Commercial Salad Spinners

Salad spinners—also known as salad tossers—are a simple yet essential tool for both commercial and residential kitchens. As the name suggests, these handy devices are designed to spin lettuce and other greens inside a solid base. This spinning action serves two key purposes: it mixes salad components evenly and dries freshly washed leaves by removing excess water through centrifugal force. For best results, you can dab the leaves with a paper towel after spinning, especially if they’re not completely dry.

Washing leafy greens, fruits, and vegetables before prepping or serving is always a smart move. A salad spinner offers a quick, efficient way to clean and dry produce like collards, kale, herbs, berries, and even larger items such as carrots or potatoes.

Salad spinners work using centrifugal force to remove moisture. We offer both manual and electric models. Manual spinners feature a hand-crank on top that rotates the inner basket to whisk away water. Electronic salad spinners, ideal for high-volume kitchens, can process over 1,500 pounds of produce per hour. While electric models are more convenient and labor-saving, they come at a higher cost—so consider your kitchen’s output and workflow when choosing the right model.
