Automatic tomato ketchup production line with cooking, evaporation, sterilization and filling. HACCP compliant, stainless steel design.
The HSYL Automatic Tomato Ketchup Production Line is a fully integrated industrial solution designed for the continuous production of tomato ketchup, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. The line covers the complete process from fresh tomato handling to final filling and packaging, delivering stable product quality, high hygiene standards, and efficient automation.
Engineered for medium to large-scale food processing plants, HSYL’s tomato ketchup production line offers flexible capacity configurations and modular design. With precise temperature control, viscosity management, and hygienic stainless-steel construction, the system helps manufacturers achieve consistent color, flavor, and Brix value, while reducing labor and operating costs.
PLC-based centralized control system
Integrated cooking, evaporation, and mixing modules
Hygienic SUS 304 / 316L stainless steel design
Stable viscosity, color, and flavor control
The HSYL tomato ketchup production line integrates the following key processing stages:
Fresh tomato receiving
Washing and sorting
Crushing and pulping
Pre-heating (hot break / cold break)
Evaporation and concentration
Seasoning and mixing
Sterilization
Filling and packaging
Each process section is optimized to ensure product safety, processing efficiency, and consistent final quality.
Fresh tomatoes are cleaned using bubble washing and spray systems to remove soil, impurities, and foreign materials. Manual or automatic sorting stations can be integrated to eliminate unqualified raw materials before processing.
Benefits:
Improved raw material quality
Reduced contamination risk
Stable downstream processing
The crushing and pulping section uses high-efficiency crushers and double-stage pulpers to separate skins and seeds while maximizing juice yield. The system ensures smooth pulp texture and high extraction efficiency.
Benefits:
High yield rate
Uniform pulp consistency
Reduced raw material waste
The pre-heating system allows selection between hot break and cold break processes, depending on the desired viscosity and color of the final product. Precise temperature control helps preserve natural tomato flavor while stabilizing pectin structure.
Benefits:
Controlled viscosity
Enhanced color retention
Flexible product formulation
HSYL integrates vacuum evaporators designed for gentle water removal under controlled temperatures. This process ensures accurate Brix control while preventing caramelization or flavor degradation.
Benefits:
Energy-efficient concentration
Stable Brix value
Improved product appearance and taste
Seasoning ingredients such as sugar, salt, vinegar, and spices are added through automated dosing systems. High-shear mixers and homogenizers ensure uniform blending and stable texture.
Benefits:
Consistent flavor distribution
Stable viscosity
Reduced batch variation
The line supports tubular or plate sterilization systems, followed by hot filling or aseptic filling depending on packaging requirements. Filling systems can be configured for bottles, pouches, sachets, or other containers.
Benefits:
Reliable food safety
Extended shelf life
Flexible packaging options
