The automatic tomato sauce making machine is an automated equipment used in the production of tomato sauce. It includes processes such as cleaning, crushing, pulping, concentration, sterilization and filling to produce high-quality tomato sauce.
Tomato sauce is a widely used ingredient in various cuisines and food products, known for its rich flavor and versatility. The production of tomato sauce involves a series of processes to transform fresh tomatoes into concentrated tomato sauce.
Tomato Ketchup Processing Flow Chart
Use automatic tomato ketchup making machine to achieve fast operation. Tomato ketchup(tomato sauce) is produced through a series of steps beginning with the cleaning of ripe red tomatoes to remove impurities. The tomatoes are then crushed, and their skin and seeds are removed.
The remaining pulp is concentrated through cooking or evaporation. Finally, the Tomato ketchup(tomato sauce) is filled into containers and sterilized to ensure shelf stability. As a versatile condiment, tomato ketchup adds color, acidity, and freshness to dishes such as fish and meat.
Main Equipment of Tomato Ketchup Manufacturing Plant
1. Grader: Select ripe, brightly colored, high in dry matter, thin-skinned, thick-fleshed, and few-seed tomatoes as raw materials.
2. Washer: Use clean water to wash the mud and other impurities on the surface of the tomatoes to ensure cleanliness.
3. Blanching: Immerse the washed tomatoes in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften the pulp, facilitating subsequent pulping.
4. Pulper: After blanching, pour the ripe tomatoes into the pulper to break the pulp and remove the skin and seeds. The pulper is preferably a double-pass pulper, with the first screen hole diameter of 1.0-1.2mm and the second screen hole diameter of 0.8-0.9mm. Heat the concentrated pulp tomato juice immediately after pulping to prevent pectinase stratification.

5. Heating and Concentration: Transfer the tomato juice to a jacketed pot for heating and concentration. Continue heating until the soluble solids reach 22%-24%. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
6. Sterilization and Cooling: Sterilize the product in boiling water at 100°C for 20-30 minutes, then cool to a tank temperature of 35-40°C.
7. Finished Product: The tomato sauce should be reddish-brown, uniform, and have a consistent texture. It should taste sour, free from off-flavors, and have a soluble solids content of 22%-24%.
8. Bottle Filling: Fill the prepared tomato ketchup into bottles or small bags and seal them.
