As a popular condiment, the production of hot sauce requires a series of equipment to ensure product quality, production efficiency and hygiene standards. The following is an introduction to the main equipment and functions required for the production of hot sauce, some of which can be configured according to actual needs.

  • Cleaning equipment

Chili cleaning is the first step in hot sauce production. Its main purpose is to remove dirt, impurities and pesticide residues on the surface of the chili. The commonly used equipment is a bubble cleaning machine, which uses bubbles and water to wash the chili, and is suitable for large-scale cleaning.

  • Stem removal equipment (optional)

The stem removal equipment is used to remove the stems of chili peppers. If the raw material quality is high and the stems are few, this equipment can be omitted and go directly to the next step; however, for cases with uneven quality or high cost of manual stem removal, configuring a pepper stem removal machine can improve production efficiency.

  • Crushing equipment

The texture of hot sauce requires that the chili be fully crushed to form a fine paste. Crushing equipment is the core part of production.

  • Ingredients mixing equipment

The flavor of hot sauce is inseparable from precise ingredients and uniform mixing. The sandwich pot is mainly used to fully mix the crushed chili with other seasonings (such as salt, sugar, garlic, vinegar, etc.). It has a heating function and is suitable for mixing ingredients and preliminary heating.

  • Sterilization equipment

Hot sauce needs to be sterilized before bottling to extend its shelf life.

  • Filling equipment

Depending on the packaging format, different types of filling equipment can be selected.

Equipment selection suggestions

When choosing equipment, the factory should consider the following factors comprehensively:

  1. Production requirements: Small factories can choose semi-automatic equipment, and large factories are suitable for fully automatic production lines.
  2. Raw material characteristics: such as the variety, size, and moisture content of peppers.
  3. Budget range: Whether optional equipment (such as stem removers) is necessary depends on the balance between labor costs and production efficiency.
  4. Food safety: All equipment must comply with food production hygiene standards (such as GMP, HACCP).

By rationally configuring hot sauce production equipment, the factory can efficiently and safely produce high-quality chili sauce to meet market demand.
