Product Description

High-Quality Tomato Processing Plant Aseptic Bag In Drum Package Field Installation

Product description of tomato processing plant

Fresh tomatoes can be processed into various types of finished products using tomato processing lines. These processing lines are capable of producing popular items like tomato paste, tomato sauce and ketchup, and tomato juice. The final products are packaged in aseptic bagged drums, ensuring their quality and freshness throughout the production process.

The tomato processing line consists of several key components, including a raw tomato receiving system, washing system, sorting system, crushing system, pulping and refining system, filtration system, concentration system, pasteurization system, and aseptic filling system. By going through each of these stages, the tomatoes are transformed into tomato paste, which is then packaged in sterile bags and placed in drums, ensuring its sterility and preservation.

The 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. Ejection platform

To simplify the unloading process of fresh tomatoes from large trucks, we have developed a discharging platform. This platform incorporates water guns to efficiently discharge the tomatoes from the trucks, eliminating the labor-intensive manual handling. Additionally, the discharging platform serves another purpose by allowing the fresh tomatoes to undergo a pre-washing process before they enter the processing line. Water is used to facilitate the feeding of the fresh tomatoes into the processing line, ensuring a smooth and continuous operation.

2. Elevator

A machine that delivers fresh fruit from outdoors to indoors.

3. Washing

Prior to the crushing stage, it is crucial to thoroughly wash the fresh tomatoes. To achieve optimal cleaning results, a combination of a bubble washer and a spray washer can be employed. If higher cleaning standards are necessary, additional cleaning stages can be incorporated. Moreover, the cleaning process can be enhanced by introducing ultrasonic cleaning and ozone cleaning techniques, which further improve the effectiveness of the cleaning process.

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 crusher has the most advanced working principle, higher production precision and highest crushing capacity. The primary purpose of this machine is to crush a wide range of fruits and vegetables. It effectively grinds the raw materials into fine particles, enhancing the efficiency of subsequent processing stages. The machine is composed of various components, including a feed hopper, side cover, frame, main shaft, bearing block, motor, motor structure, and exit hopper. Together, these components work harmoniously to facilitate the crushing process and ensure smooth operation.

6. Preheating

A pre-heater is used to heat the product after grinding, and the temperature is usually adjustable from 45°C to 85°C. This processing step helps increase the juice percentage for the next step and can also preserve the color and taste of the final product.

7. Pulper and refiner

Operating at a speed of 1470 r/min, this machine generates centrifugal force to propel the product through the screen, contributing to the purification process. It consists of two stages: Pulper and Refiner, each equipped with a different screen size. The first stage employs a larger screen, while the second stage utilizes a smaller screen. By utilizing this double-stage pulping machine, the yield of tomato pulp can reach an impressive 90% to 95%. The pulping process effectively separates the tomato skin and seeds from the pulp. This machine is known for its high capacity, stable performance, ease of operation, and convenient sieve replacement. It is suitable for processing various fruits such as passion fruit, tomatoes, peaches, apricots, mangoes, apples, and more.

8. Evaporating

Vacuum evaporator is used to concentrate tomato paste under vacuum and low temperature. A forced circulation vacuum evaporator is used here. Since it is finished at a vacuum low temperature, it does not miss the taste and nutrients as much as possible. Then the water is evaporated from the tomato pulp to make a tomato paste. Brix is typically 28-30%, 36-38%.

9. Sterilizing

To ensure the safety and preservation of tomato paste, a tube-in-tube type sterilizer is employed. This sterilizer allows for adjustable sterilization temperature and holding time. The machine effectively heats the tomato paste to a high temperature, typically around 115°C, and holds it at this temperature for a period of 30 seconds. Subsequently, the tomato paste is rapidly cooled to the ambient temperature. The entire system is designed to provide comprehensive protection, thanks to its programmable control. The operation system features an intuitive image-based man-machine interface, enabling operators to easily monitor the status of each component of the device.

10. Aseptic Filling

The aseptic filling machine works with a tube-in-tube type sterilizer. It's a closed cycle. Before production, the cycle is fully sterilized to ensure an aseptic environment. Also ensure that the filling cavity is also protected from steam and that the filling environment is sterile. Security - Provides several security methods. Adopts mirror welding technology to achieve clean and smooth welding lines. Independent control panel. CIP and Auto SIP are available in the sterilizer. It can be easily adjusted to fit different 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.
