Complete SUS304/SUS316 Tomato Processing Line with 1 t/h-20 t/h Capacity and Aseptic Bag Filling

The Tomato Paste Production Line is a complete industrial solution designed to transform fresh, ripe tomatoes into high-concentration tomato paste suitable for further processing into ketchup, pizza sauce, tomato juice, and canned tomato products. This production line covers the entire process from fruit receiving, washing, sorting, crushing, preheating, refining, evaporation concentration, sterilization, to aseptic bag filling. Every stage is engineered to preserve the natural color, flavor, and nutritional content of fresh tomatoes while achieving the desired Brix level.

The line is modular in design, allowing food processors to select specific sections based on their capacity requirements and final product specifications. Whether you are a small-scale producer targeting local markets or a large industrial facility supplying tomato paste to international food brands, our tomato paste production line can be customized to match your output needs, ranging from 5 tons to 50 tons of fresh tomatoes per day.

Why Choose Our Tomato Paste Production Line

Modern tomato paste production requires precision control of temperature, vacuum, and processing time to avoid caramelization and color degradation. Our line uses a multi-effect evaporation system that operates under low-temperature conditions, significantly reducing energy consumption while maintaining the bright red color and fresh tomato taste. The hot break process instantly inactivates enzymes that cause discoloration, resulting in a thicker paste with higher viscosity.

The refining stage employs double-stage finishers to remove tomato skins and seeds, producing a smooth, homogeneous puree. For customers requiring different final concentrations, the evaporator can be adjusted to produce paste ranging from 28 to 38 degrees Brix, with some configurations reaching up to 42 Brix for industrial ingredient applications.

Hygiene is a top priority in tomato processing. All product-contact parts are constructed from stainless steel 304 or 316, and the line is designed for clean-in-place procedures. The aseptic bag filling system ensures that the finished tomato paste can be stored at ambient temperature for up to 24 months without refrigeration, greatly reducing storage and transportation costs.

Processing Stages

The complete tomato paste production line begins with a flume washing system that removes dirt, stones, and foreign materials. Tomatoes then pass through an inspection conveyor where workers remove unripe or damaged fruits. A crusher breaks the tomatoes into small pieces before they enter the preheater, which rapidly raises the temperature to inactivate enzymes. The hot break system operates at approximately 85 to 95 degrees Celsius, preserving pectin and producing a thicker paste.

Following preheating, the tomatoes go through a double-stage finisher. The first stage uses a coarse screen to separate larger particles, while the second stage employs a finer screen to produce a smooth puree. The puree then enters a multi-effect evaporator where water is removed under vacuum to achieve the desired concentration. Finally, the concentrated paste is sterilized and aseptically filled into sterilized bags inside drums or bins.
