Common Questions About Storage Bins

How do ice bins work?

An industrial ice maker can drop and store ice in an ice storage bin. Ice machines usually come with a shut-off switch which helps in measuring that how much ice is in the bin in order to prevent overflows and freeze-ups. In case ice levels reach high enough to trigger the switch, the ice machine shuts off automatically.

Why are ice storage bins necessary for ice-making equipment?

Ice storage bins are necessary pieces of ice machine parts and accessories where you have a modular or remote ice machine. Even though the ice bins are not powered by any source, still they are insulated so that the ice will not melt. Ice storage bins may be lined with plastic or food-grade stainless steel. There is either insulation or a small air gap between the liner and bin exterior that would help in slowing the ice melting process so you can completely fulfill all your ice needs.

What will happen if the ice stays in the bin for too long?

In case the ice stays in the bin for a very long time, it will melt into one big block, and it will also become too difficult to remove. Also, old ice in the bin has the chance to develop a foul taste since it is picking up any stray aromas or mildew that may be in the cabinet. For this problem, every time the bin must be emptied of old ice, it is also recommended that the interior be at least dried out. The bin inside should be entirely cleaned and sanitized as often as the ice machine that is mounted on the top is cleaned. It is important to maintain your ice machine parts and accessories by cleaning the ice storage bin at least once a month.

What is the Ice Storage Bin Product Range in the market?

Generally, ice storage bins are sold separately to all the modular ice makers and they are available in different sizes. You can always keep your restaurant or bar stocked with a reliable supply of freshly made ice ready for use whenever you need it.

What problems occur if the ice machine bin drain is too small?

In case the ice machine bin is really very small there is the possibility that the drain could become clogged, back up water, and melt the ice in the bin.
