Not sure if anyone had suggested this already, but we use old washing machines with the agitators removed.  Works great, clean-up is easy.  We put the greens in laundry type bags and give them a full spin cycle.  Greens come out as dry as I have seen them in a hand cranked spinner.  This is an inexpensive route as well.  I got both of mine for free.  Used washers that spin, but don’t do something else, like agitate or drain, are pretty common and most folks are happy to have you take them away.

Can anyone tell me what they are using for spinning greens?. I'm about ready to order a Dynamic 5 gallon model but thought I'd see what some other options are.

Thanks,
