VBENLEM110V Electric Tomato Strainer 370W Commercial Grade Tomato Milling Machine Stainless Steel Tomato Press and Strainer 90-160 Kg/H Pure Copper Motor Food Strainer and Sauce Maker

After years of jarring tomatoes by hand, we purchased this tomato milling machine. It is amazing! Quickly separates the skins and seeds from stewed tomatoes, leaving a purée ready for jarring.

I love this juicer. It made short work of batches of my tomatoes. It cleans up fast. Great product if you love to can. This is a canning must.

We bought this specifically for processing tomato into sauce. Very easy to use. Quick clean up. We processed about 100 lbs per hour with this. Must have for bulk canning!

The media could not be loaded. The tomato sauce I made turned out well, and the machine separated seeds & skin perfectly. However, the machine got too hot for me to touch! The instructions say to run it only 15 min at a time, which I did and processing my sauce took forever because of all the breaks! When I was done, I ended up talking it apart to clean it, too!

So far so good! I used this twice to process over 80lbs of tomatoes. Its easy to clean and does a nice job. Like other reviews the operating instructions are Not the best, but all in all I'm happy with it. One thing I did find out. You need to cut your tomatoes smaller than I'm use to and the more rip the tomatoes are the better.

I'm totally satisfied with this unit. I like to make my own fresh tomato sauce from real tomatoes. At first I was hesitant on not buying the cadillac version made in Italy because Im a firm believer in you get what you pay for. But I know that all motors come from same place anyway. I took a chance on this and could not be more thrilled with the way it operates and separates the seeds and skin form the pulp. (tomato strainer). I already made two rounds of sauce using 30 -40 tomatoes. Easy to clean, comes apart and washes easily. Plastic gasket around motor bearing prevents liquids from going into the motor. My only issue is the wire bracket that surrounds the shute where you attach to the strainer is a bit clumsy but that might be standard on all of these machines. Not sure.

Could not be more happy. From some of the reviews I was a little scared but went ahead anyway. This machine is incredible absolutely no issues. Sets up in less than a minute. Is super fast and removes all the skin and seeds could not imagine it working any better. Did about 60lbs in about 30 minutes.

As Chris Tillery explained we modified the end of the plastic screw mechanism and it worked like a charm. Did 50# of tomatoes with great success. Will treat this machine with kit gloves and should work for my huge tomato harvests to come. Just a couple of things to note....be sure the spring is placed on the strainer/screw side of the drive adapter.... making sure the metal end with O ring is toward the motor. We also lubed up the O ring with a bit of bacon grease/lard before putting it together and using. Helped to make sure the O ring made a good seal. Also can't see how a person could have it run for more than 15 minutes. I turned it on before adding a pitcher full of slightly stewed tomatoes, ran them through, then shut it off in order to refill my pitcher. The whole process of the milling of 50# of tomatoes only took approx 30 minutes, with saucer only running in short one minute increments. Also I found that how I pre-processed my tomatoes made a difference. In the late summer and fall when harvesting, I cored and scored my tomatoes, then froze them whole with skins on in gallon size Ziploc bags. Thawing the tomatoes from frozen state, then running them through the saucer pulled ALL the seeds and bigger chunks of skin, rather than if I cooked them down first and then running them through. When I cooked them, first of all they were hot to handle, and secondly the skins that made it to the end of the screw drive were ground up and thus added to my sauce. Tried to avoid that as I feel that the skins add a bitterness to the sauce.
