Industrial Tomato Juice Making Machine for Manufacturing Plant Efficient Tomato Pure Production Processing Line
Tomato Puree production factory refers to a factory specialized in processing fresh tomatoes into thick, skin free, and seed free tomato sauces.
These types of factories typically include the following key processes:
1.
Raw material reception and pretreatment: Firstly, fresh tomatoes are transported to the factory and undergo strict quality inspection before cleaning to remove surface dirt and pesticide residues. Subsequently, the tomatoes will be sent to a crusher for preliminary crushing for subsequent processing.
2.
Juicing and Peeling and Removing Seeds: The crushed tomatoes enter the juicing system and are separated from the juice by centrifugation or screening, while removing the skin and seeds. This process ensures the delicate taste of tomato sauce.
3.
Concentration: The extracted tomato juice will be heated and concentrated in an evaporator to increase its solid content and form a thick pure tomato sauce. In this process, an appropriate amount of salt and citric acid may also be added as preservatives and flavor enhancers.
4.
Sterilization and cooling: To ensure product quality and extend shelf life, concentrated tomato puree needs to undergo high-temperature instant sterilization (HTST) or commercial aseptic treatment (UHT), and then quickly cool to a suitable temperature to inhibit microbial growth.
5.
Filling and sealing: After cooling, the pure tomato sauce will be automatically filled into different packaging containers, such as metal cans, glass bottles, or soft packaging bags, and then sealed to ensure the sealing and shelf life of the product.
6.
Inspection and packaging: The tomato puree that has been filled still needs to undergo a final quality inspection, including appearance, taste, microbiological indicators, etc. Qualified products are packaged and labeled with information such as production date and shelf life.
7.
Warehousing and logistics: Finally, the finished products are sent to the warehouse for temporary storage, arranged for shipment according to market demand, and transported to distributors, supermarkets, or directly to consumers through cold chain logistics.

Tomato Juice Processing Key Operational Points
Fresh Tomato pretreatment
The system is including the cleaning and sorting of fresh tomatoes,crushing them into 3-5mm tomato pieces,and then preheating them through a tubular preheater.The selection and cleaning process is of great significance to the quality and stability of the final tomato juice.The preheating and crushing processes are important processes that affect the consistency of tomato juice and the yield of juice.There are two crushing methods:hot break and cold break.Due to the low temperature of the cold-breaking sauce,the endogenous enzymes(mainly pectin tertiary enzymes)are not completely inactivated.The pectin is enzymatically hydrolyzed into short chains,and the viscosity will be low,but the flavor and color are good.The hot break enzyme is inactivated thoroughly,the pectin is less damaged,the viscosity is good,the flavor and color are poor.
Tomato squeezing and juicing
Squeeze the crushed fruit pulp after heating,while removing the peel and seeds,it also adjusts the pulp particles.Generally,it can be operated by a screw juicer or a beater.The screw juicer squeezes the crushed pulp between the screw and the sieve to extract the juice,and the beater extracts the juice by impact,and the aperture of the sieve is about 0.4mm.The squeezing rate of good varieties of tomato juice is 75%-80%.
Tomato juice blending and seasoning
As a seasoning for tomato juice,we can add wine vinegar,table salt,white sugar,lemon juice,etc.
Degassing,homogenization and sterilization of tomato juice
In the process of tomato crushing and blending,the air is inevitably mixed in,so after the juice is squeezed and blended,the tomato juice needs to be deaerated.At the same time,in order to refine the pulp particles and increase the consistency,a homogenizer can be used to make the tomatoes have a smooth feel through homogenization.Tomato juice contains pulp,which makes it a relatively viscous liquid.Therefore,it needs to be sterilized before filling.The HTST sterilization process is usually used(90-95ºC for 40-60S).The sterilized tomato juice is orange-red,the sugar content is 4.3%,and the PH value is 4.4.
Filling and sealing of tomato juice
The containers used for tomato juice are metal cans,glass bottles or PET bottles.The pre-sterilized tomato juice is filled into a clean container.In order to prevent oxidation,it is necessary to quickly cool the sterilized tomato juice to 85-89ºC and fill it into the container immediately.To prevent oxidation of the product,this filling method is called hot filling.It should be sealed immediately after filling.
Secondary pasteurization and packing of the tomato juice
After the filling is completed,for the sake of safety,the tomato juice needs to be sterilized twice,and the filled container is transported to the pasteurization tunnel or retort for secondary sterilization.The sterilization process is 90-95ºC for 15-20min.Then use cooling water to quickly cool the temperature of tomato juice to below 35ºC for subsequent packaging.
We offer turnkey projects for tomato processing plants,include process concentrated tomato paste,tomato puree,tomato sauce,ketcup,tomato powder and other tomato products.
