The core process of a tomato paste production line consists of raw material pre-treatment, refining, sterilization and packaging, and finished product storage. Following aseptic packaging, the tomato paste can be further processed into products such as ketchup, various sauces, and fruit juices, which can then be packaged in cans, bottles, or pouches.
Capacity: 500-2000kg/h
