I have been straining raw tomatoes of all kinds, including Costoluto Genovese, through my Victorio for 10 years and never had a problem - it works like a charm. I just wash , trim, and quarter each raw tomato, drop them in the shoot and crank. I processed almost 700 pounds last year and almost 400 pounds this year.

Are you sure you used the right screw and screen for tomatoes? - not the same as those used for grapes. I can see where the grape screw and screen could build up pressure with tomatoes. Also check to make sure you assembled it correctly.
