Plant-Based Filling Machine in New York City
SDH-R automatic plant-based filling, sealing & cupping for New York City food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
Plant-Based Packaging for New York City Producers
New York City is home to Manhattan and Brooklyn artisan hummus, schmear, and Mediterranean-dip brands supplying the tri-state grocery trade. The SDH-R rotary plant-based filling, sealing & cupping machine gives these producers a single, compact line that automates cup denesting, volumetric filling, membrane sealing, lidding, and optional nitrogen flushing — without the labour cost of manual packing.
The plant-based dip and spread market is projected to grow at 12%+ annually through 2030. Vegan cream cheese, cashew-based spreads, coconut yogurt, oat-based dips, and almond ricotta are entering retail at unprecedented rates. The SDH-R gives plant-based food startups and scaling brands the same automated cup-packaging capability that legacy dairy companies use — at an accessible $45,000 entry point.
Why Plant-Based Brands Choose the SDH-R
Startup-Accessible Automation
At $45,000 for a single filler configuration, the SDH-R is within reach of VC-funded and bootstrapped plant-based startups scaling from farmers' markets to retail shelves.
Multi-Product Versatility
Fill cashew cream cheese, then coconut yogurt, then almond ricotta on the same machine. PLC recipe storage and 15-minute changeovers support multi-SKU product lines.
Allergen Segregation
Validated CIP and tool-free disassembly ensure complete cleaning between nut-based, soy-based, and oat-based products for allergen-safe production.
Clean Label Packaging
MAP nitrogen flushing extends shelf life without preservatives — aligning with the clean-label expectations of plant-based consumers.

How the SDH-R Fills Plant-Based in New York City
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 plant-based brands in New York City.
Servo-Driven Filling
The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of plant-based and dispenses it into the cup. Servo control adjusts stroke length and speed per recipe, holding ±0.5% fill-weight accuracy across every run for New York City 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 plant-based, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for distribution across New York City and beyond.
