Flowchart
FRESH TOMATO ⇒ CONVEYOR ⇒ WASHING ⇒ SORTING ⇒ CRUSHING ⇒ PREHEATING ⇒ PULPER & REFINER ⇒ EVAPORATING ⇒ STERILIZING ⇒ ASEPTIC FILLING ⇒ STORAGE OR BLENDING
1. Discharge platform
When fresh tomato come, normally with big truck, if discharge with human, it would be very difficult. So we design the discharge platform and use water gun to discharge fresh tomato from truck, also use water to delivery fresh tomato to processing line. And there is another function of the discharge platform, it can pre-wash fresh tomato before processing.
2. Elevater / Conveyor
This machine is used to delivery fresh tomato from outside the building to inside.
3. Washing
Before crushing, need to washing fresh tomato carefully. For washing we can use bubble washing machine and spray washing machine together. If the washing requirement is high, can add more stages of washing. Also for better cleaning effect, we can add ultrasonic cleaning and ozone cleaning.
4. Sorting
After washing, the surface of tomato is clean, we can check the situation of all the tomatoes by eye. And sort out the bad tomatoes by human.
5. Crushing
The crusher is running with speed of 1470 r/min to crush fresh tomatoes to make sure all the tomatoes are fully crushed.
6. Preheating
The pre-heater is used to heat the product after crusher, the temperature is adjustable, normally from 45℃ to 85℃. This processing step, would help to higher the juice rate for next step, and also can protect the color and testing for final tomato paste.
7. Pulper and refiner
This machine is also running with speed of 1470 r/min, it causes the centrifugal force and the product will go through screen, helps to refine the product. And normally we use double stage of pulper and refiner, the screen of each stage is different, for first stage the screen would be bigger, and for second stage the screen would be smaller.
8. Evaporating
Vacuum Evaporator is used for concentrating the tomato paste under vacuum and low temperature. Here we are using Forced Circulation Vacuum Evaporator. Because it’s under vacuum and low temperature, so the test and nutrients would be protected as much as possible. And right now we get the tomato paste, normally the brix is 28-30 and 36-38.
9. Sterilizing
For tomato paste we use tube in tube type sterilizer for sterilizing. The sterilizing temperature and holding time is adjustable.with this machine we will heat the tomato paste to a very high temperature around 115℃ holding for 30s and then cooling to ambient temperature immediately. Like this way also can protect the test and nutrients of tomato paste as much as possible.
10. Aseptic Filling
The aseptic filling machine works together with the tube in tube type sterilizer. It’s a closed cycle. Before production, the cycle will be fully sterilized to make sure the aseptic environment. And the filling cavity is also protected by steam to make sure the filling environment is also aseptic.
11. Storage or go to blend
