Mediterranean Packaging for Turkey 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.
Turkey's food industry is the largest in the Middle East and among the top ten worldwide. Istanbul, Izmir, and Gaziantep are major food-manufacturing hubs, with Gaziantep specifically renowned for its mezze, baklava, and prepared-food production. Turkey's EU Customs Union provides preferential trade access to the European market, making Turkish food exports to Germany, France, and the Netherlands significant. The SDH-R's CE marking and European electrical compatibility support this EU export orientation.
Pesto Packaging in Turkey: What Local Producers Should Know
Turkey has a large dairy and vegetable-processing sector and a food culture built on dips, spreads and cultured milk. Strained labne, cacik, haydari, ezme and tahini-based meze are everyday foods, and hummus now shares chilled shelves with them. Producers are concentrated around the Marmara region, the Aegean and central Anatolia, selling into national supermarket chains, discount formats, hotels and a busy tourism foodservice trade. A young, increasingly urban population is buying more ready-to-eat chilled food, while rising wage and input costs push processors away from hand-filling toward consistent automated cup lines.
Food businesses in Turkey operate under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Turkish Food Codex, so washdown design and clear hygiene routines carry weight. The SDH-R is built from 304 stainless steel with CIP and tool-free strip-down, uses FDA-compliant food-contact materials and is CE-marked. Its tamper-evident roll-film seal, with optional nitrogen MAP for longer refrigerated shelf life, suits the long summer hauls between Anatolia, the coast and the big city markets.

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 Turkey
Ocean freight to Istanbul (Ambarlı) or Mersin port. Typical delivery 10–14 weeks. CE marked for compatibility with Turkish food-safety regulations.

How the SDH-R Fills Mediterranean in Turkey
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 Turkey.
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 Turkey 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 Turkey.
