Fresh Tomato Paste Processing Production Line 100T/D High Efficiency Energy Saving

100T/D High-Efficiency And Energy-Saving Tomato Paste Processing Production Line

Product description of tomato processing plant

Tomato processing lines can produce various related products. Such as sauce, ketchup, puree, and tomato juice processing lines that produce final products from fresh tomatoes to aseptic bag containers.

The production line mainly includes a modern tomato infusion system, cleaning system, distribution system, crushing system, pulping and refining system, filtration system, concentration system, sterilization system, and aseptic filling system.

Aseptic barrel bag tomato paste is processed into tomato paste, sauce and water, and filled into bags, bottom block bags, containers, PP containers, containers, gable lids, etc.

Main parameters of tomato production line

Key process of the tomato paste processing line

Now Shanghai Gofun machinery company will introduce the information of tomato paste processing line to show it works.

1. Discharge platform

Due to the large size of fresh tomatoes, heavy trucks are often required for transportation, making direct stocking difficult. However, we can utilize water guns to remove fresh fruit/tomatoes from the truck for easier supply. Additionally, we can use drying racks to pre-wash fresh fruit/tomatoes for processing prior to processing.

2. Elevator

This machine is used to delivery fresh fruit from outside the building to inside.

3. Washing

To ensure that fresh fruit is thoroughly cleaned before it goes bad, consider using a foam washer in conjunction with a washing machine for cleaning. If higher cleaning results are required, additional cleaning space can be added. In addition, ultrasonic cleaning and ozone cleaning can also be combined to improve the cleaning effect.

4. Sorting

After washing, the surface of the fruit is clean, we can check the situation of all the fruit by human eye, and sort out the bad tomatoes by human.

5. Crushing for tomato processing

The GFM-FC crushing series has sophisticated performance principle, excellent precision structure and excellent crushing strength. It is mainly used to grind various fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, mangoes, apples, strawberries, pears, celery, etc. It can break down surface material into smaller particles, increasing the efficiency of subsequent processing operations. Upoko. Machines include food hoppers, frames, circles, rings, side covers, motors, motor structures, output hoppers, etc.

6. Preheating

Preheating is a heating process used to heat the crushed products. The temperature can be adjusted as needed, usually between 45°C and 85°C. This treatment increases the amount of water required for subsequent processing and keeps the color and taste of the final product unaffected.

7. Pulper and refiner

This machine runs at 1470 rpm and creates centrifugal energy that allows the product to pass through the sieve, helping refine the product. Usually two stages of him are used, a pulper and a refiner, but the screens for each stage are different, the first stage screen is larger and the second stage screen is smaller. The production rate of tomato pulp in two stage mixer can reach 90% -95%. After the pulp, separate the skin and seeds from the tomato pulp. The machine has good working capacity and stable performance. Easy-to-use replaceable screen. Suitable for different kinds of fruits, such as passion fruit, tomato, mango, peach, apricot, mango, apple, etc.

8. Evaporating

Vacuum Evaporator is used for concentrating the tomato paste under vacuum and low temperature. Here we are using Forced Circulation Vacuum Evaporator. Because it’s under vacuum and low temperature, so the tastes and nutrients would be protected as much as possible. And right now, we evaporate the water from the tomato pulp, then we will get the tomato paste, normally the Brix is 28-30% and 36-38%.

9. Sterilizing

A tube-in-tube sterilizer is used in the tomato paste production process, with adjustable sterilization temperature and holding time. During this process, the tomato paste is held at high temperature (approximately 115°C) for 30 seconds and then quickly cooled to room temperature. This treatment helps retain as many nutrients as possible in the tomato sauce. The entire system adopts programmable control, and the operating system uses a human-machine graphic interface, allowing users to intuitively understand the working status of each component of the equipment.

10. Aseptic Filling

The aseptic filling machine is combined with the tube sterilizer to form a closed-loop system. Before production, the cycle is fully sterilized to ensure a sterile environment. In addition, the filling chamber also has a steam protection function to ensure that the filling environment is also sterile. To ensure safety, a variety of safety measures are provided, and mirror welding technology is used to ensure clean and smooth welds. The system is also equipped with an independent control panel for easy operation and monitoring. CIP (cleaning inside) and automatic SIP (steam sterilization) functions can be used with the sterilizer. Additionally, the system can be easily adjusted to accommodate different capacities and sizes of sterile bags.

11. Storage or go blending

The finished product can be stored or used as the raw material to make the tomato sauce or ketchup.
