Handy, fun and incredibly clever, Dreamfarm’s Spina might look at first glance like a normal colander… but a simple twist of the handle and frame transform it into a salad spinner too. We tried to create a part of the desired shape using metal sheets, which after some CFD analysis, we concluded a smooth surface by metal spinning would be best and reduce the chances of the cooling colander failing to meet expectations. Dreamfarm is a place where ideas grow, and every millimetre of everything they design exists for a reason – their aim is to make the world’s best kitchen tools and gadgets, and from what we’ve seen, they’re doing a pretty good job so far. There was slight concern when there was a lead time delay, but after confirmation with Curtis, we did not feel worried. We will keep metal spinning as a potential manufacturing process knowing that Excell could provide this service.”
We had the privilege of speaking with Chiang Churchill Ngai, Project Engineer for Odqa. Their role as project engineer sees them take on multiple technical projects including experimentation and instrumentation of their developing solar receiver. Churchill Is also involved in the development of the solar simulator, a concentrated light source that mimics sunlight. Churchill explained that “the solar simulator worked well and enabled us to develop further into our receiver design. As the spun metal parts are essential to the solar simulator, Excell’s services definitely helped us in progressing our technology. All of the products in this article were tested and reviewed by Lizzy Briskin, a chef, food writer, and recipe developer who is a daily salad for lunch girl. The most important design feature to consider with a new salad spinner is the spinning mechanism. You’ll find plunger-style spinners, those with pull cords, and others with handles that you manually spin. And now, there are even fully electric options! I’ve found that plunger-style spinners last the longest, as string can fray and break and the manual handles can come apart.Over the course of a few weeks Odqa began researching a number of potential manufacturers for their project. Through Google Search, they eventually found Excell Metal Spinning Ltd To help you find the best salad spinner for your kitchen, I’ve personally tested each of the products on this list. I washed large and small heads of lettuce, as well as delicate herbs to assess how well each of these spinners dries, whether they cause damage to delicate produce, and how much they’ll wobble over your countertop. In addition, I considered how easy the spinners are to store, use, and clean. After all was said and done, I found the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner is the one to have in your cabinet.
After learning about the requirements, the scope and scale of the project, the technical team at Excell discussed plans about the most efficient and cost-effective method of Metal spinning the colander shaped components. There’s no better way to dash the joy of a beautifully composed salad of greens, veggies, and shimmery dressing than to nash a chunk of grit. But, because lettuce grows close to the earth with its dangling roots, the only way to avoid unwanted dirt in your bowl is to give your greens a thorough wash and dry. Make this process as easy as possible with a high-quality salad spinner that’s easy to use, dries veggies thoroughly, and will last for decades. To maximize the use of your spinner, use it for more than just greens. Rinse all kinds of produce in the inner colander. If things are very dirty, fill the bowl with water to soak fruits and veggies before draining and spinning dry.
The finer details
A product only matters if it’s useful – because they know that design failures are dust collectors.
