Tomato Packagin Line

Packagin Tomato Paste In Tin Cans & Glass Jars

Tomato Paste Packaging Line

Tomato Paste is one of the products that is seen in the food basket of every family and is offered by manufacturers in various packaging according to the target market. The most important type of packaging for this product is packaging in tin and glass jars.

The pasteurization section of this line is designed in a way that guarantees the shelf life of products packaged in glass and cans for up to 24 months.

The capacity of the tomato paste packaging line is measured by the number of cans and jars produced per day. This line has the ability to package 15,000 to 50,000 pieces per day.

1. Batch Vacuum Pan

To reach capacities of more than 300 tons of input per day, a continuous concentrator must be used. The tomato juice is constantly moving in the tanks of this concentrator, and as the tomato juice enters from one side, the final tomato paste exits from the other. To maintain the quality of the product, the cooking operation in this concentrator is also carried out under vacuum conditions and at a temperature of less than 70 degrees Celsius.

2. Pasteurizer & Salting Tanks

The diluted paste is transferred to salting tanks, where 1.5% salt is added, and then it moves through the pasteurizer tubes. This serves two purposes: first, pasteurizing the product to kill microorganisms, and second, transferring the hot product to the filling machine, both of which contribute to the long shelf life of the product.

3. Can Tray

The operator removes the empty cans from the pallet and places them on the rotating tray of this machine. With each rotation, the rotating tray, with the help of the centrifugal force it creates, guides the cans to the side of the machine. The cans exit from an outlet built into one side of the tray and are placed on the conveyor belt of the next machine.

4. Cans Steam Washing

The cans must be sterilized before filling, by using nozzles to force steam into the empty cans. Eventually, the cans are dry and ready to be filled.

5. Tomato Paste Filler

The filling machine fills the pasteurized product into empty cans or jars at an average temperature of 85°C. This method, called hot filling, is one of the important steps in canning the product for a long shelf life.

6. Can Seamer

The filled cans are transferred to the capping machine by a conveyor belt. When the sensor detects the can entering, a cap is placed on the rail and the can is guided by a screw on the pedal. At the same time, the can cap is placed on the body and when the pedal of the machine is raised, the can and the can cap are exposed to the sewing rollers. These rollers, with the neck around the can, form the edges of the cap in two stages (the first and second steps) and finalize the can seal.

7. Glass Jar Steam Washing

The jars must be sterilized before being filled, for this purpose, nozzles force water vapor into the empty jars.

8. Glass Jars Dryer

Water left over from washing glass can cause mold and spoil the product before its expiration date. To prevent this from happening, in a glass drying machine, the glasses pass through a heat tunnel and the heat generated by the element dries them completely.

9. Glass Lid Twist Off

This machine has a door transition rail that fixes the door on the glass before it enters the main section. After that, the glass moves on a conveyor belt and passes between the door closing heads, and the glass door is rotated by these heads until it is completely closed.

10. Tunnel Pasterization

11. Glass Lid Nylon Wrapper

In the packaging of glass, a nylon sheath is seen around the door to indicate that the glass is sealed and of course the name of the manufacturing company. The sheathing machine first places this sheath around the glass and in the second stage, it shrinks it by passing it through a heat tunnel.

12. Labeling

This machine applies the product label to the glass packaging. The label is placed on a roll on the labeler, the sensor issues the command to start the operation when the product arrives, and the machine applies the label to the glass by rotating it. Finally, the label is cut by a cutter and the paper behind the label is removed from the cycle.

13. Ink Jet Printer

A jet printer is used to print production information, including the product’s manufacturing code in the factory, production date, expiration date, and product price. When a can or jar is placed on the conveyor belt and passes under the nozzle, the jet printer detects its presence and automatically prints the desired information.

14. Shrink Wrapping

The cans and jars are arranged on cardboard or short-edge plastic by the operator. They are then guided into the shrink pack by a front jack and wrapped in nylon. Inside the tunnel, the heat generated by the element forms the nylon and packs the cans.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Tomato Paste production line

Can we vary the packaging or not?

To diversify the packaging, it is necessary to determine the type of packaging and order a can or glass to produce it. If the fundamental change is in the shape and form of the can or glass, there is a need to place this product in the daily consumption culture of the people, which should be done by planning and advertising.

With what capacity should we start the Tomato Paste Packing Line?

A capacity that, in addition to justifying fixed and current costs, can introduce your product in the market.

The steps that are usually mentioned in standard phasing are:

The first phase is the founder’s knowledge of the production process and familiarization with the relevant environment and the obstacles ahead, obtaining solutions to overcome the barriers, opportunities, and challenges ahead are experienced in the first year.
In the second phase of advertising, continuous presence, exploitation of opportunities, and offering sales offers with minimum profit and maximum circulation, distributors and sellers familiarize themselves with the product produced in the second year.
The third phase is diversification in products and reduction of business costs, reduction of production costs, and focus on creating a target market according to the data obtained over two years.
The fourth phase is an appropriate response to customer requests according to business and sales feedback, the establishment of internal and external representation, product production considering the environment and target market and customer order, and competitive product export.

What kind of help does SEAMERCO offer to the customer to set up a tomato paste factory?

Which is better, tomato paste production or packaging line production?

To answer this question, the advantages and disadvantages of each of them should be considered.

Paste production: communication with the farmer and problems of obtaining tomatoes, seasonality of production, proximity to agricultural land, and mass sale.
Packaging: supply of quality pulp, extreme fluctuations in the price of packaging materials, product branding, and sales in packaging.

Where should we start?

Based on Seamerco’s proposed model for starting a production line, the path of entrepreneurs from the time of the formation of an idea to the production of the final product includes the following.

The first step is expert consultation and an initial feasibility study.
The second step is presenting a justification plan and obtaining an establishment license.
Third step: designing and manufacturing machinery.
Fourth step: Implementation of infrastructure and production line launch.
The fifth step is trial production of the product and obtaining an operating license.
The sixth step is obtaining health permits.
Seventh step: training and counseling.
Eighth step: final production, marketing, and sales of the product.
