Canned Ketchup Production Line
The automated tomato canning line is suitable for diced tomatoes, tomato chunks, ketchup, and other tomato-based products, supporting standardized large-scale processing of fresh tomatoes.
For ketchup filling, the system can maintain stable hot filling at 90°C ±1°C, with automatic return and preheating for low-temperature material to reduce microbial risk. A servo pump filling system can also be configured for high-viscosity ketchup to improve filling stability and reduce splashing.
| Input capacity | 500 kg/h – 20,000 kg/h for tomato pulp or diced tomatoes | High-throughput processing can be customized for short tomato harvest seasons and intensive production schedules, helping prevent material backlog. |
| Product forms | Viscous paste, diced tomatoes, and whole tomatoes | Multi-channel filling can be configured, with piston filling for paste and measuring cup filling with liquid topping for diced tomatoes. |
| Filling temperature | 85°C – 95°C for hot filling | An automatic circulation and return system helps keep the filling temperature above 85°C. |
| Accurate filling | Filling accuracy: ±0.5%; speed: 60–300 cans/min, customizable for high-speed production |
| High-speed seaming | Residual oxygen: ≤2%; suitable can sizes: 70g, 210g, 400g, 800g, and 3kg |
| Continuous sterilization | Sterilization time: 15–45 min, adjustable; cooling outlet temperature: ≤40°C |
| End-of-line packaging | Carton formats: full wrap, half-tray, and shrink wrapping |
