New & Improved Spinzall 2.0
The Essential Centrifuge for Bars and Restaurants
Limited Supply
The Spinzall is the only centrifuge designed BY bar and restaurant people, FOR bar and restaurant people. It’s the only centrifuge in this price category that can process enough product for a professional. What was previously a niche technique is now a key component of many establishments.
Clarity. That’s what you get when you apply several thousand times the force of gravity to a liquid or puree. Components separate so that larger and denser pieces form a puck at the bottom, any oils float on the top, and everything in between is clarified liquid. A centrifuge will give you beautifully clear, bright, and clean-tasting fruit liquors. It will make crystal-clear fruit juices that won’t ruin carbonation, cordials for stirred cocktails, impeccable herb and spice oils – and it can make ultradense purees. With a centrifuge you will get these results better, faster, and with higher yield than with any other technique.
The Spinzall is the best way to clarify. Better than hydrocolloids like agar and gelatin, which strip flavor and require both heat and time. Better than filtration, which can never remove the finest particles. Even with liquids that settle on their own over time, the Spinzall allows you to recover every last drop –dramatically increasing yield and saving precious ingredients. If you need something clear now and you hate to waste, the Spinzall is the answer.
Before Booker and Dax launched the Spinzall, centrifuges were impractical for the bar and restaurant: the affordable ones had a tiny capacity, while the behemoth models that were large enough cost nearly $10,000 and were dangerous to operate without training.
At the beginning of fall 2023, we had an amazing presale, thanks to the community. That batch of Spinzall 2.0's is now manufactured. You can currently order directly from Modernist Pantry, but supplies are limited. When this current batch is no longer in stock, you will again be able to preorder for the next batch. As of March 2024, the next batch is approximately five months away.
What's Better about the Spinzall 2.0?
Anybody who has owned or worked with a Spinzall will appreciate some exciting improvements. We listened to your feedback to make the Spinzall 2.0 an even more valuable asset to you and your team.
Enhanced Performance: We’ve increased the speed of the rotor to 3800-4200 RPM (compared to the previous model’s speeds of around 3650-4050 RPM.) This improvement means ten percent faster separation times, especially noticeable in batch mode. Many products will separate in under five minutes, boosting your efficiency.
Worldwide Compatibility: We understand the world needs centrifuges, and that’s why the Spinzall 2.0 can be plugged in anywhere worldwide (115-240 Volts, 50-60 Hertz). It comes with a standard North American plug, and international users only need an adapter, not a transformer.
Redesigned Safety Mechanism: Say goodbye to the electric lid interlock. The new interlock is entirely mechanical and integrated into the lid. Now you can open a Spinzall without turning it on, and there is no solenoid to get stuck or burn out. It’s easy and reliable.
Quality-of-Life Improvements: We’ve made several tweaks to enhance your overall experience.
The lid bearing is now easily replaceable, ensuring longevity. We don’t want you to muscle the lid off the Spinzall and ruin the bearing, but if you do, the fix will be easy and fast.
We’ve removed the shake sensor, reducing false positives and unnecessary machine shutdowns. 99.9% of the times the original unit went into alarm mode were due solely to the peculiarities of the sensor.
We redesigned the lid cap to seal without an O-ring, so you’ll never have to tape the cap on the lid again. We also made the liquid enter from the edge of the cap instead of the center, so you aren’t dumping goop into your bearing.
We have removed the timers and replaced them with switches. No more stuck or broken timer knobs, and no more having the Spinzall turn off when you don’t want it to.
The pump now offers truly continuous speed adjustability, giving you more control.
How many Spinzalls do I need?
If you do R&D in the food and beverage world a single Spinzall will likely suffice. If you are using Spinzalls in a bar or restaurant, you may want a few. We recommend getting two units if you have a bar with 30 or fewer seats. You will often use both at a time, and if one needs repair, the other will keep your program running. For bars with a hundred or more seats we recommend getting four or five units (if you do very little clarification, you can buy fewer). Four Spinzalls have the same effective capacity as a $10,000, 3-liter, 250-pound, swinging-bucket centrifuge and can clarify product even faster. As a bonus, Spinzalls can easily be moved from station to station and stored on standard kitchen shelving –try that with a giant centrifuge.
What about shipping?
Because transportation rates are highly variable, we are not charging shipping at this time. You will be notified and charged for shipping after your Spinzall is made and ready to ship, at which point your order becomes non-refundable. This is the fairest way to ensure that you are not overcharged and that we collect enough to get it to you.
Shipment will be available to just about anywhere in the world. Please note that if you are outside the US, you will be responsible for any additional duties, customs fees or VAT, that your particular government collects.
If we have enough orders for any geographic region we will take advantage of any possible bulk shipping discounts to lower the cost. Booker and Dax and Modernist Pantry are committed to using the least expensive and most reliable shippers, and will only charge you exactly what we pay - with no markup.
You will also have the option to arrange for your own shipping if you prefer.
The following are current shipping charges, for an individual Spinzall (including tracking, insurance, and delivery verification) shipped from our warehouse. These are for reference only.
