Product description of tomato processing plant

Tomato processing lines can produce everything from fresh tomatoes to a variety of finished products. Popular products such as tomato paste, tomato paste, and tomato paste, the Tomato Juice Processing Line manufactures aseptic bags from fresh tomatoes to the finished product in barrels.

The processing line mainly includes fresh tomato receiving system, washing system, sorting system, crushing system, pulping and refining system, filtration system, concentration system, sterilization system and aseptic filling system. Then fill the bucket with a sterile bag of ketchup.

Ketchup in barrel sterilization bags is also further manufactured into ketchup, sauces, juices and packed in sachets, stand-up pouches, metal cans, PP containers, bottles, gable tops, etc.

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 arrive, unloading is often very difficult with people in large trucks. Therefore, we have designed an unloading platform for unloading fresh fruits/tomatoes from trucks using water guns and transporting fresh fruits/tomatoes to the processing line with water. There is another feature of the discharge platform. Fresh fruit/tomatoes can be pre-washed before processing.

2. Elevator

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

3. Washing

Fresh fruit should be washed carefully before crushing. Foam washers can be used along with spray washers for cleaning. More washing steps can be added if the washing requirements are high. Furthermore, by adding ultrasonic cleaning or ozone cleaning, you can obtain a higher 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 series crushers have the most advanced working principle, higher manufacturing precision and highest crushing capacity. Mainly used to grind 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 next processing section. The machine consists of feed hopper, side cover, frame, main shaft, bearing seat, motor, motor structure, discharge 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 runs at 1470 r/min and creates centrifugal force that helps the product pass through screens for purification. I usually use his two stages of pulper and refiner. Each level has different screens. The first stage has a large screen, and the second stage has a small 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 large workload and stable performance. Easy to operate and replace the screen. Suitable for passion fruit, tomatoes, peaches, apricots, mangoes, apples and other fruits.

8. Evaporating

Vacuum evaporators are used to thicken ketchup under vacuum and at low temperatures. A forced circulation vacuum evaporator is used here. Vacuum cooking preserves the taste and nutrition as much as possible. Tomato paste is made by allowing the water to evaporate from the tomato pulp. Typical Brix levels are 28-30% and 36-38%.

9. Sterilizing

A tube-in-tube sterilizer is used to sterilize ketchup. Sterilization temperature and holding time can be adjusted. This machine keeps ketchup at a high temperature of about 115°C for 30 seconds and then immediately cools it to room temperature. In this way, ketchup testing and nutrition are protected as much as possible. The whole system adopts programmable control. The operating system adopts an image man-machine interface, which is convenient for intuitively understanding the working status of each component of the equipment.

10. Aseptic Filling

Aseptic filling machines work with tubing in tubular sterilizers. This is a closed loop. Prior to production, the cycle is fully sterilized to ensure a sterile environment. Furthermore, the filling space is protected by steam, ensuring 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. His CIP and automatic SIP for sterilizers. 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.
