Mediterranean Packaging for Lebanon 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.
Lebanon's food industry — while smaller than Gulf competitors — is defined by its cultural authenticity and global brand recognition. "Lebanese food" is a premium positioning that commands shelf space worldwide. Beirut and Mount Lebanon host the majority of food producers, while Tripoli and the Bekaa Valley add agricultural processing capacity. Lebanese food exports reach the global diaspora — 14+ million Lebanese-origin people worldwide create sustained demand for authentic mezze products.
Pesto Packaging in Lebanon: What Local Producers Should Know
Lebanon is synonymous with mezze: hummus, moutabal, labneh, mhammara and toum are staples at home, in restaurants and across the diaspora that Lebanese food brands have long sold to. The Bekaa Valley is a major farming area, and food makers around Beirut and Mount Lebanon turn that produce into dips, dairy, sauces and prepared foods for retail, foodservice and export. Economic strain since 2019 has made imported inputs, currency swings and waste reduction pressing concerns, so accurate fill weights and dependable sealing carry real value.
Lebanon's Mediterranean coast is hot and humid in summer, while the mountains and the Bekaa run cooler, so chilled distribution has to cope with sharp changes over short distances. The port of Beirut and Rafic Hariri International Airport are the main gateways. Several government ministries share food oversight, so producers should confirm current requirements for their product and export markets. The SDH-R is built from 304 stainless steel with CIP, tool-free strip-down, FDA-compliant materials and CE marking.

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 Lebanon
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 Lebanon.
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 Lebanon 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 Lebanon.
