Peanut Butter & Nut Butter Filling Machine in Florida
SDH-R automatic nut butters filling, sealing & cupping for Florida food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
The Short Answer
Peanut butter filling machine in Florida: Peanut, almond and cashew butters go into pre-formed cups on the SDH-R in a single rotary pass, with a heat-sealed roll-film membrane and an optional snap-on lid. A volumetric piston suits dense pastes, and fill temperature for very stiff recipes is confirmed with our engineering team. In Florida, every machine is built in Calgary and ships on an 8-12 week lead time from order confirmation, with support from our New Jersey service center, the nearest to the state, and a 12-month warranty.

Nut Butters Packaging for Florida 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.
Miami is both a food-production hub and a gateway for Latin American food exports. Tampa and Orlando host growing artisan food sectors, while Jacksonville serves as a logistics hub for southeastern distribution. Florida's warm climate makes MAP nitrogen flushing especially valuable — the SDH-R's optional MAP system reduces residual oxygen to 0.3–0.4%, extending refrigerated shelf life well beyond standard membrane-sealed products. This is critical for Florida producers distributing across the Southeast.
Peanut Butter Packaging in Florida: What Local Producers Should Know
Florida's food market mirrors its population: Cuban, Caribbean and Latin American communities in the south, Greek and Mediterranean roots around Tampa Bay, a large retiree base and year-round visitors. That mix sustains demand for dips, spreads, salsas, yogurts and sauces across grocery, foodservice, hotels and resorts. Citrus, strawberries, tomatoes, avocados and tropical fruit give regional food makers a local ingredient base. For producers still portioning by hand, automatic cup filling brings consistent fill weights, tamper-evident seals and relief from the hourly labor pressure of a fast-growing state.
Heat and humidity last most of the year, and hurricane season from June through November shapes inventory and downtime planning. Cold-chain freight moves along I-95, I-75 and the Florida Turnpike, with PortMiami, Port Everglades, Port Tampa Bay and JAXPORT handling seaborne cargo. Plants answer to FDA's FSMA Preventive Controls for Human Food rule (21 CFR Part 117) and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The SDH-R's food-grade 304 stainless steel and tool-free strip-down suit frequent washdowns.

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.
SDH-R Configuration for Nut Butters
Service & Logistics in Florida
Florida producers are served through our New Jersey service center, with freight delivery from Calgary typically arriving in 4–6 weeks via Gulf or East Coast ports. On-site commissioning and remote PLC support are included.

How the SDH-R Fills Nut Butters in Florida
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 nut butters packaging in Florida.
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 Florida 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 nut butters, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Florida.
