At Maquinaria Tomás Guillén, we are specialists in food industry machinery, we have spent decades developing complete tomato processing lines. We supply equipment from leading manufacturers such as ZACMI, FBR ELPO, ROSSI & CATELLI, MANZINI, ZILLI & BELLINI, BERTOCCHI, among others.

Improvement of Tomate Processing Lines

We provide equipment covering the entire production process, from fresh tomato reception to final packaging, ensuring efficiency, product quality, and seamless integration across all stages of your production line.

Tomato Reception and Preparation

An efficient raw material intake process determines the overall performance and productivity of the campaign, directly impacting product quality and operational efficiency.

• Raw material unloading and pumping systems with lances.
• Continuous and controlled transport using pressurized water.
• Reduction of raw material damage.
• Adaptability to different production capacities and plant layouts.
• Flow optimization to subsequent stages using roller elevators.
• Fast and uniform reception.
• Reduction of downtime.

Washing / Destoning Machines

• Removal stones, branches, etc.
• Protection of downstream equipment.
• Improvement of final product quality.
• Lineal and roller washers with optional pre-sorting belts for manual selection.

Thermophysical Peelers

• Efficient skin removal using steam and pressure.
• Preservation of pulp integrity.
• Ideal for peeled tomato lines.

✔ Efficient preparation improves yield and ensures consistent quality.

Crushing, Refining and Concentration

A key phase in the production of crushed and concentrated tomatoes, where texture, viscosity, and final concentration are defined.

Hammer Mills and Turbo Refiners

• Clean and uniform pulp extraction.
• Separation of skins and seeds.
• Availability of sieves with different mesh sizes to achieve desired texture.
• Double-body turbo refiners to increase production capacity.

Hot Break Systems

• Enzymatic inactivation.
• Preservation of viscosity and colour.
• Essential for concentrated and crushed products.

Concentration Vessels and Evaporators

• Controlled water evaporation.
• Increase in Brix degrees.
• Energy optimization.
• Precise and efficient concentration.

✔ A strategic phase to maximize yield per processed ton.

Sterilization and Packaging

The final stage focused on food safety, product preservation, and shelf-life stability, ensuring compliance with industry standards and maintaining the highest quality of the finished product.

Aseptic Sterilizers

• Precise thermal treatment with full control of heating, holding, and cooling phases.
• Different configurations depending on the product: multitubular, tube-in-tube, etc.
• Microbiological stability.

Continuous Sterilizers

• Precise thermal treatment with full control of heating, holding, and cooling phases.
• Different types depending on the process: rotary, tunnel, etc.
• Quality preservation.

Aseptic Fillers

• Ideal for aseptic bags: from small foodservice formats to industrial drums.
• High precision and safety.
• Double-head models available to increase production capacity.
• Filling heads in various diameters to suit your product.

Filling Systems

• Telescopic and volumetric fillers: suitable for all tomato types (whole, chopped, diced, etc.)
• Piston fillers: for sauces and concentrates.
• Wide range of speeds (cans/minute) and container formats.
• “No can – no fill” systems.

Automatic Seamers

• Hermetic and sanitary sealing.
• Reduction of contamination and sealing defects.
• Safety systems and steam sweeping.
• Integrated with vacuum systems for brine/liquid filling and air removal.
