A tomato processing plant is a production plant that converts fresh tomatoes into various tomato products through a series of processing techniques. These tomato products can include tomato sauce, tomato sauce, tomato sauce powder, tomato paste, etc. The following are the main processing steps of a tomato processing plant:
1. Cleaning: Tomatoes need to be thoroughly cleaned before entering the processing stage. This process usually uses water and cleaning agents to remove surface impurities, pesticide residues, etc.
2. Peeling and Seeding: After cleaning, tomatoes need to have their skin and seeds removed to obtain pure tomato meat. This can be achieved by soaking tomatoes in hot water and then using a cutting machine to remove the skin and seeds.3. Cutting and stirring: The peeled and seeded tomatoes will be cut into small pieces and finely ground using a blender to turn them into tomato paste.
4. Seasoning: According to different product requirements, seasonings and food additives such as salt, sugar, pepper, garlic, etc. can be added to enhance taste and flavor.
5. Cooking: Put the tomato sauce into a large pot and boil it, maintaining an appropriate temperature and time to turn it into a thick tomato sauce.
6. Filling and packaging: After cooking, tomato sauce will be filled into containers such as plastic bottles, glass bottles, etc. Then seal and package the container to ensure the hygiene and shelf life of the product.
7. Quality inspection and storage: The processed tomato products need to undergo quality inspection to ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations. Then store it in an appropriate environment to ensure quality and shelf life.
It is worth noting that tomato processing plants must strictly control food safety and hygiene conditions during the processing, ensuring that the produced tomato products meet national food safety standards and can be safely consumed by consumers. In addition, tomato processing plants also need to continuously launch tomato products that cater to consumer tastes and diversity based on market demand and product research and development innovation.
The tomato sauce production line is a series of equipment used for large-scale production of tomato sauce. It usually includes the following main machines:
1. Cleaning and Sorting Machine: Used to clean tomatoes and remove impurities, and then classify tomatoes to ensure the quality and consistency of the production process.
2. Cutting machine: Cut cleaned and sorted tomatoes into small pieces or fine threads for subsequent processing steps.
3. Heating and Stirring Machine: Heat and stir the cut tomatoes to achieve concentration, mixing, and uniform heating.
4. Evaporation concentrator: used to evaporate the water in tomato juice, thereby concentrating the tomato sauce.
5. Filling machine: used to fill concentrated tomato sauce into containers, which can be glass bottles, plastic bottles, or other packaging forms.
6. Sealing machine: used to seal the filled tomato sauce container, maintaining the freshness and quality of the product.
7. Packaging machine: used to package sealed tomato sauce containers, which can be different forms of packaging materials such as paper boxes and packaging bags.
8. Detection and labeling machine: used for quality inspection of packaged tomato sauce, and for batch printing and attaching product labels.
The tomato sauce production line can also add other auxiliary equipment according to different processes and production needs, such as tomato skin separators, soaking machines, grinders, etc.
Each machine mentioned above has a specific function and role in the tomato sauce production line, and they work closely together to make the entire production process efficient, automated, and ensure the production of high-quality tomato sauce products.
