Reber electric and manual tomato squeezers

Reber manufactures a wide range of electric and manual tomatoes squeezers and tomato presses to meet all consumer needs.

All products are made in Italy, except for the Artus range, which has imported motors and an Italian modeling accessory. Further information on Reber brand products, service and legal warranty are available on the dedicated page.

 

Winged version or fairing version?

This product is a finned version. What does this mean? It means that the engine in the photo is not covered by any fairing, i.e. by any component that protects it from the outside. It is also fitted with a fan cover, i.e. the plastic rear part that covers the fan that cools the engine.

ElettroWebStore also has Reber motors with fairing, possibly with all-steel gears. These motors are better because, in addition to having stronger gears, they do not have a plastic fan cover but have the entire motor body covered by a practical stainless steel casing.

Differences between engine wattage and engine HP horsepower

The power of REBER motors is typically expressed in watts. The wattage of the motors generally indicates the amount of power in Watts that the motor absorbs from the electrical system. Multiplying this instant value by the hours gives the current absorption in Watts/hour.

Conversely, the expression of power in HP, i.e. motor horsepower, indicates how much power motors are able to transform into work. The greater the power absorbed from the mains into work, the greater the motor's power. In fact, many motors, while absorbing a lot of power from the mains, are not very powerful. This is because they absorb energy but do not transform it into work, but rather disperse it, typically in heat and internal rotor rotation useless for the application they are designed for.

REBER No.3 motors have a 4-pole electrical winding and make half the revolutions per minute (2800) of many competitors. This means that, for the same amount of current absorbed (400 watts), the REBER motor performs better. In fact, it transforms more energy into work, dispersing less of it in heat.

 

Painted cast iron body, not plastic

The body of the REBER 9008N is made entirely of cast iron, not plastic. Cast iron, of course, withstands stress much better. It is harder and less deformable. Inside, the body is painted with high-temperature baked epoxy paint. This ensures that the paint can withstand more abrasion, adhering better to the cast iron.

The paints used, unlike cheaper products of other brands, are certified to be suitable for food contact.

 

Acetal resin inner propeller, not aluminium or cast iron

The internal propeller of REBER Electric Tomato Squeezer No. 3 HP 0.30 450 Watt 9008N is made entirely of acetal resin, i.e. a plastic material suitable for contact with foodstuffs. In fact, this material guarantees perfect resistance to the acids typically contained in tomatoes and sauces. In contrast, materials such as cast iron and aluminium do not have these properties. They, in fact, release ferrous substances to the sauces. For this reason, it is important not to buy substandard products or products that do not have these properties as well.

 

Accessories made entirely of 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel

The other accessories of the REBER 9008N tomato squeezer are made entirely of 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel. This guarantees excellent food contact properties and high durability. It also lends a sense of quality and professionalism to the product. We are talking in particular about the following parts, which are also available as spare parts:

• filter cone (also available on request with smaller holes of 1.1 millimetres and with larger 2.5 mm holes)
• funnel
• splash guard
• chute

 

Red cap and black cap on the engine: should they be changed or not?

For those who have been familiar with REBER tomato squeezer engines for some time, you will be faced with the Hamletic question: should the red motor cap be changed or not? Why is the black ventilation cap no longer included? How do I carry out the replacement that used to have to be done?

This simple question is now answered: the red cap no longer needs to be changed! And why is it no longer changed? Simply because the black plug that came with it was a plug with a breather. It had to be replaced with the red cap because the lubricated oil contained in the flange and greasing the gears tended to expand and produce small amounts of fumes. This, in the past, created an increase in pressure inside the engine and could create problems.

Well, today all these problems are gone because theREBER engine gear lubricating oil has been replaced with an oil that no longer produces these problems. Therefore, the red cap that only served to close the flange and prevent oil from escaping during transport no longer needs to be replaced!

• Optional cast-iron mincer No. 12
• Optional stainless steel mincer No. 12

 

Mincer accessories applicable to 600 Watt 0.80 HP motors
