A plug spinner I used successfully was also a wheel design. I used a 18 rpm motor (rotisserrie would work) and 2" pink foam board from HD. I cut it into a large circle, using a round garbage can lid for a template, on the bandsaw. I drilled a hole on center. My motor had a threaded arbor to which I put 2 large washers on either side of the foam to keep it from slipping and threaded it tight.
I stuck cut wire hangers into the thru-wire holes, epoxied the plug and then stuck the wire deep into the edge of the foam till there was approx 2-3" space between them. Never had one fall out, and you could do 30-40 plugs at a time.

I did notice some of you wire your plugs before epoxy. This system would not work in that case.
