Conclusion

The tomato washing and sorting machine is a professional processing line tailored to the unique characteristics of fresh tomatoes: high water content, thin skin and susceptibility to mechanical damage. Designed for farms, food factories and fresh produce exporters, this complete system combines powerful yet gentle air bubble washing with an efficient roller grader to provide a reliable solution for large-scale tomato washing and grading. Whether you are dealing with round tomatoes, plum tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, this machine ensures hygienic processing, consistent size and excellent final quality.

The tomato washing and grading machine operates in two main stages: bubble washing and roller grading.

Bubble Washing + Spray Rinsing
Fresh tomatoes are gently conveyed into a bubble-type water tank. Here, powerful air agitation creates turbulence in the water, which softly lifts dirt, soil, and pesticide residues from the tomato surface. A secondary high-pressure spray system ensures further rinsing as tomatoes exit the tank, leaving them thoroughly cleaned without damaging their skin.

Hot Air Dryer
After thorough washing and rinsing, tomatoes are passed through a hot air drying tunnel to remove surface moisture efficiently. This drying step is essential to prevent microbial growth, reduce packaging contamination, and prepare the tomatoes for further processing or storage.

Drying temperature and wind speed can be finely adjusted according to tomato variety and size to ensure fast yet gentle drying. As a result, the tomatoes maintain their natural luster, firmness, and freshness, making them ideal for grading into different size.

Roller-Type Grading
Cleaned tomatoes are transferred to the roller grading unit, which uses a set of parallel rotating rollers with adjustable spacing. As tomatoes roll along the gradually widening gaps, they fall through openings matched to their diameters, thereby achieving multi-level size grading. This physical separation method is highly gentle and effective for delicate fruits like tomatoes.

Bubble-type washing system
Uses powerful air bubbling combined with water circulation to gently remove soil, debris, and pesticide residues from the tomato surface.

Hot air drying unit
High-efficiency axial fans and controllable heating systems ensure quick surface moisture removal after washing.

Roller-type grading machine
Adjustable stainless steel rollers gradually increase spacing to accurately sort tomatoes by size without damaging their soft skin.

SUS304 stainless steel construction
All key components are made of food-grade stainless steel, ideal for handling acidic and perishable products like tomatoes.

Gentle handling for delicate tomatoes
Prevents bruising or skin cracking thanks to bubble washing and roller grading, which are softer than brushes or vibration methods.
Integrated, continuous operation
Combines washing, drying, and grading into one streamlined process, improving labor efficiency and production speed.
Customizable for different tomato varieties
Suitable for processing cherry, Roma, plum, or round tomatoes through adjustable parameters on both washing and grading sections.
Hygienic and easy to maintain
Stainless steel design and open-frame structure allow for easy daily cleaning and compliance with food safety regulations.

Preserves tomato freshness and appearance
Clean, dry, and undamaged tomatoes are more appealing for retail or further processing, boosting market competitiveness.

Reduces post-harvest losses
Minimizes fruit damage and spoilage that often occur in manual or poorly controlled systems.

Improves product uniformity and grading accuracy
Enables consistent size sorting, helping downstream processes like packaging or pricing.

Enhances overall production hygiene
Clean and dry tomatoes reduce the risk of microbial contamination, increasing the shelf life of final products.
