Commercial Salad Spinners

Commercial salad spinners are essential tools in any high-volume kitchen that prepares leafy greens, herbs, or delicate vegetables. Their primary function is to remove excess water after washing produce, helping to maintain texture, prevent sogginess, and improve dressing adhesion. Unlike household spinners, commercial models are built for durability and can handle large quantities of greens at once—often up to 5 or 10 gallons in capacity.

These spinners typically use a manual hand crank or electric motor to spin the inner basket at high speeds, forcing water away from the contents through centrifugal force. Manual versions are well-suited for smaller kitchens or locations without power access, while electric models are ideal for saving time and labor in busy foodservice environments. Many feature sturdy plastic or stainless steel construction, non-slip bases, and removable parts for easy cleaning.

Using a salad spinner not only improves food quality and presentation but also enhances operational efficiency. Drier greens last longer in cold storage, reducing waste and saving money.
