This offer ends in:
The SH550 is a 530ml three-piece stainless steel cocktail shaker manufactured by Zodex for commercial bar and catering operations. The unit processes two standard cocktail servings per cycle with a leak-sealed shaking chamber. Bar staff in hotels, restaurants, event venues, and mobile catering operations use this tool during beverage service.
Commercial Application
The shaker integrates into high-volume bar workflows where drinks are prepared to order during peak service periods. The 530ml chamber accommodates two servings, reducing cycle time when multiple orders arrive simultaneously. The three-piece construction separates straining from pouring without additional tools.
During service, bartenders load ice, spirits, and mixers, seal the chamber, shake for 10-15 seconds, then strain directly into serving glasses. The polished exterior maintains professional appearance under continuous handling. The unit processes 60-80 drinks per hour in typical bar operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the SH550 construction?
A: The SH550 uses food-grade stainless steel meeting CE hygiene standards for direct food and beverage contact. The specific alloy grade is not specified by Zodex, but the material complies with commercial catering requirements in UK and EU markets.
Q: Can the strainer cap be replaced if perforations become blocked?
A: Yes. TurcoBazaar supplies replacement strainer caps as spare parts for the SH550. The cap friction-fits without tools and can be swapped during service if blockage occurs.
Q: What is the maximum liquid temperature the shaker can handle?
A: The stainless steel construction tolerates liquids up to 80°C without material degradation. Most cocktail operations use the shaker with ice, keeping contents below 5°C during mixing.
Q: How many service cycles can the friction-fit seal withstand?
A: The seal is rated for 500+ cycles under normal bar service conditions. Actual lifespan depends on handling force and cleaning frequency.
Q: Is the 530ml capacity measured to the brim or working volume?
A: 530ml is the total volume to the brim. Working capacity for cocktail mixing with ice is approximately 400ml, allowing headspace for shaking without leakage.
