Tomato Ketchup Production Line Workflow
- Raw material pretreatment: Select high-quality tomatoes, and perform sorting, bubble washing, blanching, and air drying.
- Crushing and pulping: Use a tomato crusher and a double-stage pulper to convert the tomatoes into a pulp.
- Concentration and sterilization: Vacuum concentration removes moisture and increases the solids content. This is followed by high-temperature short-time sterilization.
- Bottling and packaging: Quantitative filling, sealing, labeling, and coding are completed under high-temperature conditions, followed by finished product storage.
Core Equipment of Tomato Sauce Processing Line
Raw Material Pre-processing Equipment
- Sorting Line: Removes unripe, damaged, rotten, and stem-laden tomatoes through conveyor and manual screening.
- Bubble Washing Machine: Removes mud, impurities, and pesticide residues using the bubbling principle, preserving the integrity of the tomato skin.
- Blanching Line: Inactivates enzymes and protects color, softens the flesh, assists in peeling, and improves subsequent crushing efficiency.
Crushing and Pulping Equipment
- Tomato Shredder: Chops blanched tomatoes into small pieces.
- Double-stage Pulper: Separates the peel and seeds to obtain tomato puree, a crucial step for consistent quality.
Concentration System
- Buffer Tank: Balances production capacity, maintains continuous material flow, and prevents downtime or material waste.
- Vacuum Concentrator: Evaporates moisture. This step determines the consistency, flavor, and stability of the tomato sauce.
Filling and Packaging System
- Quantitative Filling Machine: Performs filling to improve sealing and extend shelf life.
- Capping Machine, Labeling Machine, and Inkjet Printer: Ensure product appearance is standardized and information is complete.
Features of Tomato Sauce Making Machines
- Process System: The entire production line achieves fully automated and coordinated operation across five key stages: raw material receiving, pretreatment, refining, sterilization and packaging, and storage. This significantly increases production capacity, reduces labor requirements, and ensures food safety.
- Raw Material Processing System: Multi-stage cleaning removes mud, sand, and pesticide residues. The blanching stage effectively inactivates enzymes and preserves color, maintaining the natural red color and flavor of tomatoes.
- Crushing and Pulping: A dual-stage pulping machine ensures thorough peeling and seed removal. Uniform particle size reduces energy consumption in subsequent concentration and improves product consistency.
- Vacuum Concentration Technology: Low-temperature concentration avoids the destruction of lycopene and vitamin C by high temperatures. Stable concentration results in a smooth, non-sedimented sauce.
- Sterilization and Filling: High-temperature short-time sterilization preserves flavor while ensuring microbial safety. Hot filling improves sealing and shelf life.
- Automation: A PLC centralized control system enables fully automated operation. Automatic calibration of flow rate, temperature, and pressure reduces human error. Only 2-3 operators are needed to manage the entire line.
Advantages of Tomato Sauce Processing Equipment
- Capacity: The entire production line supports continuous production, and we customize the system to match your specific needs.
- Hygiene: Food-grade stainless steel ensures safety and cleanliness, meeting international food industry standards.
- Labor Costs: Automated operation reduces labor intensity and manpower requirements.
- Energy Saving: Vacuum concentration and sterilization equipment consumes less energy and is more efficient.
- Durability: Stable equipment structure, long lifespan, and low maintenance costs.
