High Temperature Resistance Tomato Processing Line
A high-quality Tomato Processing Line represents an integrated, industrial-grade solution engineered to deliver efficient, consistent, and reliable production capabilities—empowering food manufacturers to meet the growing global demand for premium tomato products with extended shelf lives. Designed to handle the entire tomato processing workflow from raw material preparation to finished product packaging, this Tomato Processing Line eliminates bottlenecks, reduces manual intervention, and ensures uniform quality across every batch, making it suitable for diverse tomato processing scenarios: from small-batch artisanal tomato sauce production to large-scale industrial manufacturing of ketchup, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and value-added tomato-based condiments.
Core Components of a Comprehensive Tomato Processing Line
A fully optimized Tomato Processing Line combines specialized equipment to streamline each stage of production, ensuring seamless coordination and maximum efficiency:
Washing & Sorting Equipment: High-pressure spray washers remove dirt, pesticides, and impurities from fresh tomatoes, while optical sorting machines separate unripe, damaged, or diseased fruits—laying the foundation for high-quality end products.
Crushing & Pulping Machines: Gentle crushing technology preserves tomato flavor and nutrients, followed by precision pulping to separate skins, seeds, and fibers from the pulp—yielding smooth, homogeneous tomato puree ideal for sauces, pastes, or juices.
Concentration & Evaporation Systems: Vacuum evaporation units reduce moisture content efficiently at low temperatures, concentrating tomato solids to the desired thickness (e.g., 28-30% Brix for tomato paste) while retaining natural color, aroma, and nutritional value.
Sterilization & Pasteurization Modules: High-temperature short-time (HTST) or ultra-high-temperature (UHT) sterilization systems eliminate harmful microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, molds) without compromising product quality, extending shelf life to 12-24 months for ambient storage.
Filling & Packaging Equipment: Automated filling machines (for glass jars, plastic bottles, or pouches) paired with sealing and labeling systems ensure precise portioning, airtight sealing, and professional branding—completing the Tomato Processing Line with shelf-ready products.
Tomato Processed Products Classification
Concentrated Tomato Products:
- Tomato Sauce (28-30° Brix): Produced using advanced four-effect evaporation concentration technology
- Tomato Paste (36-38° Brix): Requires aseptic filling systems for safe packaging
Liquid Products:
- NFC Tomato Juice: Created through cold crushing process, preserving vitamin C content
- Fermented Tomato Beverages: Developed using lactic acid bacteria fermentation

Key Equipment Features
The tomato paste processing line revolves around three key pieces of equipment, which work together to ensure efficient production and high-quality tomato paste output, meeting strict requirements for quality, storage, and distribution:
Aseptic Filling System: As a vital part of the tomato paste processing line, it builds a sterile environment via high-temperature sterilization and HEPA air filtration. This allows the tomato paste to stay fresh for 12-24 months without refrigeration, making it indispensable equipment for the global distribution of tomato paste.
Evaporation and Concentration Equipment: Within the tomato paste processing line, this equipment is tasked with boosting the tomato solids content to over 28%—the benchmark for high-quality tomato paste. By adopting low-temperature vacuum evaporation technology, it gently eliminates excess moisture, preserving the paste’s nutrients and original flavor. Additionally, it cuts down on transportation costs and supports the efficient operation of the entire processing line.
Pasteurization Unit: Serving as a critical link in the tomato paste processing line, it uses mild heating (60-70℃) to eliminate harmful bacteria like Salmonella. This not only extends the tomato paste’s shelf life but also retains 90% of its original flavor, perfectly balancing food safety and taste.
