Application of color selection equipment in tomato pretreatment

The picking process is an important part of the ketchup production process, which directly affects the quality of the finished product. It is also the only process in the ketchup production line that has a relatively low degree of automation and a relatively large number of users. In the traditional ketchup production line, after cleaning, the tomatoes need to be manually picked to pick out the fruit of the fruit, and the high-quality raw materials enter the crushing process. If the disease is fruit, the picking of the green fruit is not thorough, it is easy to cause the acidity of the ketchup product, the sugar content and other indicators will affect the microbial contamination of the raw materials, resulting in the threat of microbial contamination of the finished product.

In the selection process, special picking equipment, and associated waste conveying equipment, cleaning water return device are required. The area is relatively large.

Under normal working conditions, the ketchup production line that processes 2 tons of raw materials per hour requires at least 2 people per shift in the picking process to ensure the picking effect. And because workers need to maintain a high concentration of mentality for a long time, and also endure the bad odor caused by rotten fruit. Labor is very strong and it is difficult to guarantee that work is always efficient.

Color selection equipment is a very mature screening equipment. The main working principle is to use the photoelectric detection technology to automatically sort out the color difference individuals in the product according to the difference of optical characteristics of the products. According to the technical principle, different color sorting machines can be divided into ( 1 ) traditional photoelectric technology color sorting machine; ( 2 ) CCD technology color sorting machine; ( 3 ) infrared technology color sorting machine; ( 4 ) X- ray technology color sorting machine.

The traditional photoelectric technology color sorter and CCD technology color sorter are suitable for the screening of tomato raw materials. For rotten fruit, green fruit, grass stems, etc. have a good rejection effect.

The use of a color sorter instead of a manual picking device can avoid missed detection and false detection of human error. Compared with labor, the equipment can always maintain good working efficiency, and the low management cost of the enterprise can improve the automation of the production line and reduce the cost of the enterprise.

The main disadvantage is that the initial investment in equipment is relatively large, especially in the upgrading of production lines, the need to purchase new equipment into the production line, and more capital investment.

Second, professional technicians are required for maintenance. This is not obvious on the production line that has been equipped with professional production line maintenance personnel. Maintenance personnel can quickly master the maintenance of color selection equipment through learning.

In the context of domestic labor costs rising year by year and the market price of ketchup products rising slowly, the shortcomings of the color sorter in terms of capital and maintenance have become less and less obvious. Efficient processing capabilities of equipment and cost recovery time through alternative labor are becoming shorter and shorter. The color sorter is the first choice for further upgrading of ketchup. It is specially prepared for medium and large ketchup production lines with a daily processing capacity of over 600 tons.
