Tomato Paste Production Line for Food Processing Plant Price

Product introduction from Tomato Paste Production Line

Tomato paste production line is widely used in food processing factories to transform fresh tomatoes and other fruits into concentrated products such as tomato paste, ketchup, sauces, and fruit jams.

The system supports both hot break and cold break processing technologies, allowing manufacturers to control viscosity, flavor, and color according to product requirements. It includes washing, crushing, juicing, evaporation, homogenization, sterilization, and aseptic filling systems.

With production capacities ranging from 100 kg/h to 30,000 kg/h, this line is suitable for small factories and large industrial plants requiring continuous and hygienic production.

Working principle

Step 1: Raw material receiving and washing
Fresh tomatoes and fruits are cleaned and sorted to remove impurities and defective materials.

Step 2: Crushing and preheating
Tomatoes are crushed into 3–5 mm pieces and preheated using tubular heating system.

Step 3: Juice extraction
Screw juicer or beater extracts juice while separating peel and seeds.

Step 4: Pulp processing (hot break or cold break)
Hot break increases viscosity; cold break preserves flavor and color.

Step 5: Evaporation and concentration
Vacuum evaporator removes water content to form concentrated paste.

Step 6: Homogenization and blending
Improves texture smoothness and ensures product stability.

Step 7: Sterilization (HTST process)
High-temperature short-time sterilization ensures food safety.

Step 8: Aseptic filling and packaging
Final product is filled into bags, bottles, cans, or pouches under sterile conditions.
