Fully Automatic Tomato Paste Production Line – Hot Break / Cold
Break Technology
This fully automatic tomato paste production line is specifically
designed for industrial-scale processing, covering the complete
workflow from tomato washing, sorting, crushing, preheating,
refining, vacuum concentration, aseptic filling, to final
packaging. The line adopts advanced Hot Break or Cold Break
technology, which can be configured according to customer
requirements for color, viscosity, and flavor. Hot Break technology
rapidly inactivates pectin-degrading enzymes, effectively retaining
natural color and thickness, resulting in bright red paste with
rich consistency. Cold Break technology preserves the fresh taste
and nutritional content of raw tomatoes, making it ideal for
premium tomato paste products.
All core equipment is manufactured using food-grade 304/316
stainless steel, complying with international hygiene standards.
The line is equipped with a PLC automatic control system, enabling
one-touch start/stop, automatic temperature and flow regulation,
and fault self-diagnosis, significantly reducing labor costs. The
concentration stage can be equipped with a multi-effect evaporator,
which saves energy and reduces steam consumption by over 30%. The
aseptic filling system ensures product packaging in a sterile
environment, extending shelf life to 24 months or more.
Production capacity ranges from 5 to 1,000 tons per day, with
customizable configurations to suit different scales. This line is
ideal for tomato paste factories, condiment companies, and food
export businesses. We offer complete turnkey services including
line design, equipment manufacturing, installation commissioning,
and operator training. On-site installation support is provided to
ensure rapid production start-up. Our equipment has been exported
to over 50 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Southeast
Asia, and South America. Contact us today for detailed technical

This state-of-the-art tomato paste processing line integrates
multiple operations, focusing on the complete tomato processing
journey from initial raw material treatment to final product
packaging. As a versatile production system, this line efficiently
manufactures various tomato-derived products including tomato
paste, tomato sauce, and tomato juice, spanning all essential
processing stages.
Raw Material Preparation
The system includes comprehensive screening and cleaning
components, where a vibrating screen eliminates flawed tomatoes and
impurities while a high-pressure bubble cleaning machine with brush
rollers thoroughly cleanses surfaces by removing mud, pesticide
residues, and unwanted particles. Flexible conveying mechanisms
prevent damage to tomato skins, establishing a pristine base for
processing.
Crushing and Pulping
Following pretreatment, tomatoes are processed through a spiral
crusher in low-temperature settings to retain nutrients and flavor.
A double-stage pulping machine separates tomato pulp from peel and
seeds, with the first stage eliminating larger impurities and the
second stage providing fine pulping for desired consistency.
Concentration and Sterilization
Tomato pulp undergoes concentration in a vacuum concentration tank
where excess water is extracted in a low-temperature vacuum
environment (60-70°C). Solid content is concentrated between 10% to
30% as per specifications, preserving lycopene and essential
nutrients. Concentrated pulp proceeds to tubular sterilizer using
rapid high-temperature sterilization (121°C instant sterilization)
to eradicate microorganisms while preventing flavor degradation.
Final Product Packaging
Sterilized tomato products are meticulously dispensed into
packaging containers through an aseptic filling system maintaining
an aseptic environment to prevent secondary contamination. Capping,
sealing, labeling, coding, and boxing complete the packaging
process, with some lines incorporating metal detection and weight
detection systems to eliminate substandard products.
