Mediterranean Filling Machine in Northern Ireland
SDH-R automatic mediterranean filling, sealing & cupping for Northern Ireland food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
Mediterranean Packaging for Northern Ireland 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.
Northern Ireland's food and drink industry generates over £5B annually and is the region's largest manufacturing sector. The dairy industry — anchored by companies across County Tyrone, County Antrim, and County Down — is Northern Ireland's food powerhouse. Belfast's emerging food scene and Derry's artisan producers add innovation. The Windsor Framework's dual-market access is a significant competitive advantage for food producers who can serve UK and EU customers from a single production facility.
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 Northern Ireland
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 Northern Ireland.
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 Northern Ireland 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 Northern Ireland.
