Tomato crushers are devices used primarily in culinary applications for the purpose of crushing tomatoes. These machines work by using mechanical pressure to break down the tomatoes into a pulp, aiding in the process of extraction of juices or preparation of tomato-based products, such as sauces or pastes. Used for both home-based and commercial purposes, tomato crushers contribute to the efficiency and speed of food processing while ensuring a consistent texture and quality in the final product. They are available in different models and operated either manually or electronically.
