Juice production lines

Tomato juice and purée production line

Check what equipment is included in a line for processing tomatoes into juice, purée, pulp or vegetable base.

Devices in line

Equipment for tomatoes and vegetables

We configure the line mainly for tomatoes: washing, grinding, pulping, pasteurization and filling of finished juice, pulp or purée.

01 / Raw material feeding

Bin tipper

Feeds tomatoes or other vegetables into the washer and stabilizes the start of the entire line.

03 / Pulping

De-stoning machine

Separates skins, seeds and larger solid fractions from tomato juice or pulp. This is a key stage in the production of tomato purée and tomato-based products.

04 / Buffering and filtration

Buffer tank and bag filter

The tank stabilizes product flow before pasteurization, while the bag filter helps produce a clearer product when filtration is required.

How the complete line works

From tomato intake to finished product

A tomato processing line must wash the raw material thoroughly, grind it before pulping and transfer the product steadily to pasteurization and filling. The configuration is selected according to fresh tomatoes, target capacity, product density and packaging method.

Raw material intake and preparation

The process starts with feeding tomatoes into the line. The raw material goes to the washer with grinder, where it is rinsed, transported and ground so that the de-stoning machine can separate skins and seeds more effectively.

Pulping and buffering

The de-stoning machine separates skins, seeds and larger solid fractions. The resulting juice, pulp or purée goes to a buffer tank, which stabilizes operation between de-stoning, pasteurization and filling.

Pasteurization and filling

The finished product is heated in a pasteurizer to a set temperature to improve shelf life and product safety. At the end of the line, the product can be filled into Bag-in-Box bags or bottles, depending on the sales model and planned capacity.

What do we choose in the project?

  • washing, grinding, pulping, pasteurization and filling capacity,
  • product type: tomato juice, pulp, purée or vegetable base,
  • packaging method: Bag-in-Box or bottles,
  • arrangement of equipment for the hall, operation and subsequent service.

Line selection by raw material

FAQ

Tomato and vegetable processing line

Which vegetables can this line be configured for?

This system is described mainly for tomatoes, but the configuration can also be adapted to selected soft vegetables or vegetable products that require washing, grinding, pulping and pasteurization.

Why is a washer with grinder needed for tomatoes?

The washer washes, transports and grinds tomatoes before the pulping stage. Ground raw material passes through the de-stoning machine more easily, allowing the machine to separate skins and seeds from juice or pulp more effectively.

What is the role of a de-stoning machine?

The de-stoning machine separates skins, seeds and larger solid fractions from the product. This makes it possible to obtain tomato juice, pulp, purée or a base for further processing.

What does the tomato processing process look like?

The process includes raw material feeding, washing and grinding of tomatoes, pulping, product buffering, pasteurization and filling into Bag-in-Box bags or bottles.

Does this line use a belt press?

Not in a typical tomato configuration. The main processing stage is the de-stoning machine, because it separates skins and seeds from the product.

What can be produced from tomatoes?

You can produce tomato juice, pulp, purée, vegetable base or a semi-finished product for further processing. The final machine selection depends on product density and packaging method.

What filling method works best for tomato products?

Bag-in-Box or bottle filling is most often used. The filling machine is selected according to product density, filling temperature, packaging type and target capacity.

What does the line capacity depend on?

Capacity depends on the amount of raw material, washer with grinder model, de-stoning machine operation, pasteurizer capacity, buffering and filling method.
