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

Mediterranean Packaging for Colorado & Mountain West 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.

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.

Purpose-Built for Mediterranean

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 Colorado & Mountain West

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 mediterranean packaging in Colorado & Mountain West.

2

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 Colorado & Mountain West 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 mediterranean, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Colorado & Mountain West.

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 mediterranean packaging meets Colorado & Mountain West regulatory requirements.
