Complete Tomato Paste Plant – From Fresh Fruit to Aseptic Drum
This turnkey tomato processing factory line takes fresh tomatoes from washing to finished paste in one continuous operation. The complete plant includes a floating washer with brush rollers, a sorting conveyor, a crusher pump, hot break or cold break tanks, double and triple stage pulping machines, a vacuum evaporator, and an aseptic filling system for drums or bag-in-box.
The vacuum evaporator operates at low temperatures to preserve natural color, flavor, and lycopene content. Hot break processing at 85 to 95 degrees Celsius produces high viscosity paste ideal for pizza sauce and ketchup base. Cold break at 60 to 70 degrees Celsius delivers a brighter red color with fresher taste for premium products.
Output ranges from 5 to 50 tons per day with final Brix concentration from 28 to 36 percent adjustable on the control panel. The entire line runs on a central PLC with HMI, requiring only three to four operators per shift. A fully integrated CIP system cleans all product contact surfaces without disassembly.
The aseptic filler achieves 12 to 24 months shelf life at ambient temperature. Packaging options include 200 liter aseptic drums, 1000 liter bag-in-box, or direct connection to retail size fillers for glass jars and tin cans.
We provide plant layout drawings, steam and electricity consumption calculations, and on-site commissioning. Send your expected daily throughput and raw tomato variety for a guaranteed yield estimate and equipment list.

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.
