As a leading manufacturer of food-grade fruit and vegetable processing equipment, Yiwu Weihao Machinery Equipment Company specializes in providing **turnkey complete production lines for Tomato Juice, Tomato Sauce, and Tomato Paste**—integrated solutions tailored for the unique characteristics of fresh tomatoes, supporting the production of fresh tomato juice, seasoned tomato sauce, and high-concentration tomato paste. The full line integrates all core processes from raw tomato receiving to finished product filling, adopting food-grade materials and fully automatic control, ensuring high yield, excellent flavor retention, and compliance with global food safety standards (FDA, GMP), making it the ideal choice for beverage factories, tomato processing enterprises, and food industrial parks.
Our multi-purpose adaptable line can be flexibly switched between tomato juice, sauce, and paste production (with simple process adjustment), maximizing equipment utilization and reducing investment costs. Compared with single-product lines, it offers stronger versatility, while maintaining the professional processing standards of each tomato product, solving the problem of low equipment utilization for enterprises producing multiple tomato products.
Common Process for All Three Products (shared equipment, high utilization):
Raw Tomato Receiving & Conveying: Automatic conveying system to transport fresh tomatoes to the processing line, reducing manual labor; equipped with sorting conveyor for preliminary impurity removal.
Washing & Cleaning: Bubble washing + high-pressure spray washing + brush roller cleaning, effectively removing dust, pesticides, and surface impurities on tomatoes; soft brush design avoids tomato damage.
Sorting & Inspection: Manual + automatic sorting, removing rotten, green, and inferior tomatoes, as well as foreign objects, to ensure raw material quality.
Peeling & Deseeding (Core Process for Tomato): Hot water blanching + automatic peeling (avoiding manual peeling, improving efficiency); deseeding system to remove tomato seeds and stems, ensuring product smoothness.
Crushing & Beating: High-efficiency tomato crusher and beater, turning peeled and deseeded tomatoes into fine pulp, laying the foundation for subsequent processing.
Filtration & Clarification: Multi-stage filtration system (for tomato juice) or coarse filtration (for sauce/paste) to remove pulp residues, adjusting fineness according to product requirements.
Sterilization: Low-temperature pasteurization (for fresh tomato juice) or high-temperature sterilization (for sauce/paste), preserving nutrients and extending shelf life.
Automatic Filling & Sealing: Adaptable to bottles, cans, and cartons, with precise filling volume control and tight sealing; suitable for liquid (juice), semi-solid (sauce), and thick paste (tomato paste) filling.
CIP Cleaning System: Fully automatic cleaning, ensuring hygiene and meeting food processing standards; easy to clean equipment pipelines and tanks.
Specialized Process for Each Tomato Product (tailored to product characteristics):
Tomato Juice Process: Added vacuum degassing to remove air bubbles, preventing oxidation and browning; optional homogenization to improve juice texture and stability; no additional concentration, retaining fresh tomato flavor and nutrients, with Brix 5–8°.
Tomato Sauce Process: Added cooking & stirring system to evaporate excess water, adjust consistency; optional seasoning mixing tank to add salt, sugar, spices, etc., meeting different taste requirements; Brix 18–25°.
Tomato Paste Process: Added low-temperature vacuum concentration system (45–60°C) to concentrate tomato pulp to high viscosity, retaining natural color and flavor; Brix 28–30° (standard) or 36–38° (high-concentration), with anti-caking treatment to avoid solidification during storage.
Optional Auxiliary Processes: Aroma recovery system (to retain natural tomato aroma), deacidification system (to adjust taste), and automatic labeling & packing system (to improve production efficiency).
Multi-Purpose Adaptability: Flexible switching between tomato juice, sauce, and paste production with simple process adjustment, high equipment utilization, reducing investment costs for enterprises.
High Yield & Quality: Customized peeling, deseeding, and processing processes, tomato utilization rate up to 92–95%, ensuring high yield; products have bright color, pure flavor, and no impurities.
Food-Grade Design: All wetted parts made of 304/316L stainless steel, no toxic substances, complying with FDA, GMP food safety standards; smooth inner surface of equipment, easy to clean and sterilize, avoiding food contamination.
Nutrition & Flavor Preservation: Low-temperature processing (concentration, sterilization) retains natural lycopene, vitamins, and original tomato flavor, avoiding oxidation, browning, and nutrient loss.
Fully Automatic Control: PLC + touch screen control system, real-time monitoring of all process parameters (temperature, pressure, filling volume, Brix), realizing unmanned continuous operation, easy to operate and maintain.
Customizable Capacity: Tailor-made according to daily output, ranging from 500kg/h to 50 tons/h; adaptable to different workshop layouts and product requirements (fresh juice, seasoned sauce, high-concentration paste).
Stable & Durable: Mature process design, high-quality equipment components, low failure rate, long service life; equipped with fault alarm and emergency stop functions, ensuring safe operation; corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant.
