Ice storage tank KASTEL ST S 200

An ice storage tank keeps bulk ice ready for service without occupying the ice machine itself. The ST S 200 collects ice produced by a separate generator, holding it in an insulated chamber until needed at the bar, buffet or kitchen station. Insulation slows melting, so the ice stays usable longer and the machine runs fewer cycles, cutting energy and wear.

The tank stands on the floor and receives ice automatically from a compatible KASTEL ice machine. A closing panel on top seals the chamber, reducing air exchange and further protecting the ice from ambient heat. The operator opens the panel to scoop ice as required, then closes it again to maintain the low temperature inside.

Construction is entirely stainless steel, including the outer shell, inner liner and closing panel. High-density polyurethane foam fills the gap between the two steel skins, forming a rigid, non-absorbent insulation layer that does not sag or settle over time. The smooth surfaces and rounded corners simplify cleaning and prevent ice from sticking.

Controls are minimal: the closing panel lifts manually and rests securely in place when closed. No power or plumbing is required; the tank relies on the insulation and the sealed top to preserve the ice.

The 180 kg capacity allows the tank to hold the output of a medium ice machine for several hours, reducing the need to run the machine during service. The 43 kg weight makes the unit manageable for two people to move when empty, while the 769 × 850 × 1048 mm footprint fits against a wall or under a worktop without occupying excessive floor space.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then rinsing and drying. The polyurethane insulation is sealed inside the steel walls and does not require maintenance. The closing panel should be kept free of ice build-up to ensure a proper seal.

The ST S 200 is compatible with KASTEL ice machines KQ 150, KQ 250, KQ 320, KQ 450, KS 140, KS 300 and KS 600, allowing the tank to be paired with the appropriate machine for the establishment's ice demand.

This tank is listed in the storage section of the professional refrigeration catalogue, under ice handling equipment.
