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 tomatoes come in, we usually use lorries. It's going to be a big deal if people drop it off. Therefore, we have designed an unloading platform that uses water cannons to unload the fresh fruits/tomatoes from the trucks and uses water to transport the fresh fruits/tomatoes to the processing line. The unloading platform also has the ability to pre-wash fresh fruit/tomatoes before processing.

2. Elevator

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

3. Washing

Wash fresh fruit well before crushing. Both foam and spray washers can be used for cleaning. Additional cleaning stages can be added if cleaning requirements are high. You can also add ultrasonic cleaning or ozone cleaning for better 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

GFM-FC series crushers have the most advanced working principle, higher manufacturing precision and best crushing capability. Mainly used for grinding various fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, apples, pears, strawberries, celery, etc. Raw materials can be crushed into small particles to enhance the working effect of the following processes. The machine consists of feed hopper, side cover, frame, main shaft, bearing seat, motor, motor structure, exhaust hopper, etc.

6. Preheating

The pre-heater is used to heat the product after crusher, the temperature is adjustable, normally from 45℃ to 85℃. This processing step, would help to higher the juice rate for next step, and also can protect the color and taste of the final product.

7. Pulper and refiner

The machine also rotates at 1470 rpm, creating centrifugal force as the product passes through the sieve, which helps refine the product. I usually use his two stages of pulper and refiner. Each stage has a different screen. The first row has a larger screen, and the second row has a smaller screen. The tomato pulp output of the two stage beater can reach 90%~95%. After pulping, separate the tomato skin and seeds from the tomato pulp. The machine has a heavy workload and stable performance. Easy to operate and replace the screen. Suitable for a variety of fruits such as passion fruit, tomatoes, peaches, apricots, mangoes and apples.

8. Evaporating

A vacuum evaporator is used to concentrate ketchup at low temperature under vacuum. A forced circulation vacuum evaporator is used here. Because it is done under vacuum and low temperature, the flavor and nutrition are kept to the maximum. Here, the tomato pulp is allowed to evaporate to produce a tomato paste, typically 28-30% Brix and 36-38% Brix.

9. Sterilizing

A tube-in-tube sterilizer is used to sterilize ketchup. Sterilization temperature and storage time are adjustable. This machine heats ketchup to a high temperature of about 115°C for 30 seconds and then immediately cools it to room temperature. This way ketchup testing and nutrition can also be protected as much as possible. The whole system adopts programmable control. The operation system adopts the image of a human-machine interface, which is convenient for intuitively grasping the operation status of each part of the equipment.

10. Aseptic Filling

Aseptic filling machines are used in combination with in-tube sterilizers. This is a closed loop. Cycles are fully sterilized prior to manufacturing to ensure a sterile environment. The filling cavity is also vapor protected to ensure that the filling environment is also sterile. Security - Provides multiple security methods. Adopts mirror welding technology to achieve clean and smooth welding. Separate control panel. CIP and automatic SIP can be used with the sterilizer. Easily adaptable to various capacities and sizes of sterilization 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.
