Stage 1: Raw Material Preparation

Reception & Cleaning: Fresh tomatoes are cleaned in receiving tanks and inspected. Defective fruits are removed manually or by vision systems.

Crushing & Pulping: Qualified tomatoes are crushed into pulp, preheated, and processed in pulping/finishing machines to remove skin and seeds, producing fine tomato puree.

Stage 2: Concentration & Sterilization

Concentration: The puree is pumped into multi-effect vacuum evaporators, removing excess water under low temperature to reach 28%–36% brix.

Sterilization:

Hot Filling Path: UHT sterilization at ~135℃ for a few seconds, effectively eliminating microorganisms.

Aseptic Cold Filling Path: Pasteurization at lower temperature retains more flavor and nutrition.

Stage 3: Filling & Sealing

Aseptic Cold Filling: Sterilized puree is cooled to ambient temperature and filled in pre-sterilized pouches under aseptic conditions, ensuring maximum quality.

Hot Filling: Product at 85–95℃ is filled directly into pouches, using natural vacuum sealing. Lower cost and simpler process.

Stage 4: Post-treatment & Packaging

Secondary Sterilization (optional): Ensures additional shelf stability for hot-filled products.

Drying & Coding: Pouches are dried, then coded with production date and batch number.

Inspection: Weight checking and metal detection ensure compliance and eliminate contamination risks.

Cartoning & Palletizing: Final products are packed into cartons and palletized for storage.

• Extreme Efficiency, Higher Output
  The Pouch Tomato Paste Line combines high-speed concentration and automated filling, dramatically boosting daily capacity, especially during peak demand seasons.

• Significant Cost Optimization
