Tomato paste production line
Maximize tomato yield and flavor retention with this robust processing line designed to ensure consistent quality and efficiency for high-capacity production environments.

Concentrates Tomato Paste Efficiently
The Evaporator ZEUS from Tropical Food Machinery is engineered for the efficient concentration of tomato paste, leveraging advanced forced circulation to achieve high-capacity water evaporation—up to 50,000 liters per hour. Ideal for food and beverage manufacturers, it processes fresh tomatoes into paste, puree, and concentrate while preserving organoleptic qualities.
The unit supports both hot and cold break enzymatic inactivation methods, integrating seamlessly with upstream washing and sorting belts and downstream sterilization and filling plants, ensuring compatibility across continuous processing lines. Energy efficiency is a hallmark, with optimized thermal systems reducing operational costs. Constructed from durable, food-grade materials, ZEUS offers options for various production capacities, from 20 to 1,500 tons per day, meeting international standards for export.
The evaporator features automatic controls with PLC interface, enhancing operational efficiency and allowing for remote monitoring and diagnostics. It also includes engineering support for customization, ensuring it adapts to specific production needs, and adheres to stringent safety and quality certifications, making it a reliable choice for high-demand industrial applications.
