Chili sauce has a wide range of consumers around the world due to its rich taste and diverse flavors. So what equipment is needed to make hot sauce? The following is a detailed introduction to the main equipment required in the production process of hot sauce.
The first step in producing hot sauce is to preliminarily process the raw chili peppers. The function of the chili stem remover is to quickly and efficiently remove the stalks of the chili, reduce manual operations, improve processing efficiency, and avoid pollution problems caused by manual stem removal.
After the stems are removed, the chili need to be thoroughly cleaned to remove the sand, impurities and pesticide residues remaining on the surface. The chili cleaning machine uses water flow to ensure that the chili are clean and hygienic, which is the first guarantee of food safety.
After washing, the chili need to be crushed. The pulping machine can crush the chili into a paste while retaining the chili seeds and skin to achieve a fine and uniform paste effect. This step determines the texture and taste of the hot sauce.
After adding the chili sauce to the seasoning (such as salt, garlic, sugar, etc.), it needs to be heated and stirred in the cooking mixer. This not only helps the flavor blend, but also kills some bacteria, improving the safety and shelf life of the chili sauce. Cooking mixers usually have heating devices and stirring functions, and the temperature and time can be controlled to ensure stable product quality.
To ensure the long-term storage stability of hot sauce, the cooked product needs to be sterilized by high temperature in a sterilizer. Commonly used sterilization equipment includes pasteurizers and high temperature and high pressure sterilizers. The specific choice depends on the product type and packaging form. Reasonable sterilization can effectively extend the shelf life of hot sauce and prevent fermentation and deterioration.
Finally, the hot sauce needs to be divided into glass bottles, plastic bottles or bags through a filling machine. This makes it easier to transport the hot sauce.
