Key Advantages


Processing Flow

The HSYL tomato ketchup production line integrates the following key processing stages:

  1. Fresh tomato receiving

  2. Washing and sorting

  3. Crushing and pulping

  4. Pre-heating (hot break / cold break)

  5. Evaporation and concentration

  6. Seasoning and mixing

  7. Sterilization

  8. Filling and packaging

Each process section is optimized to ensure product safety, processing efficiency, and consistent final quality.


Core Processing Systems

Tomato Washing & Sorting System

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:


Crushing & Pulping System

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:


Pre-Heating (Hot Break / Cold Break)

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:


Evaporation & Concentration System

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:


Mixing & Homogenization System

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:


Sterilization & Filling System

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.
