Main parameters of tomato production line

Final products & Package types for tomato project

For the final package, it can be an aseptic bag, metal can, sachet, stand-up pouch, PP container, glass bottle, PET bottle, gable top, etc.

Main features of the tomato processing line 

The tomato processing line is the key product of Shanghai Gofun machinery company. We served more than 20 countries in the past 16 years. We keep providing high-quality machines and services to food manufacturers all over the world.

1. The capacity of fresh fruit can be customized from 60 Tons/ Day to 1500 Tons/Day.

2.All the materials are food standard, the main material is SUS304 or SUS316, which fully meets the requirements of food hygiene and safety.

3. The Brix of final tomato paste can be designed as the customer’s requirement, normally it would be 28-30% or 36-38%.

4. The final tomato paste will be filled into aseptic bags in drum. With this kind of package, the shelf time can reach two years at normal temperature. Which can reduce the expense greatly for transportation and storage.

5.The tomato can be hot crushed or cold crushed.

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

You need to wash fresh fruit carefully before crushing. We can use washing machine and washing machine together. If washing is required above, many stages of washing can be added. In addition, for better cleaning, we can add ultrasonic cleaning and ozone cleaning.

4. Sorting

The surface of the fruit is clean after washing. We can visually check the condition of all fruits. And isolate bad tomatoes by humans.

5. Crushing for tomato processing

GFM-FC series pulverizers have the most advanced working principle. The higher production precision and the best grinding function are mainly used for crushing many kinds of fruits or vegetables, such as tomatoes, apples, pears, strawberries, celery, etc., which can crush the raw materials into small particles. This can improve the performance of the next processing part. This machine is composed of feeding hopper, side cover, frame, main shaft, bearing seat, motor, motor structure, discharge hopper, etc.

6. Preheating

The preheater is used to heat the ground product. The temperature is adjustable, generally between 45°C and 85°C, this step can make the juice yield in the next step higher. It also preserves the color and flavor of the final product.

7. Pulper and refiner

The machine also runs at 1470 r/min, allowing centrifugal force to escape and the product to pass through the fine-tuning screen. Usually we use a pulper and a two-stage still. The screens for each step are different. In the first step, the screen will be larger, and in the second step, the screen will be smaller. Tomato skin and seeds are separated from tomato pulp. The machine has large running capacity and stable performance. Easy to use and replace the sieve. Suitable for passion fruit, tomato, peach, apricot, mango, apple and other fruits;

8. Evaporating

Vacuum evaporator is used to concentrate tomato paste under vacuum low temperature, here we use forced circulation vacuum evaporator, because it is under vacuum and low temperature, so the taste and nutrients are protected as much as possible, now we are evaporating the juice from the tomato pulp. Then there's ketchup, usually 28-30% and 36-38% Brix.

9. Sterilizing

Tomato paste We use tubes in a tube sterilizer for sterilization. Sterilization temperature and holding time can be adjusted. Use this machine to heat the ketchup to a very high temperature of about 115°C for 30 seconds, then immediately cool to ambient temperature. This also preserves the test and nutrition of the ketchup as much as possible. The whole system adopts programmable control. The operating system uses a visual interface between the human and the machine. This makes it easy to intuitively understand the operating status of each component of the equipment.

10. Aseptic Filling

Aseptic filling machines work with tubes in a tube sterilizer. This is a closed loop. Before production, the cycle is fully sterilized to ensure a sterile environment. And the filling cavity is also protected by steam to ensure that the filling environment is also sterile. Security - Provides multiple security methods. Mirror welding technology is adopted to ensure neat and smooth welds. Separate control panel. CIP and automatic SIP can be used with the sterilizer. Easy to adjust to match sterile bags of different volumes and sizes.

11. Storage or go blending

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