Abstract:
A commercial tomato strainer attachment includes a hopper having open top and bottom ends and a downwardly converging wall. The bottom end has a cylindrical shape and a smaller diameter than the top end. A bottom support member is coupled to the hopper bottom end and has a cavity vertically aligned therebeneath. A drive shaft extends through the cavity and has a helical blade traveling along a major length thereof that is partially seated within the bottom support member. The blade radius decreases from a proximal to a distal end thereof. A universal coupling is mounted to the support member exterior surface. The proximal drive shaft end and the coupling are attachable to a commercial mixer. The hollow chamber is coupled to the bottom support member, houses a major length of the blade and the drive shaft, and has a distal end for discharging tomatoes therefrom.
