The Omcan 31361 Manual Tomato Squeezer
The Omcan 31361 is a manual tomato squeezer built for small kitchens, home canners, and light-duty restaurant prep where you need to extract tomato puree without a motorized unit. A hand crank drives a plastic worm that pushes tomatoes through a strainer, separating seeds and skin from the puree in one pass. The plastic collection bowl is lighter than the stainless steel version (Omcan 21105), making this model easier to move around a prep station or store between uses. At just 8.5 pounds total, you can clamp it to any sturdy table edge and start processing immediately.
Cast Iron Body with Double Hot Tinning
The squeezer body is cast iron with a double hot tinning finish that resists corrosion from acidic tomato juice. Unlike painted or powder-coated finishes that can chip and flake after repeated exposure to tomato acid, the double tinning bonds to the cast iron surface and holds up through season after season of canning work. The plastic worm is gentle enough to avoid crushing seeds, which would release bitter oils into the puree, while still generating enough pressure to extract maximum juice from each batch. The hopper, collector, and base are stainless steel, so the parts that contact your finished puree stay sanitary and easy to clean.
