Tomato Paste Production Line and Factory Setup
A tomato paste production line is a complete industrial system designed to transform fresh tomatoes into concentrated paste under controlled hygienic and process conditions. The line produces tomato paste in bulk or retail packs depending on the selected concentration and packaging equipment.
From an industrial perspective, tomato paste manufacturing is important because it combines washing, crushing, pre-heating, refining, vacuum concentration and sterilization to achieve consistent soluble solids, colour and shelf life. The process relies on a defined sequence of unit operations that must be correctly engineered, sized and integrated.
Primary raw materials typically include fresh tomatoes, salt, citric acid, water and packaging materials. The core machinery set consists of washing systems, crushers, pre-heaters, refiners, batch or continuous concentrators, sterilizers and filling equipment.
The Industrial Department supports investors who want to establish a new tomato paste factory as well as existing plant owners who need repair, overhaul, capacity expansion or automation of their current lines. Projects can start from an empty site or from an operating facility that requires technical upgrading.
Whether the goal is a green-field turnkey tomato paste plant in Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan or other regional markets, or the modernization of an existing line in Iran, engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning and ongoing technical support can be provided under defined contractual scopes.
Production Line Overview
The tomato paste production line is engineered as an integrated process system covering receiving, washing, sorting, crushing, pre-heating, refining, concentration, sterilization and packaging. Design capacity is determined during the engineering phase and can range according to available tomato supply and market requirements.
Product types include bulk tomato paste and retail-packed paste. The overall process flow follows a defined sequence: receiving and washing, sorting, crushing, pre-heating, refining, vacuum concentration, sterilization and filling.
Main machinery groups include washing systems (capacity up to 50–1500 tons/day scale), crushers, pre-heaters (65–85 °C), batch or continuous concentrators, sterilizers and fillers. Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, steam, process water and wastewater treatment.
Manpower requirements depend on the degree of automation. Quality control covers Brix, colour, consistency, microbiological safety and package integrity.

Manufacturing Process
- Receiving and Washing – Tomatoes are received and thoroughly washed.
- Sorting – Defective tomatoes are removed.
- Crushing – Tomatoes are crushed to release juice and pulp.
- Pre-heating – The mass is pre-heated to 65–85 °C.
- Refining – Seeds and skins are separated.
- Concentration – Juice is concentrated under vacuum (batch or continuous).
- Sterilization – The paste is sterilized.
- Filling and Sealing – Product is filled into drums, cans or pouches.
Machinery & Equipment
- Washing System – Removes dirt and foreign matter. Position: first stage. Importance: hygiene foundation. Quality impact: residual soil affects final quality. Maintenance: nozzles and conveyors. Sahi Rasa support includes design, installation and spare parts.
- Crusher – Breaks tomatoes. Position: after sorting. Importance: releases juice efficiently. Quality impact: over-crushing can affect colour. Maintenance: knives and drives.
- Pre-heater – Raises temperature to 65–85 °C. Position: after crushing. Importance: enzyme inactivation and yield. Quality impact: incorrect temperature affects colour and viscosity. Maintenance: heat exchangers.
- Concentrator (Batch or Continuous) – Removes water under vacuum. Position: core process stage. Importance: determines final Brix and capacity. Quality impact: temperature and vacuum control affect colour and flavour. Maintenance: evaporators, vacuum system and controls.
- Sterilizer and Filler – Ensures commercial sterility and accurate filling. Position: end of line. Importance: shelf life and net weight. Quality impact: incomplete sterilization or inaccurate fill causes quality issues. Maintenance: heat exchangers and filling valves.
Factory Layout & Building Requirements
Typical areas include tomato receiving, washing, processing, concentration, filling, packaging, quality control, utilities, wastewater treatment and staff facilities. Exact area is determined during engineering.
