This Automatic Tomato Ketchup & Sauce Processing Line is
specifically engineered for the production of retail and
foodservice tomato ketchup, tomato seasonings, and tomato base
sauces. The system is designed to process concentrated tomato paste
(from bulk aseptic bag raw material) through rehydration, blending,
homogenization, sterilization, and filling.
Core Process Features:
Precision Blending System: Equipped with high-speed sugar
dissolving tanks, multiple blending tanks, and high-shear
homogenizers, the system accurately measures and mixes sugar, salt,
vinegar, spices, and thickeners to ensure consistent flavor profile
and texture across every batch.
Homogenization & Deaeration: A high-pressure homogenizer and vacuum
deaerator work in tandem — the homogenizer delivers a smooth,
velvety texture by reducing particle size, while the deaerator
removes dissolved oxygen from the sauce, effectively preventing
oxidative discoloration and separation during shelf life.
Gentle Sterilization & Filling: Plate or tubular sterilizers apply
gentle thermal treatment to high-viscosity tomato ketchup with
precise temperature control (typically 80-95℃), effectively
eliminating harmful bacteria while maximizing preservation of
natural color and flavor. The downstream section features
high-viscosity sauce fillers supporting glass jars, PET bottles,
aluminum foil sachets, and other packaging formats, with optional
post-filling water-bath sterilization, air drying, labeling, and
coding equipment.
Flexible Configuration & Capacity:
The line offers capacity options from 100kg/h for small-scale
operations up to 10T/h for large industrial plants, serving
applications from central kitchens for restaurant chains to
large-scale condiment factories. All equipment is constructed from
SUS304 stainless steel with polished surfaces, sanitary
dead-corner-free design, and CIP (clean-in-place) readiness for
easy cleaning.
Application Scenarios:
The finished ketchup and sauces produced by this line are ideal for
fast-food dipping sauces, pizza bases, pasta sauce sachets, and
various Chinese-Western compound seasonings with broad market
appeal. We provide complete equipment selection and process design
services based on customer-supplied recipes and packaging
specifications

STORAGE OR BLENDING
Our processing line utilizes fresh mango and mango paste as raw
materials to produce various final products including mango paste,
mango sauce, mango juice, mango powder, diced mango, and dried
mango.
Available packaging formats include aseptic bags, metal cans,
sachets, stand-up pouches, PP containers, glass bottles, PET
bottles, and gable top cartons.
1. Discharge Platform
Specialized drainage platform with water guns simplifies raw mango
unloading from trucks while providing pre-washing capabilities to
enhance production line efficiency.
2. Elevator
This machine transports fresh mango from outside the building to
inside the processing facility.
3. Washing
Thorough washing of fresh fruits prior to crushing using bubble
washers and brush & spray washers. Optional ultrasonic and ozone
cleaning methods available for enhanced cleaning efficacy.
4. Sorting
Visual inspection by staff after washing to identify defects,
ensuring only high-quality fruits proceed through the production
line.
5. Destoning
Mango remover operates at 1470 r/min, effectively crushing fresh
mango to ensure thorough cleaning of core and skin, maximizing pulp
yield and production efficiency.
6. Preheating
Adjustable temperature pre-heater (45℃ to 85℃) increases juice
yield for subsequent processing while protecting final product
color and taste.
7. Pulper and Refiner
Operating at 1470 r/min, this machine generates centrifugal force
to pass product through screens for refinement. Suitable for
various fruits including passion fruit, tomatoes, peaches,
apricots, mangoes, and apples.
8. Horizontal Spiral Centrifugal
Reduces solids and impurities to ensure mango pulp puree is free
from contaminants and black spots.
9. Sterilizing
Tube-in-tube type sterilizer with adjustable temperature and
retention time for different product requirements. Programmable
control system ensures precise automation.
10. Aseptic Filling
Operates with tube-in-tube sterilizer in closed cycle system.
Vapor-protected filling cavity maintains sterility throughout the
packaging process.
11. Storage or Blending
Final product can be stored as-is or used as raw material for
producing mango sauce or other products.
