Yogurt Filling Machine in California

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

Yogurt Packaging for California Producers

The yogurt segment demands exceptional hygiene, precise fill weights for retail compliance, and the ability to handle viscosities ranging from pourable liquid yogurt to ultra-thick Greek strained yogurt. The SDH-R's servo-driven piston filler adapts stroke length and speed per product, while the 304 stainless steel construction and integrated CIP system meet the sanitation requirements of HACCP-certified dairy facilities.

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 Yogurt

Why Dairy Producers Choose the SDH-R

Dairy-Grade Hygiene

Full 304 stainless steel construction with integrated CIP (Clean-in-Place) system. Tool-free disassembly for daily sanitation. HACCP and BRCGS audit-ready.

Variable Viscosity Handling

The servo piston adapts to thin drinkable yogurts, standard set yogurts, thick Greek strained yogurt, and ultra-thick skyr — all on the same machine.

Fruit & Topping Layer

Multi-station filling enables yogurt base + fruit compote + granola topping in a single pass. Create premium layered products without manual labour.

Temperature-Controlled Filling

Jacketed hopper options maintain product temperature during filling — critical for live-culture yogurts that must stay below 4°C throughout packaging.

How the SDH-R Fills Yogurt 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 yogurt packaging in California.

2

Servo-Driven Filling

The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of yogurt 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 yogurt, 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 yogurt packaging meets California regulatory requirements.
