Machines and equipment of the tomato paste production line

The **Preheater** machine performs the initial cooking process on the chopped product by applying heat. The heat applied by the preheater facilitates the enzymatic inactivation process in the product and also prepares the product for the final extraction process. In this system, the product quickly reaches a temperature of 90 to 92 degrees Celsius from ambient temperature, causing an enzymatic shock. This process is known as the **Hot Break** method, which is a key step in tomato paste production.
