Tomato Ketchup & Sauce Making Machine – High Yield, Low Operating Cost
Upgrade your production with this reliable tomato sauce production line, built to deliver consistent quality and lower energy consumption. Whether you produce tomato paste, ketchup, pizza sauce, or barbecue base, this equipment line handles all tasks from raw fruit to final packaged product.
The tomato paste production line features a hot break unit that preserves natural color and flavor, plus a vacuum evaporator that reduces boiling time and saves fuel. For finished sauces, the integrated tomato sauce processing machine includes a ribbon blender for spices, a colloid mill for fine grinding, and a deaerator to prevent oxidation.
Operators can control Brix, acidity, and temperature via a PLC panel with touchscreen. The system is compatible with glass jars, pouches, and PET bottles filling lines.
Designed for easy maintenance, the equipment has quick-opening inspection ports and self-draining pipes. Spare parts are standardized across modules, reducing inventory needs.
Available in manual, semi-auto, and fully automatic versions. Free layout design and on-site commissioning support offered. Suitable for both new factories and existing line upgrades.

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.
