Industrial Tomato Paste & Sauce Production Line – From Fresh Fruit to Finished Product
Designed for food processing plants and contract manufacturers, this complete tomato processing line delivers consistent output, low energy consumption, and flexible process control. It covers every stage from raw material handling to final packaging, producing tomato paste, ketchup, pizza sauce, pasta sauce, BBQ sauce, and other tomato-based condiments.
Core Process Modules:
Washing & Sorting: Bubble washing tanks combined with manual sorting conveyors remove sand, unripe fruit, and debris, ensuring uniform lycopene content.
Double/Triple Pulping Machines: Adjustable mesh sizes separate skins and seeds cleanly, producing smooth tomato puree. An additional refining stage is available for ketchup-grade smoothness.
Vacuum Evaporator (Concentration): Low-temperature falling film evaporation preserves natural color, flavor, and heat-sensitive nutrients. Supports both hot-break and cold-break processes for different viscosity and color requirements.
Sterilization & Aseptic Filling: Tubular or scraped-surface sterilizers paired with aseptic bag-in-drum fillers achieve 12–24 months shelf life at ambient temperature. Optional retail packaging lines (glass jars, pouches, tin cans) are also available.
Key Advantages:
Fully automated CIP system with no dead corners, compliant with FDA and EU food contact standards.
Modular design allows customers to start with concentration section and add filling later, or begin with a pilot line and scale up.
Complete engineering services including plant layout, steam/power calculation, and on-site installation commissioning.
Whether you process 5 tons/hour for a farm-based operation or 50+ tons/hour for industrial production, we provide a tailored configuration. Support for specialty products such as high-viscosity paste, low-acid sauce, or seasoned sauce bases is available. Request a technical datasheet or send your tomato sample for a free lab-scale yield test.

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.
