Nut Butters Filling Machine in California

SDH-R automatic nut butters filling, sealing & cupping for California food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.

Nut Butters Packaging for California Producers

Nut butters are among the thickest, most viscous products the SDH-R packages. Almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, and emerging alternatives like sunflower seed butter and tahini all require significant filling force, anti-stringing nozzle design, and oil separation management. The SDH-R's servo-driven piston delivers the force needed for cold nut butters while the agitated hopper prevents oil from pooling during long production runs.

California's $50B+ food industry spans everything from organic startups in Los Angeles to large-scale co-packers in the Central Valley. The state's plant-based food sector alone is valued at over $2B, making it the ideal market for the SDH-R's versatile cup-format filling. Whether you're a Whole Foods supplier in San Francisco or a Costco co-packer in Fresno, the SDH-R scales from artisan batches to retail-volume production.

Purpose-Built for Nut Butters

Engineered for High-Viscosity Fills

High-Force Servo Piston

The servo motor delivers consistent force for ultra-thick nut butters that would stall pneumatic fillers. No air pressure fluctuations — every cup gets the same fill weight.

Anti-Separation Hopper

Continuous paddle agitation prevents natural peanut and almond butters from separating into oil and paste during filling runs.

Clean Cut-Off Technology

Nozzle and piston retraction sequence engineered for clean product cut-off, preventing stringing between cups — a common nut butter filling challenge.

Allergen-Safe Changeover

Full CIP wash and tool-free disassembly for validated allergen changeover between tree nuts, peanuts, and seed-based products.

How the SDH-R Fills Nut Butters in California

Fully automatic process — no manual labour required

1

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 nut butters packaging in California.

2

Servo-Driven Filling

The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of nut butters 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 California retail compliance.

3

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.

4

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.

5

MAP Nitrogen Flush (Optional)

Modified Atmosphere Packaging replaces oxygen with food-grade nitrogen before sealing. For nut butters, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in California.

Compliance & Certifications: Every SDH-R machine ships with CE, FDA, and UL documentation. The 304 stainless-steel construction meets HACCP and BRCGS standards — ensuring your nut butters packaging meets California regulatory requirements.
