Greens Spinners for Farm Use

An important factor in growing and selling high quality greens is being able to efficiently wash, cool, and dry the product. The drying step is commonly done using centrifugal force in a spinner.  The water is spun off of the greens through a filter basket or other porous container.  This blog post and PDF publication provide background on some of the key features to consider when thinking about a spinner including cost, capacity, power, space and sanitary design. Manual spinners, washing machine conversions and commercially available electric spinners are described with links included for more information.  An outline of a cleaning and sanitizing SOP is also included.
