I. Overview of the Tomato Sauce Processing Production Line

Tomato ketchup is a concentrated, sauce‑like product made from fresh tomatoes, characterized by its bright red color. It is commonly used as a cooking condiment for fish, meat, and other dishes, serving as a distinctive and flavorful seasoning; it is typically not consumed directly. Ketchup is produced by crushing ripe red tomatoes, pulping them, removing the skins and seeds along with other coarse solids, and then subjecting the resulting mixture to concentration, canning, and sterilization.
Drawing on years of practical experience and integrating cutting-edge production technologies from both domestic and international sources, our company has developed a well‑structured processing solution for tomato sauce production lines. Tailored to each client’s investment capacity and operational needs, we offer end‑to‑end project services, encompassing engineering design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, as well as technical support and operator training, delivering turnkey projects to our customers.

II. Process Flow

Raw materials → Sorting conveyor → Surfing washer → Elevator → Crusher → Storage tank → Pulper → Blending tank → Vacuum concentration pot with agitator → Sterilizer → Finished-product tank → Filling

1 Raw material selection: Choose tomatoes that are moderately ripe, fresh, free from mold, rot, and pest or disease damage, and exhibit a bright red color.
2 Selecting the conveyor: Remove any rotten tomatoes or decayed portions, detach the stems from the selected fruit, and then convey the tomatoes to the washing machine.
3 Surfing washer: Uses clean water to remove adhering soil, pathogenic bacteria, and residual pesticides.
4 Elevator: After the tomatoes have been washed, they are conveyed by the elevator to the crusher for crushing.
5 Crusher: The washed tomatoes are crushed in a crusher to remove the seeds, with the particle size adjusted as required to facilitate subsequent processes such as enzyme inactivation, juice extraction, or pulp recovery.
6 , Storage tank: temporarily stores the crushed tomatoes.
7 Pulper: Removes the skin and seeds from tomato fruits, while retaining both the soluble and insoluble components of the tomato, particularly pectin and fiber.
8 , Blending Tank: The sugar-to-acid ratio in tomato sauce is the primary factor determining its taste and flavor. In addition to adjusting this ratio, it is also necessary to fine-tune the color, aroma, viscosity, stability, and nutritional value according to the specific type and characteristics of the product. Other ingredients, such as preservatives and stabilizers, are added in prescribed amounts during the blending process.
9 Vacuum concentration pot with agitator: Removes a large amount of water from tomato paste, reducing packaging, storage, and transportation costs. Concentration increases the tomato paste’s solids content and enhances its shelf life.
10 , Sterilization machine: Utilizing ultra-high-temperature short-time sterilization technology, it minimizes nutrient loss and achieves commercial sterility.
11 Filling: Select a filling machine based on the packaging format.

III. Scope of Application

Strawberry Jam Processing Production Line

Jam products are made by peeling and pitting fruits, softening them, grinding them, or directly juicing berries, then adding sugar and pectin. The mixture is heated and boiled until it reaches the specified consistency, resulting in a finished jam. Strawberries, rich in nutrients—including fructose, sucrose, citric acid, malic acid, salicylic acid, amino acids, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron—are often hailed as the “Queen of Fruits.” Strawberry jam is one of the most popular varieties of fruit jam and is widely used across the industry.

Purified Water Processing Production Line

Purified water, often referred to as clean water or pure water, is water that is free from impurities and microorganisms. It is produced by processing water that meets drinking‑water quality standards through methods such as electrodialysis, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, distillation, and other appropriate techniques, thereby removing minerals, organic compounds, harmful substances, and microorganisms. The resulting product is sealed in a container, contains no added ingredients, and is safe for direct consumption.
