This offer ends in:
The BB244818 is a 1220×610×760mm insulated stainless steel ice bin designed for high-volume beverage service in hotels, bars, and event catering. The unit stores up to 6 cases of bottled beverages on ice with continuous cold-hold capability. Commercial operators use it for front-of-house drink stations and back-bar prep areas.
Commercial Application
This bin solves the workflow problem of maintaining chilled beverage inventory during peak service hours. The insulated walls hold ice melt to under 15% per 8-hour shift, reducing mid-service refills. Operators position it at bar stations or outdoor event setups where refrigeration access is limited.
During high-volume service periods, staff retrieve chilled bottles from the 530×1160×460mm bowl without opening refrigerator doors. The 1-inch IPS drain removes meltwater without manual scooping. A full ice load supports 200+ bottle retrievals across a standard evening service.
