Ketchup Processing Line


Introduction


There are many ways to pack ketchup, including tinplate filling, glass bottle filling, pouch filling and so on. Different packaging methods use different equipment, which will affect the project cost. Customers can choose according to their own needs, the use of finished products and the more popular packaging methods in the local market.For example, ready-to-eat ketchup can be packaged in small bags with four sides sealed. As a cooking seasoning, we can use tinplate filling or PET filling, etc.


Feature and Advantage


● The main structure of the device is made of high-quality food-grade 304 stainless steel;

● The specifications of the equipment can be selected according to the actual needs of customers;

● The quality of the end product is good

● High production efficiency, flexible production, and can customize the production line plan according to the actual needs of customers.


Production Process

Flow Chart——ketchup


The tomato ketchup production line uses concentrated tomato juice (28-30 Brix or 56-58 Brix) as the main raw material,

-The concentrated tomato juice was first diluted into 20-22 Brix or 12-14 Brix of tomato sauce with pure water (RO water).

-Prepare salt, sugar, vinegar, starch, preservative (soda) benzoate, potassium sorbate) and other seasoning materials.The purpose is to increase the flavor of the tomato ketchup and extend the shelf life.

-Transfer the above raw materials to the dispensing tank for mixing

-The deployed materials are homogenized, which enables better integration of these materials.

-Pasteurization: To extend the shelf life of the tomato sauce, we need to sterilize the tomato sauce seasoning.

-After sterilization, the ketup sauce seasoning is loaded into containers such as sealed bags, tin cans, bottles, dose packs or brick boxes according to actual needs.Filling should be ketchup hot filling (85-89℃) because ketchup is nutritious and hot filling also extends the shelf life of the product.

-After filling, the finished product will be secondary pasteurized via a water pasteurizer or spray pasteurized cooling channel before cooling the ketchup from 80℃to an ambient temperature of 50℃.

-Package the container into cartons or shrink wrap.


Ketchup conveyor system

The concentrated ketchup was pumped from the sterile bag into the mixing tank, the delivery system consisting of an electronic scale, a pneumatic piston pump, an electric elevator and pipe.

High-shear lysis system

The high shear lysis system is used for the dissolution of all powder components and mainly consists of parts such as a high shear dissolution tank, rotor pump and double filter.Pour hot water into the high shear dissolution tank into the tank according to the formula ratio, and then open the high-speed mixer dissolution material. After all raw materials are dissolved, pump into the double filter to separate the solid, and then sent into the mixing tank for deployment.

Blending Tank

The blending process is the core process of tomato ketchup seasoning processing, as after mixing, we obtained a semi-automatic ketchup product.Hybrid process is also a thermal mixing process and can improve production efficiency.The temperature was controlled at about 6O-65℃ and the mixing time at about 15 – 30 minutes according to the composition.
The mixing pool is mixed by three layers of SUS304/316 material 2B plates and a paddle mixer at a mixing speed of 0-65rpm.It is the ideal device for mixing diluted tomato concentrate, sugar and other ingredients into ketchup.The tank is equipped with material inlet, outlet, PT100 thermometer, steam valve set, liquid level sensor, CIP cleaning ball, sanitary valve, etc.

Homogenizer
The tomato suspension in the tomato ketchup homogenized by the homogenizer has a smaller particle size and a higher viscosity. Under the action of shearing and impact, the ketchup is thinner and tastes smoother.
The high pressure homogenizer is mainly composed of a high pressure pump and a homogeneous valve.The uniform pressure of the material is between 25-40mpa.

Tubular sterilization machine
After mixing the tomato sauce evenly, pump it into the sterilization machine for sterilization treatment, which can extend the shelf life of the product.The sterilization temperature was 55℃-105℃, sterilization time for 120 seconds.Material outlet temperature was set at 85℃, for hot filling.Due to the high viscosity of ketchup, we generally use a tube pasteurizer.

Tomato sauce filling machine
After homogenized and pasteurized ketchup can be packed in four-sided sealed bags, tin cans, PET or glass bottles and self-reliance bags according to customer needs to match suitable filling equipment according to different packaging methods.

Water bath sterilization / spray cooling

The final product needs to be secondary pasteurized to better extend the shelf life.There are two kinds of secondary sterilization equipment, and we can choose according to the different packaging methods of the finished product.For tin cans or bottled tomato ketchup we use spray pasteurization, cooling channels spray hot water on the finished surface, then use cooling water to room temperature; for dose packs or self-reliance bags we use a water bath pasteurized .Soak dose packs or self-reliance bags in hot water for pasteurization, then cool with cold water, and finally blow off the droplets on the bag surface with compressor air.The secondary sterilization process was to preheat with 95℃ of hot water, then precooled with warm water to 65℃, and finally cooled to room temperature.The whole process takes about 40-60 minutes.
