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

When fresh tomato come, normally with big truck, if discharge with human, it would be very difficult. So, we design the discharge platform and use water gun to discharge fresh fruit/tomato from truck, also use water to delivery fresh fruit/tomato to the processing line.

2. Elevator

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

3. Washing

Before crushing, need to washing fresh fruit carefully. For washing we can use bubble washing machine and spray washing machine together. If the washing requirement is high, more stages of washing can be added. 

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

GFM-FC series crusher has most advanced working principle, higher accuracy of manufacture and best crushing functions. It is mainly used for crushing of many kinds of fruits or vegetables, it can crush the raw materials into small particles, which could increase the working effect of next processing section. 

6. Preheating

The pre-heater is used to heat the product after crusher, the temperature is adjustable, normally from 45℃ to 85℃.

7. Pulper and refiner

This machine is also running with speed of 1470 r/min, it causes the centrifugal force and the product will go through screen, helps to refine the product. And normally we use double stage of pulper and refiner, the screen of each stage is different, for first stage the screen would be bigger, and for second stage the screen would be smaller. The double stage pulping machine for tomato pulp yield rate can reach 90%~95%.

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

For tomato paste we use tube in tube type sterilizer for sterilizing. The sterilizing temperature and holding time is adjustable. With this machine we will heat the tomato paste to a very high temperature around 115℃ holding for 30s and then cooling to ambient temperature immediately. Like this way also can protect the test and nutrients of tomato paste as much as possible. The whole system adopts programmable control. The operating system adopts the image man-machine interface, which is convenient for intuitively grasping the operating status of each component of the device.

10. Aseptic Filling

The aseptic filling machine works together with the tube in tube type sterilizer. It’s a closed cycle. Before production, the cycle will be fully sterilized to make sure the aseptic environment. And the filling cavity is also protected by steam to make sure the filling environment is also aseptic. Safety - providing several security methods. Using mirror welding tech to ensure tidy and smooth welding line. Separate control panel. CIP and auto SIP available together with sterilizer. Easy to adjust to match the different volumes and sizes of aseptic 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.
