Motorize your tomato strainer.

Worth1 · August 28, 2015

Folks I am posting this here because there are a lot of people that are on this section of the forum.
It is a way you can motorize your tomato strainer without a lot of money if you have a meat grinder with a square or hex drive.
The pictuer depicted below is for a male hex drive someone here had.
This is also one of the reasons I didn't get the LEM meat grinder.
The LEM has a spline drive for the auger.
It wouldn't be impossible but costly to get a spline shaft made for one.
You could even hook up your hand crank tomato strainer to a KitchenAid mixer this way.
You just dont use the socket and use the right size square stock.
This is what I would do if I ever wanted to strain tomatoes.
Why on earth would I want to get yet another power supply to turn something.
