High pressure aseptic sterilizer for tomato paste
Ensure your tomato paste achieves optimal safety and quality with a high pressure aseptic sterilizer, perfect for maintaining consistency and enhancing shelf-life during large-scale production.
Sterilizes and Homogenizes Tomato Paste and Fruit Purées
The POSEIDON TCMA from Tropical Food Machinery is a high pressure aseptic sterilization plant tailored for the efficient processing of tomato paste and fruit purées. This plant stands out with its concentric tube sterilizer that applies uniform heat treatment through four concentric tubes, ensuring consistent sterilization both internally and externally across the product’s flow. It excels in handling uneven consistencies by achieving pressures above 100 bar, making it ideal for producing high-quality tomato paste, ketchup, and fruit nectars.
Operating in an automated, continuous manner, the POSEIDON TCMA integrates seamlessly into pre-existing tomato and fruit processing lines, accommodating a processing capacity ranging from 1,000 kg/h to 10,000 kg/h. The system employs a steam-powered superheated water circuit for optimal heat treatment and a dual water circuit for effective cooling, maintaining a precise outlet temperature of 30°C.
All components in contact with the product are constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance. Additionally, the plant supports efficient cleaning and maintenance, contributing to reduced downtime and enhanced production flow. With its robust engineering and precise operation, the POSEIDON TCMA caters to the varied needs of food processing, tomato paste manufacturing, and aseptic packaging plants.
