tech start-ups and small-batch makers launch new dips, spreads and plant-based products here and need cup filling that scales from pilot runs to regional distribution. Supermarket chains, neighbourhood grocers and meal-delivery services drive volume. High wages and rents make labour-light lines attractive, and fast SKU changeovers help brands that rotate flavours often.
Summers in Tel Aviv are hot and humid, which puts pressure on every link of the chilled chain from dock to shelf. Ben Gurion Airport sits close by, and the ports of Ashdod and Haifa serve the wider coast. Producers work under the Ministry of Health's National Food Service. The SDH-R's 304 stainless steel, CIP and tool-free strip-down, FDA-compliant food-contact materials and CE marking sit alongside a tamper-evident roll-film seal and optional nitrogen MAP for longer refrigerated shelf life.

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.

How the SDH-R Fills Mediterranean in Tel Aviv
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 Tel Aviv.
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 Tel Aviv 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 Tel Aviv and beyond.
