Tomato Paste Processing Line Solution Industrial System

Product introduction from Tomato Paste Processing Line

The tomato paste processing line is a fully automated industrial system engineered for large-scale tomato transformation into paste, puree, juice, and concentrate products.

With a processing capacity of 6 tons per hour, the system integrates washing, sorting, crushing, pre-heating, evaporation, sterilization, and aseptic drum filling. It is designed for continuous 24-hour production, ensuring stable output and consistent quality.

Built with SUS304 stainless steel and equipped with PLC automation, it meets international food safety standards while supporting energy-efficient and high-yield tomato processing operations.

Working principle

Step 1. Raw tomato reception and washing
Fresh tomatoes are received and cleaned using high-pressure water systems to remove impurities.

Step 2. Sorting and inspection
Defective or unqualified tomatoes are removed to ensure consistent raw material quality.

Step 3. Crushing and pulping
Tomatoes are crushed into slurry for further processing.

Step 4. Hot break heating process
Enzymes are inactivated to preserve color and viscosity of tomato paste.

Step 5. Pulp refining and separation
Skin, seeds, and solid particles are removed through refining equipment.

Step 6. Vacuum evaporation concentration
Water is removed under controlled conditions to achieve 28–30 Brix paste concentration.

Step 7. Sterilization process
High-temperature sterilization ensures microbial safety and product stability.

Step 8. Aseptic filling system
Final tomato paste is filled into aseptic drums (5–220L) for long-term storage.
