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

Nut Butters Packaging for Illinois & Midwest 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.

Chicago is the third-largest food manufacturing metro in the U.S., with a co-packing ecosystem that serves national brands and private-label retailers alike. Wisconsin is the leading dairy state, producing more cheese and yogurt than any other, while Michigan's food sector focuses on prepared meals and dip manufacturing. Ohio's Columbus and Cleveland corridors are home to national hummus and prepared-food distributors. The SDH-R's 30 CPM throughput matches the volume requirements of Midwest co-packers running multi-shift operations.

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 Illinois & Midwest

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 Illinois & Midwest.

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 Illinois & Midwest 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 Illinois & Midwest.

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 Illinois & Midwest regulatory requirements.
