Inside the Processing Route: Step-by-Step Flow of Tomato Paste Production Line
Our tomato sauce production line follows a clear step-by-step process from raw tomato to final packaged sauce. Each stage links in order to keep production steady and controlled.
1. Washing
Fresh tomatoes enter the washing machine, where water and bubbles remove dirt and surface impurities.
2. Sorting
Workers or sorting equipment remove the unqualified tomatoes and retain the high-quality ones.
3. Crushing
The crusher crushes the tomatoes into pulp, which then proceeds to the next stage.
4. Preheating
The heating tank can heat the pulp and make its texture softer.
5. Pulp making and separation
The pulping machine can remove the skins and seeds of the tomatoes, while retaining the fine flesh.
6. Vacuum concentration
The vacuum evaporator can remove the water, making the sauce thicker.
7. Mixing
The operators add sugar, salt, vinegar or spices to adjust the taste.
8. Sterilization
The sterilization device heats the sauce to ensure the safety of the product.
9. Filling
The filling machine fills the sauce into bottles, bags or cans.
