Ice Machines with Bins & Self-Contained Ice Machines

Ice machines with bins and self-contained ice machines are essential for foodservice operations that require a consistent, sanitary supply of ice. These machines come in two main configurations: modular ice machines with a separate bin for storage, and self-contained units where the ice maker and bin are integrated into a single appliance. Both types are available in a range of production capacities and ice styles—such as cube, nugget, or flake—to suit the specific needs of restaurants, bars, healthcare facilities, and convenience stores.

Self-contained ice machines are compact and convenient, ideal for undercounter placement or in areas with limited space. These units are typically used in front-of-house environments like bars or cafés where smaller volumes of ice are needed quickly and regularly. Their all-in-one design simplifies installation and allows for easy relocation, making them a good choice for venues that don’t require high ice output but still want reliable performance and easy access.

Modular ice machines, on the other hand, are designed for higher-volume environments and are paired with separate storage bins. These units are commonly found in larger commercial kitchens, hotels, or banquet halls that need to store large amounts of ice at once. Modular systems also offer more flexibility in terms of bin size and type, allowing operators to upgrade or expand their ice storage as demand grows. In some cases, additional filtration or sanitation systems can be installed to ensure the highest ice quality and hygiene standards.

Whether you're outfitting a busy kitchen or a small café, choosing the right ice machine is essential for smooth operation.
