Ice Bins, Dispensers & Filtration

15 products

Ice bins and dispensers store and serve the ice your machine makes. This collection includes ice storage bins sized for modular ice machine heads, countertop and floor ice dispensers, combination ice and water dispensers, and mobile ice caddies.

Brands include Hoshizaki, Scotsman, Resolute and Cambro. Find the ice machines themselves in Commercial Ice Machines, and the rest of the range in Refrigeration, Freezing & Ice Equipment.

Types of ice bins and dispensers

  • Ice storage bins: Hoshizaki B-300SF through B-900SF (300–900 lb), Resolute IB445 and Scotsman BH1600SS sit under a modular ice machine head.
  • Ice dispensers: Hoshizaki DB-130H and DB-200H, and the Resolute IDB130 no-touch dispensing bin, serve ice without scooping.
  • Ice and water dispensers: Hoshizaki DCM-300BAH and the OptiServe DCM-300BAH-OS make cubelet ice and dispense water; the Resolute CDIW360 dispenses nugget ice and water, with a matching stand for the CDIW220.
  • Ice caddies: The Cambro SlidingLid Ice Caddy (100 lb) moves ice from the machine to bars and banquet stations.

What to consider when choosing an ice bin or dispenser

  • Match bin to machine: Bin width and capacity need to suit the ice machine head on top. Check the manufacturer's compatibility before ordering.
  • Storage capacity: Size the bin to cover peak service between production cycles; bins here range from 300 lb to over 1,700 lb.
  • Dispenser vs bin: Dispensers keep hands and scoops out of the ice, useful for self-serve and healthcare; bins suit back-of-house use with a scoop.
  • Ice type: Cubelet and nugget dispensers suit drinks and healthcare; confirm the ice style before choosing a dispenser.
  • Moving ice: Use a dedicated caddy and scoops rather than buckets that are used for other tasks.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a bin with my ice machine?

Modular ice machine heads need a separate bin or dispenser. Self-contained undercounter machines have built-in storage.

Can I put any ice machine on any bin?

No. The bin must be compatible with the head's width and the manufacturer's adapter requirements.

Why choose a no-touch dispenser?

It reduces handling of ice, which is helpful in self-serve, office and healthcare settings.
