What Is Pulping in Tomatoes?

What is pulping in tomatoes? Tomato pulping is a tomato processing technology that is mainly used to process fresh tomatoes into fine tomato pulp (Tomato Puree) for further production of tomato sauce, tomato juice or other tomato products. By pulping, the skin, seeds and crude fiber of tomatoes can be removed while maintaining their original nutrients and natural flavor, making the finished product more uniform and tastier.

Which machine used for tomato pulping?

To ensure efficiency and product quality, professional tomato pulping machine are usually used. The function of tomato pulping machine is to fully pulverize the tomato pulp, separate the pulp, skin and seeds, and finally get fine tomato pulp. The pulping machine used in factories generally consist of the following main parts:

*Crushing device: crushing tomatoes into small pieces.

*Filtration system: through rotating screen or centrifugal force, filter out the skin, seeds and other impurities, and keep only the delicate pulp.

*Power system: Provide continuous and stable processing capacity.

Workflow of tomato pulping machine:

*Feeding: pre-treated tomatoes are fed into the feeding port of the pulping machine.

*Preliminary crushing: the crushing blade cuts the tomato and breaks up the pulp tissue.

*Filtering and separating: The crushed tomato passes through the rotating screen, the skin and seeds are separated to the waste outlet and the pulp is collected.

*Adjusting fineness: The machine can control the fineness of the pulp by changing the aperture of the screen or adjusting the rotating speed to meet the requirements of different products.

Advantages:

*High efficiency: mechanized operations are able to handle large quantities of tomatoes, suitable for industrial production.

*Uniformity and fineness: modern pulping machines produce high-quality pulp with fewer manual errors.

*Convenient waste disposal: separated tomato skins and seeds can be further utilized as by-products.

Stable: the equipment operates stably and ensures consistent product quality.
