Industrial Tomato Processing Line | Turnkey Tomato Paste & Ketchup Production Plant for Food Manufacturers
Our tomato processing lines are designed to handle the complete production cycle from raw fruit intake to aseptic filling and final packaging. Whether you are producing high-concentration tomato paste for B2B distribution or ready-to-use ketchup for retail markets, our systems deliver consistent quality, high yield, and operational efficiency.
The processing journey begins with a high-capacity washing and sorting system featuring floating washers with stone removal and spray rinsing to ensure clean raw material intake. The crushed tomatoes then enter a preheating stage where precise temperature control inactivates enzymes while preserving natural color and flavor. A double-stage extraction system with adjustable mesh sizes achieves the desired pulp consistency, followed by multi-effect evaporators for energy-efficient concentration up to 36-38 percent or higher as required. Finally, tube-in-tube or plate sterilization systems paired with aseptic bag fillers ensure long-term preservation without the need for refrigeration.
Our processing lines are available in capacities ranging from 10 to over 100 tons per day, with final concentration levels fully customizable to your specifications. All equipment is designed to meet GMP standards for food safety and is CE certified for compliance with international market requirements.

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.
