Mediterranean Filling Machine in Illinois & Midwest
SDH-R automatic mediterranean filling, sealing & cupping for Illinois & Midwest food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
Mediterranean Packaging for Illinois & Midwest 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.
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 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 Illinois & Midwest
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 Illinois & Midwest.
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 Illinois & Midwest 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 Illinois & Midwest.
