Guacamole Filling Machine in Colorado & Mountain West
SDH-R automatic guacamole filling, sealing & cupping for Colorado & Mountain West food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
Guacamole Packaging for Colorado & Mountain West Producers
Guacamole and avocado-based dips are among the most challenging products to package automatically. The product is delicate — chunks of avocado must not be crushed during filling — and extremely sensitive to oxidation, turning brown within hours without proper atmosphere control. The SDH-R addresses both challenges: the low-shear servo piston fills gently while integrated MAP nitrogen flushing removes oxygen to preserve the signature green colour and extend shelf life.
Boulder, Colorado is one of America's most concentrated natural-food startup hubs — home to dozens of brands that have scaled from local to national distribution. Denver's food incubator ecosystem supports startups transitioning from hand-packing to automated filling. Phoenix's affordable manufacturing space and logistics infrastructure make it a growing hub for Southwest food brands. The SDH-R's $45,000 entry price and small footprint make it the first automated machine for many of these scaling producers.
Why the SDH-R Protects Avocado Products
Low-Shear Gentle Filling
The servo-driven piston moves at controlled speed to fill chunky guacamole without crushing avocado pieces. Adjustable stroke rate preserves product texture.
MAP Prevents Browning
Nitrogen flushing displaces oxygen in the headspace before sealing. Guacamole maintains green colour and fresh flavour for 30–45 days vs. 3–5 days without MAP.
High-Speed Retail Packaging
Package guacamole into 4oz, 8oz, 12oz, or 16oz retail cups at 30 per minute — fast enough for co-packers supplying major grocery chains.
Easy Batch Changeover
Switch between mild, spicy, chunky, smooth, or flavoured guacamole variants in under 15 minutes with PLC-stored recipe parameters.

How the SDH-R Fills Guacamole in Colorado & Mountain West
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 guacamole packaging in Colorado & Mountain West.
Servo-Driven Filling
The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of guacamole 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 Colorado & Mountain West 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 guacamole, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Colorado & Mountain West.
