When you're overrun with tomatoes ?

I just run excess tomatoes through the machine that takes off the skin
and pips and chucks it all off to one side and which leaves a slightly
thickened juice/pulp which comes out the other side. This I preserve
by bottling (canning in USian). It can then be used for a thousand
an one things (including cooking down to a pulp at some later stage)
but our favourite is to use it to make tomato soup in winter.

What is this machine called and who makes it?

I've had this thing for maybe 25 years and the shabby box it's in says
on it"spremipomodoro San Marzano" (sic).

I did a search on that info and this one is the same as mine is:

It works a treat. You might find it in some Italian type grocers in
somewhere like Newcastle.
