Commercial Grade Large Salad Spinner - 5.5 Gallon/25 Quart

Item description: 5 gal manual spin wringer
Brand: TK Tartle

Headline: Well made and large capacity; durability remains to be proven

Product Claims: 1 unit - 5 gallon plastic spin dryer/wringer, for lettuce etc.

The product arrived in a well-packaged heavy-duty corrugated cardboard box, with foam inserts to prevent item shifting. The unit is composed of three pieces - the outer bucket with integral metal inner spindle, the perforated tub which is spun by the gearbox and which rotates on the inner spindle as driven by the gearbox in the lid, and the lid with gearbox/handle.

Most of the pieces are molded plastic, although the lid/gearbox is an assembly that includes metal parts (especially the spindle and handle/crank). All parts are either sealed or able to be easily cleaned. (It is not clear what the gearbox gears are made of - the old model used plastic gears.)

I cannot assess durability in an initial impressions review, but the item appears to be able to survive for an extended time period and substantial use. Two additional features include a bucket drain with hose, and a tub brake to slow it down after spin-up. The gearbox appears to be in the ratio of 1:6, such that one turn of the manual crank spins the perforated tub 6 revolutions. Therefore a one turn per second crank speed equates to 360 rpm, fast enough to cause loose moisture to be pushed to the outside of the contents and through the tub perforations, to be collected in the bottom of the bucket.

Heavy duty salad spinner with 20 quart capacity. Durable plastic construction with metal spinning axle. Generates enough speed with the crank style handle to dry lettuce in 10 seconds. I find it very useful for washing large leaves from greens.

Good

Great for restaurant use. This is definitely a must have.

Great product for our market garden! Saves us so much time! We ran into a snag with the lid, Tartle jumped right on the concern and sent us a new lid. By far the service made up for the hiccup. Thank you!

i have ripped through dozens of these things and then this sweet angel came into my life. the true Cadillac of spinners. 10/10

This spinner is exactly what it appeared online. I’m really impressed by how tough and durable it is, with metal parts that will hold up over time. It came packaged with some styrofoam which I hate, but minimal amounts. There was a small hole in the bottom of the box from the metal shaft piercing through and one side of the box was dented, indicating it had been roughly handled. However, the unit was unscathed and functions perfectly. I’m so pleased! The price I paid was well worth the investment!
