Mediterranean Filling Machine in Pacific Northwest

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

Mediterranean Packaging for Pacific Northwest 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.

Portland and Seattle consistently rank among America's top cities for food innovation. Oregon's organic food sector is the largest per capita in the U.S., while Washington's food manufacturing includes major yogurt brands and a thriving artisan-spread sector. The SDH-R appeals to PNW producers who need the flexibility to run small artisan batches (100–500 cups) while having the throughput to scale up for retail distribution at 30 cups per minute.

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 Pacific Northwest

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 Pacific Northwest.

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 Pacific Northwest 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 Pacific Northwest.

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 Pacific Northwest regulatory requirements.
