These plants are provided with a series of assembly line machines for blanching, pulping, processing of tomatoes for their puree and their final treatment for making ketchups. Packing lines can be offered depending upon the requirement like Product in glass bottles, Cans, Drums, etc. Manufacturing process involves most modern technology of vacuum evaporation systems.Tomato paste processing line in cold-break and hot-break system starting from 2 to 20 ton/hour with different level of automation and different feeding systems of whole tomatoCan be used to make as tomato puree tomato paste, tomato ketchup, tomato sauce and peeled tomato in cans.Packing lines can be offered depending upon the requirement like Product in glass bottles, Cans, Drums, etc. Manufacturing process involves most modern machines of vacuum evaporation using forced circulation evaporators/scrapped surface evaporators.The packaging product in cans, bottles, pouches, aseptic bag in drumOur lines are characterized from long-experience know-how, sturdy construction and energy saving.Machines/ equipments used in Tomato processing plant areA Washing MachineA Sorting ConveyorA ElevatorA CrusherA Cold/Hot Break SystemA Tubular Preheated PasteurizerA Pulping MachineA Vacuum Evaporator / Continuous / forced circulation evaporatorA Filling Line-- Can Filling Machine / Bottle Filling Machine / Sachet filling Machine / Aseptic bag in drum filling machineMost facilities package the completed product using aseptic bags, so that the product in the evaporator never comes into contact with air until it reaches the customer. The concentrate is sent from the evaporator in a straight line to an aseptic tank Ait is then pumped at high pressure through the aseptic sterilizer-cooler to the aseptic filler, where it is filled into large, pre-sterilized aseptic bags. Advanced Automation and Hygienic DesignThis tomato processing line uses a fully automatic PLC control system and a robust stainless steel modular construction to maintain excellent hygiene standards. The integrated CIP (Clean-In-Place) system simplifies cleaning, while the heavy-duty induction motors facilitate reliable, continuous operation with automatic safety features for operator protection.
Flexible Output and Efficient Utility UseCapable of producing tomato paste (28-30 Brix), puree, sauce, and ketchup, the plant adapts to variable processing needs. Suitable for a variety of packaging forms, including aseptic drums, sachets, and bottles, it uses energy, water, steam, and compressed air efficiently to ensure low operational costs. Its compact, modular design allows convenient installation on-site or in containers.
User-Friendly Operation and Low MaintenanceRequiring just 2-4 operators per shift, the plant emphasizes straightforward operation through computerized and automated controls. The design minimizes maintenance demands and offers variable speed adjustments, accommodating different production volumes and processing temperatures quickly, while maintaining low noise levels (<75 dB).
FAQ's of Tomato Processing Plant Machinery:
Q: How does the advanced CIP (Clean-In-Place) system benefit tomato processing plants?
A: The automated CIP system streamlines cleaning without dismantling machinery, ensuring consistent hygiene and reducing labor and downtime. This results in safer tomato products, fast changeovers, and lower maintenance costs.
Q: What utility requirements should I consider for installing this machinery?
A: The plant requires connections to steam, water, electricity (380-440V, three-phase), and compressed air. Efficient utility use keeps operational costs low. Installation can be tailored for on-site or containerized setups, depending on available infrastructure.
Q: When is this tomato processing line most suitable for operation?
A: Designed for ambient conditions ranging from 5-45C, the plant operates optimally year-round in most Indian climates, making it ideal for both seasonal and continuous tomato processing.
Q: Where is this machinery best utilized?
A: This automatic processing plant excels in industrial food processing units, especially for dealers, manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers seeking bulk tomato paste, puree, sauce, or ketchup production. Its modular design fits into new or existing food factories across India.
Q: What is the process flow in the tomato processing plant?
A: Fresh tomatoes are conveyed into the plant via belt and hopper, then proceed through sequential crushing, pulping, refining, pasteurization, and aseptic filling. The entire process is controlled automatically using a PLC system, ensuring product consistency and hygiene.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this tomato processing machinery?
A: Some major advantages include energy efficiency, low operational noise, hygienic construction, modular design for easy expansion, automated controls for minimum operator intervention, and suitability for various packaging forms. These features support scalability, food safety, and cost-effectiveness in tomato product manufacturing.
Q: How many personnel are needed per shift, and why?
A: The system is highly automated, typically requiring only 2-4 operators per shift. The intuitive PLC control panel and automated subsystems ensure efficient, low-labor operations even at high product output, simplifying training and reducing operational overhead.
