Ice Storage Bins

Ice storage bins are an essential companion to ice machines in commercial foodservice operations, allowing businesses to produce ice in advance and store it safely until needed. These bins are typically used in restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, and bars—anywhere that requires a consistent and reliable supply of ice throughout the day. By separating the production and storage functions, they help improve workflow and ensure there’s always enough ice on hand during busy periods.

Most commercial ice bins are insulated with polyurethane foam or similar materials to help slow the melting process. This insulation keeps the stored ice in usable condition longer, reducing waste and minimizing the frequency of ice machine cycles. Ice bins are available in a range of sizes, from compact undercounter models for tight spaces to large-capacity units designed to support high-volume operations like banquet halls or stadium concessions.

Ice storage bins often come with user-friendly features such as front-lift doors, sliding or stay-open lids, and internal baffles that help manage ice flow. Many models also include corrosion-resistant stainless steel exteriors and polyethylene liners for durability and easy cleaning. Some bins are compatible with top-mounted, side-mounted, or modular ice machines, so it’s important to verify compatibility when selecting equipment.

Whether you're upgrading your ice storage or setting up a new kitchen, choosing the right ice bin is crucial to maintaining efficiency and sanitation.
