Cold break system for tomato processing
Enhance product quality and consistency in liquid processing by utilizing precise thermal treatment to manage enzyme activity and syneresis, creating optimal conditions for producing smooth tomato and fruit juices, as well as vegetable purees with superior flavor and texture.

Enhances Syneresis and Controls Viscosity
The Cold Break System from JBT FoodTech offers a specialized solution for food and beverage manufacturers requiring precise control over enzyme activity during the production of tomato-based products, fruit juices, and purees. This equipment gradually increases the temperature to 60-70°C, facilitating enzyme inactivation while enhancing syneresis to maintain low viscosity. With its continuous operation design, the system efficiently processes various end-products, including tomato juice, marinara sauce, and apple juice. It features a user-friendly interface with a temperature controller, air-operated steam control valve, and essential monitoring tools such as a safety valve, automatic steam trap, and pressure gauge. Compatible with CIP systems to ensure easy cleaning and maintenance, the Cold Break System integrates seamlessly into existing fruit and vegetable processing lines, offering energy-efficient operation tailored to your production needs.
