Tomato / Industrial processing equipment
Equipment for fresh-tomato concentration, bulk-paste ketchup production and puree preparation. Explore the machines, connected process and packaging scope for the product you want to make.
Start with the incoming material
A fresh-tomato line extracts and concentrates. A ketchup line can begin with purchased bulk paste and move straight into formulation and packaging.
Choose your production route →The production scopes
Choose a complete fresh-fruit route, a bulk-paste reprocessing line or a preparation section for your existing process.
Build the line around the tomato harvest, the paste specification and the required bulk pack. The fresh-fruit section prepares a screened pulp; the evaporator removes water; the thermal and filling section establishes the final product and package process. Each section has a different capacity basis.
Explore this production scope →Start with purchased aseptic tomato paste when the product is a formulated ketchup or sauce. This route combines paste handling, ingredient preparation, controlled mixing and the chosen finishing and packaging operations. It does not require a fresh-tomato intake or an evaporator simply because tomato is the main ingredient.
Explore this production scope →A puree preparation section is a practical purchase when blending, final heating or packaging already exists downstream. Its job is to receive prepared fresh material and deliver screened puree with a defined texture, temperature and flow condition at the transfer interface.

Equipment in a real application / Niger, 2022
This reported supply example connects bulk-paste reprocessing to can filling and the surrounding packaging operations. Its scope makes a useful distinction between buying a fresh-fruit plant and expanding a paste-based packing operation.
Inside the line
Whole fruit to crushed feed
A horizontal driven knife rotor reduces prepared tomatoes before preheating and pulping. The opened machine view reveals the cutting elements, perforated lower basket and discharge below the housing. Selecting the crusher around a consistent downstream feed is more useful than treating motor power as a finished-paste capacity.
From refined pulp to concentrate
The evaporator receives a defined refined tomato stream and removes water to reach the selected concentrate. As solids and viscosity increase, circulation, heat transfer and cleaning become central equipment decisions. The system is sized from feed and outlet conditions, with evaporated water and finished paste reported separately.
Bulk concentrate packaging
The bag filler transfers suitably processed tomato paste into a compatible aseptic package. The illustrated system has two drum positions, individual roller lanes and overhead filling-head supports. Its useful output depends on product delivery, metering and the complete bag-change cycle, not just the flow while a head is open.
Fresh tomato to bulk paste
Keep incoming tomatoes, rejected material, screened pulp, removed water and finished paste on their own measurement basis.
Wash, elevate and inspect the incoming tomatoes before controlled feeding to the crusher.
Coordinate break treatment with pulping and screening to obtain the intended pulp consistency.
Match the evaporator to refined feed and final concentration, with viscosity and cleaning in view.
Connect the selected final thermal process to the aseptic bag and its filling interface.
