Tomato paste is a popular condiment used extensively in restaurants and home cooking. To achieve efficient, hygienic, and standardized production, factories often opt for a tomato paste machine complete production line. This line uses fresh tomatoes as raw material and, after a series of processing steps, produces concentrated tomato paste.
Ingredients and Finished Product:
Ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes
Finished Product: Tomato Paste. The concentration (Brix value) can be adjusted to meet customer needs, such as 28-30%, 36-38%, etc.
Tomato Paste Machine Complete Production Line Features:
- Fully automatic control system: Key equipment is equipped with a plc control system for easy operation.
- Customized production capacity: The production line can be designed to process 5, 20, or 50 tons of food per day, depending on customer needs.
- High hygienic design standards: All food-contact parts are constructed of food-grade 304/316 stainless steel, complying with haccp and gmp standards.
- High yield, low energy consumption: The pulping, concentration, and sterilization equipment are optimized to maximize raw material utilization and minimize energy loss.

Whether your business is a startup or expanding, we offer customized solutions and comprehensive after-sales service, helping you upgrade your tomato production chain from tomato cultivation to high-value-added processing.
Main Production Process of Tomato Paste Machine Complete Production Line:
- Washing and sorting: Fresh tomatoes are washed to effectively remove surface sand, impurities, and pesticide residues. They are then sorted manually or mechanically to remove rotten or substandard fruit.
- Pulping and peeling: A pulper is used to separate the tomato skin and seeds, retaining only the pulp and juice to produce the primary tomato pulp.
- Concentration: The tomato pulp is concentrated in a vacuum concentrator. Using negative pressure, low-temperature evaporation technology, this process preserves the tomato's flavor and nutrients while removing excess water to achieve the desired concentration.
- Sterilization: The concentrated tomato paste undergoes a high-temperature transient sterilization (HTST) process to kill microorganisms and ensure food safety.
- Aseptic Filling: After sterilization, the tomato paste is immediately filled into aseptic bags or packaging containers using an aseptic filling machine, ensuring the product can be stored at room temperature for long periods without deterioration.
