Tomato Processing

Direct Steam Injection heaters offer on-demand, efficient, and precise heating, providing numerous advantages over traditional heating systems in tomato-based product production:

• Provides on-demand heating to preserve tomatoes’ vibrant color, fresh flavor, and nutritional value, minimizing exposure and enhancing product appeal.
• Ensures consistent, even heating for uniform texture, reducing hot and cold spots, preventing burn-on, and improving quality across sauces, pastes, and purees—even with high-viscosity products.
• Increases energy efficiency with nearly 100% thermal transfer, using direct steam injection to reduce energy costs and support sustainability.
• Maintains consistent viscosity and thickness, enabling precise temperature control to achieve desired consistency without additional thickeners.
• Reduces fouling and maintenance through direct steam injection, minimizing scaling and extending equipment lifespan, resulting in less downtime.
• Supports food safety compliance with sanitary heating, eliminating intermediary surfaces where contaminants could accumulate.
• Adapts to varying production volumes, offering scalability for both large-scale and specialty tomato processing runs, enhancing production flexibility.
