Commercial salad spinner
It should be noted that salad spinners in commercial settings have a number of distinct qualities that have particular interest for restaurant management. They tend to cut food costs for a number of reasons. They cut labor costs because they make the washing and drying of lettuce faster and more thorough. Because this method is more thorough food costs are cut with less waste. Drier lettuce means less wilting and that patrons will use less salad dressing because it will actually stay on the leaves.

The spinning mechanism is of the conventional crank type. Manufactured with a collapsible handle for better storage, outer basket handles for easier maneuverability and carrying capabilities, and a longer inside basket stem for stability while spinning.
