Complete Tomato Juice Processing Plant | Cold Break Technology for Clear Juice & Beverage Stability
Designed specifically for drinkable tomato juice and beverage bases, this processing plant distinguishes itself from paste-oriented lines by utilizing Cold Break technology. Instead of high-heat treatment, the crushed tomatoes are maintained at moderate temperatures (typically 60-75°C) to preserve the natural fresh flavor profile and prevent the cooked note often found in ketchup lines. This gentle thermal profile is essential for producing a juice that remains palatable and refreshing after pasteurization and bottling.
The extraction section employs a high-efficiency screw or belt press paired with a fine-mesh refiner, targeting a smooth mouthfeel while minimizing pulp oxidation. A dedicated de-aeration and homogenization stage prevents phase separation during shelf life, ensuring a consistent, uniform product. The line includes a tubular or plate pasteurizer with precise holding tubes to achieve commercial sterility without scorching the juice. For packaging, the system is compatible with hot-fill glass bottles, PET lines, or aseptic cartons. With a modular skid design and automated temperature logging, this plant is optimized for juice bars, co-packers, and health-focused beverage brands requiring high clarity and fresh taste.

Detailed Process Steps
1. Discharge Platform
Specialized drainage platform with water guns simplifies raw mango unloading from trucks while providing pre-washing capabilities to enhance production line efficiency.
2. Elevator
This machine transports fresh mango from outside the building to inside the processing facility.
3. Washing
Thorough washing of fresh fruits prior to crushing using bubble washers and brush & spray washers. Optional ultrasonic and ozone cleaning methods available for enhanced cleaning efficacy.
4. Sorting
Visual inspection by staff after washing to identify defects, ensuring only high-quality fruits proceed through the production line.
5. Destoning
Mango remover operates at 1470 r/min, effectively crushing fresh mango to ensure thorough cleaning of core and skin, maximizing pulp yield and production efficiency.
6. Preheating
Adjustable temperature pre-heater (45℃ to 85℃) increases juice yield for subsequent processing while protecting final product color and taste.
7. Pulper and Refiner
Operating at 1470 r/min, this machine generates centrifugal force to pass product through screens for refinement. Suitable for various fruits including passion fruit, tomatoes, peaches, apricots, mangoes, and apples.
8. Horizontal Spiral Centrifugal
Reduces solids and impurities to ensure mango pulp puree is free from contaminants and black spots.
9. Sterilizing
Tube-in-tube type sterilizer with adjustable temperature and retention time for different product requirements. Programmable control system ensures precise automation.
10. Aseptic Filling
Operates with tube-in-tube sterilizer in closed cycle system. Vapor-protected filling cavity maintains sterility throughout the packaging process.
11. Storage or Blending
Final product can be stored as-is or used as raw material for producing mango sauce or other products.
