Ice storage tank ICE TECH B135

An ice storage bin keeps large quantities of ice ready for immediate use without clogging the ice maker. The ICE TECH B135 holds ice in a thermally insulated container that slows melting while allowing staff to scoop ice quickly during service. A hinged lid seals the top, reducing exposure to warm air and contaminants, and a drain at the base removes meltwater so the remaining ice stays dry and free-flowing. The bin stands on castors, letting kitchen staff move it to the point of use without lifting or transferring ice between vessels.

To use the B135, the operator positions the bin beneath the ice maker's discharge chute. Once the chute is aligned, the ice maker is switched on and ice falls directly into the bin until the desired level is reached. The lid is closed and the bin is wheeled to its storage or service location. When ice is needed, the lid is lifted and a scoop retrieves the required amount. The drain tap is opened periodically to release any accumulated meltwater, keeping the ice hygienic and easy to handle.

The B135 is constructed from stainless steel throughout, including the inner liner, outer skin and lid. The insulation layer between the skins reduces heat transfer, extending the time ice remains usable. Four swivel castors allow the bin to be moved across floors and through doorways without tilting or jamming. The overall dimensions of 762 mm wide, 819 mm deep and 740 mm high create a footprint that fits beneath most commercial ice makers while leaving enough clearance for the lid to open fully.

Controls are minimal: a single drain tap at the base. The tap is turned to release meltwater and closed once the water has drained, preventing ice from spilling out.

A capacity of 160 kg means the bin can hold a full day's supply for a busy kitchen or bar, reducing the frequency of refills. The 0.33 m³ volume provides ample space for different ice shapes—flake, cube or granular—without compacting or bridging. The 52 kg weight allows two staff members to move the bin when empty, while the castors make it manageable for one person when partially filled. The footprint of 762 by 819 mm fits within standard kitchen aisles and beneath most ice makers, ensuring the bin can be positioned where it is needed without obstructing workflow.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then rinsing and drying. The drain tap is opened to flush out any debris, and the lid is left open to air the bin between uses. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and staining, making maintenance straightforward.

The B135 is compatible with ICE TECH ice makers in the SC, FD/HD and GR series, allowing it to be paired with machines producing flake, cube or granular ice.

In the ICE TECH catalogue, the B135 is listed under ice storage solutions for professional kitchens, bars and food production environments.
