Thermal treatment system for tomato purees
Eliminate pectin enzyme activity and prevent syneresis in your purees and concentrates with a hot break system that ensures improved consistency and viscosity, streamlining your production with efficient thermal processing and automatic temperature control.

Inactivates Enzymes and Stabilizes Puree Viscosity
The Hot Break System from JBT is engineered specifically for the precise demands of fruit and tomato processing. This system employs immediate heating and recirculation technology to effectively inactivate pectin enzymes and prevent syneresis, crucial for maintaining consistent quality in purees and concentrates. Equipped with an automatic temperature control system and a robust centrifugal pump, it ensures thermal inertia and viscosity stabilization. Ideal for producing tomato paste, apple puree, and various fruit and vegetable concentrates, it seamlessly integrates into continuous, automatic operations. The system’s design emphasizes energy efficiency, optimizing motor performance for reduced consumption, while its stainless steel construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance. Available with customization options to fit specific processing needs, the Hot Break System provides reliable operation with easy integration into your existing production line.
