The tomato processing facility on a small scale can produce tomato sauce products with a yield of 250 kg/h that are acceptable for 30% Brix. The production process involves crushing, pulping, concentrating, filling, and sterilizing the ripe red tomatoes that are used as the raw material. Miniature Tomato Sauce Production Line Parameter 1: Fresh Tomatoes as the Primary Ingredient
- The completed items. Ketchup and tomato sauce for dipping (Mixed with nitric acid, starch, and sugar)
- Brix:28-30%
- If there has to be a 5% Brix content in the fresh tomato, then there must be 1500kg/h of fresh tomato.
- Production rate of 250 kg/h of concentrated tomato sauce with a Brix content of 30%
- The methods of packaging used are sachet packaging and PET packaging
- Semi-automated production line
Working Procedure of the Tomato Sauce Production Machine: Tomato — Bubble Washing — Crushing — Pulp Making — Storage Tank — Screw Pump — Concentrating and Mixing — Screw Pump — Sauce Filling — Sterilization. All of the aforementioned procedures are associated with the following apparatus: The tomatoes are cleaned in a tomato washing machine by being subjected to the pressure of both air bubbles and water pressure. Often referred to as the tomato floating machine, the tomato washing machine is a type of washing machine that was developed specifically for use with tomatoes. It has two layers, the first of which is the typical mesh belt with stainless steel fence tube that we attitudinally attitude. Because of the creative construction of the two layers, the sand and gravel will fall to the bottom layer, where they will wash away. Tomatoes are broken up by a machine specifically designed for that purpose to facilitate the production of pulp. Crushing the tomato is necessary before we can generate tomato pulp, and in some cases, we'll need to cut the tomato first before we can smash it. On the one hand, the crushed tomato will provide a more uniform feedstock for the subsequent pulp production process; on the other hand, crushing the tomato will significantly increase the amount of pulp that can be extracted from the tomato. The equipment that has a single channel and performs an automatic separation of tomato pulp and residue is known as a pulp-making machine. The primary purpose of the tomato pulp machine is to mash and peel the berries, such as tomatoes after they have been cut and crushed. This is done to ensure that the pulp and juice are kept separate from the remaining components of the tomato, making it easier to concentrate the juice and finish the remaining steps of the process. Tank for temporary storage: This tank, which is constructed out of high-quality SUS304 stainless steel and is used for temporarily storing tomato pulp; Cooking Pot: Used to reduce the amount of water in tomato pulp and concentrate tomato pulp. The sterilizing and concentration processes can both be carried out in the same cooking pot for tomato sauce. It can serve multiple purposes and is cost-effective. You can customize the amount of time spent in the oven for each final product (Ketchup, tomato sauce, tomato paste, tomato puree). When you cook something for a longer period, there will be less water in the finished result. Filling various sizes of bottles with tomato sauce using a machine that also does the same for ketchup and tomato sauce. The semi-automatic filling machine features an acceptable design, a compact model, and a simple operation. The filling volume and filling speed can both be adjusted freely, the filling speed is quick, and the humanized design is better suited to meet the demands of current businesses. Pressurization Machine: Pasteurize the sachet in 80-degree water. Benefits of Operating a Small-Scale Tomato Processing Plant:
- Small Scale Tomato Processing To ensure that on-site construction and operation are carried out sensibly, it is necessary to design and arrange plant installation and positioning according to the size and characteristics of the plant.
- The design concept of energy saving and emission reduction results in energy savings that is greater than 20% compared to equipment used in the same industry.
- The process design is one of a kind, and the layout of the pipeline connections ensures that the tomatoes' natural scent components are kept intact.
- A fully automatic control system, an automatic fault alert system, and an all-encompassing safety guarantee mechanism to protect both employees and equipment.
