Product introduction from Tomato Paste Processing Line
Tomato Paste Production Line is a fully automatic industrial system designed for processing fresh tomatoes into high-quality paste, ketchup, and sauce products.
The production line integrates washing, sorting, crushing, pulping, preheating, concentration, sterilization, and aseptic filling into a continuous system. It is widely used in food factories and large-scale tomato processing plants for commercial production.


Working principle
Step 1: Fresh tomatoes are received, lifted, and pre-washed
Step 2: Sorting system removes unqualified tomatoes and impurities
Step 3: Tomatoes are crushed and sent to pulping system
Step 4: Skin and seeds are separated through beating system
Step 5: Preheating system inactivates enzymes for quality stability
Step 6: Vacuum concentration system reduces water content to required level
Step 7: Sterilization system ensures microbial safety
Step 8: Aseptic filling system packages final tomato paste into containers
Product Parameter Table

| Tomato crushing machine | Crush the washed tomatoes to facilitate the later beating work |
| Tubular preheater | Increase temperature of slurry to achieve preheating, inactivating enzymes and protecting color |
| Tomato pulping machine | Pitting and beating fruits after pre-cooking. |
| Buffer tank | |
| Concentrator | |
| Tubular sterilizer | Sterilization of concentrated tomato paste |
| Finished tank | Ketchup cache after sterilization |
| Tomato paste packing machine | Ketchup packaging work |
COMPARISON MODULE
| Item | Tomato Paste Processing Line | Manual Processing |
|---|---|---|
| Production capacity | Up to 1500 tons/day | Very limited |
| Product quality | Stable and uniform | Inconsistent |
| Hygiene level | Closed sterile system | High contamination risk |
| Labor cost | Low automation cost | High manpower requirement |
| Concentration control | Precise 28%–38% | Unstable |
| Shelf life | Long via sterilization | Short storage time |
Conclusion: Automated processing significantly improves efficiency, safety, and commercial value.

Application Scenarios
- For tomato processing factories → unstable manual production → achieves continuous automated paste production
- For ketchup manufacturers → inconsistent product quality → ensures stable taste and uniform concentration
- For large food plants → low production efficiency → increases processing capacity up to 1500 tons/day
- For export food suppliers → short shelf life → extends preservation through sterilization and aseptic filling
- For agricultural processors → low tomato value → converts raw tomatoes into high-value paste products
- For beverage and sauce producers → limited product types → enables ketchup, juice, and sauce diversification
