Tomato processing
Tomato processing is a complex but rewarding activity, from juice, purée, to paste, that demands precision, hygiene, and flexibility in plant setup. With advanced tomato processing machinery, you can preserve natural flavour and colour while maintaining a consistent yield. Whether small-scale or large-capacity, Alfa Lavals systems help you scale with efficiency and safeguard product quality throughout the tomato manufacturing process.
Tomato processing challenges and practical solutions
- Ensuring consistent quality and viscosity throughout the tomato processing line
- Managing hygiene, contamination risks, and downtime during production
- Securing high uptime when operating tomato processing machinery
- Keeping flavour, colour, and nutrients intact during thermal steps
- Optimizing the overall tomato manufacturing process for efficiency and yield
Modern tomato processing requires a fine balance between product quality, production efficiency, and operational reliability. From the moment raw tomatoes enter your facility, each step influences the final flavour, colour, and viscosity, choosing tomato processing equipment critical for consistent performance. Alfa Laval technologies are designed to minimize thermal impact, reduce waste, and maintain strict hygiene standards while supporting uninterrupted plant operation.
Whether you are producing juice, purée, or paste, the right tomato processing machinery helps reduce variability in the production process of tomatoes and ensures stable output across seasonal supply fluctuations. Our solutions streamline heat transfer, separation, and concentration tasks so producers can run a flexible, cost-efficient tomato manufacturing process with predictable results. With equipment built to handle demanding environments, you can safeguard quality, extend plant uptime, and scale production as market needs evolve.
Controlling viscosity, flavour, and colour in tomato processing
Managing viscosity, flavour, and colour is key in tomato processing. Our tomato processing equipment, including Foodec decanter centrifuges, helps produce juice, purée, or paste with the ideal texture while controlling mould risks and thermal stress. Alfa Laval’s thermal systems for sterilization and concentration preserve the tomato’s natural colour, ensuring your production process of tomatoes delivers consistent quality and customer satisfaction.
Versatile tomato processing machinery for all scales
Alfa Laval offers a broad line of tomato processing machinery that increases the versatility and efficiency of your operations. Whether you're running a tomato manufacturing process in a small multi-fruit plant or a dedicated high-volume purée or paste facility, our equipment delivers both high hygiene and excellent performance. You can adapt your process easily while keeping costs in check and maintaining product quality.
