Hilda introduces linear cup filling machine at Anuga Foodtec 2026

Hilda Automation showcased its latest liquid packaging technology at Anuga Foodtec India 2026 in New Delhi. The Mumbai-based manufacturer introduced an automatic two-head linear cup filling and sealing machine designed to handle diverse dairy and beverage products including lassi, curd, yoghurt, shrikhand, and milk products.

The featured model, which was launched in 2023, was engineered to meet specific output requirements for indigenous Indian brands. The unit utilised a piston filling system and two-head sealing mechanism, operating at production speeds ranging from 22 to 26 cpm for 200-ml volumes. The equipment accommodated cup diameters between 50-mm and 80-mm with the use of change parts, though the display model focused on the 72-mm to 73-mm standard.

The machine offered flexibility in volume management, featuring dedicated heads for 200-ml and 400-ml filling. While the system could run different products at various intervals, it was designed to operate one specific volume at a time to maintain precision. For instance, when the 200-ml cycle was active, the 400-ml head remained blank. The machinery was compatible with high-density polyethylene and polyester materials, and could also process biodegradable substrates.

A company representative noted that while many manufacturers produced similar machinery, the firm lays special focus on its after-sales infrastructure. The company maintains a technical team of 56 personnel and an after-sales service department of 22 people stationed across India to address machine issues.

Hilda Automation operates five manufacturing units in Rabale, with additional facilities located in Vasai and Rabale. The company’s research and development department provides retrofitting and modification services for clients who required higher output levels beyond the basic investment tier.
