Product Description

5TH tomato paste processing equipment tomato concentrate turnkey project Tomato Production Line

Such a system would likely encompass the entire process of converting fresh tomatoes into tomato concentrate, from reception and washing of raw materials to packaging of the final product. 

Here's a breakdown of the typical components and stages involved in a modern, automated tomato paste production line:

1. Reception and Storage: The process begins with the delivery of fresh tomatoes to the facility. A dedicated receiving area equipped with weighing scales and quality control checks ensures accurate measurement and inspection of incoming produce. The tomatoes are then temporarily stored in climate-controlled warehouses to maintain freshness before processing.

2. Sorting and Pre-Treatment: Tomatoes are fed through a sorting machine that removes debris, spoiled fruits, and foreign objects. They may also undergo pre-treatment processes like destemming, cutting (if whole tomatoes are used), and de-skinning (optional). This step ensures uniformity and prepares the tomatoes for further processing.

3. Washing and Disinfection: The pre-treated tomatoes pass through a washing system, typically involving multiple stages of water rinsing and sanitizing solutions, to remove dirt, pesticide residues, and microbial contaminants.

4. Crushing and Pulp Separation: Cleaned tomatoes are crushed to release their pulp and juice. A pulping machine separates the skin, seeds, and other solid particles from the liquid fraction (pomace). The resulting tomato juice is then filtered for further clarification.

5. Heating and Evaporation: The clarified tomato juice is heated in a vacuum evaporator to reduce its water content and increase the solids concentration. This process can be done in multiple stages, gradually increasing the Brix (sugar content) until the desired tomato paste consistency is achieved (e.g., 28-30°Brix for standard paste).

6. Paste Homogenization and Pasteurization: To ensure a smooth texture and microbial stability, the concentrated tomato paste undergoes high-pressure homogenization. Following this, it is pasteurized at a high temperature for a short duration to eliminate any remaining pathogens without significantly affecting the product quality.

7. Aseptic Filling and Packaging: The sterilized tomato paste is filled into aseptic bags, cans, or other containers under strictly controlled, sterile conditions. Alternatively, it may be packed into drums or bulk containers for industrial use. Automated filling and sealing machines ensure precise filling volumes and hermetic seals to maintain product integrity during storage and transportation.

8. Quality Control and Laboratory Testing: Throughout the production process, samples are taken at various stages for quality analysis, including pH, Brix, color, viscosity, and microbiological testing. This ensures compliance with food safety standards, customer specifications, and regulatory requirements.

9. Utilities and Waste Management: A turnkey project would also include the provision of necessary utilities such as steam generation, cooling systems, water treatment, and electrical installations. 

Additionally, waste management systems handle by-products like tomato skins, seeds, and pomace, which can be utilized for animal feed, composting, or energy recovery (e.g., biogas production).A 5th generation tomato paste processing equipment or turnkey project would likely incorporate advanced technologies for increased efficiency, automation, and sustainability. These might include precision monitoring and control systems, energy-efficient evaporators, intelligent sorting algorithms, and waste valorization solutions. Moreover, such projects often come with comprehensive engineering services, installation, commissioning, operator training, and after-sales support to ensure a seamless transition to full-scale production.
