B322S

Overview

The Scotsman B322S is a modular ice storage bin for keeping a supply of ice available for service. It is a storage unit, not an ice-making machine; a compatible ice machine is needed to produce the ice. Scotsman describes its styling as a match for Prodigy® and other Scotsman ice machines. The bin has an exterior metallic finish and NSF-approved construction.

Its listed storage capacity is up to 370 lb. A Scotsman product guide also gives the B322S an application capacity of 370 lb and an AHRI capacity of 290 lb. These are separately stated capacity figures, so buyers comparing specifications should note which capacity measure is being used.

Key Features

• Insulated storage: Polyurethane foam insulation helps preserve the ice supply for extended periods.
• Sanitary interior: The polyethylene bin interior is described as sanitary and easy to clean.
• Convenient ice access: A built-in scoop holder provides a designated place for the scoop.
• Removable baffle: The baffle is easily removable, making it simpler to access the bin interior.
• Installation flexibility: A recessed drain fitting provides flexibility when positioning the bin for installation.
• Commercial appearance: The metallic exterior finish and contemporary styling coordinate with Scotsman ice machines.
• Construction listing: Scotsman identifies the construction as NSF-approved.

Installation & Requirements

Allow 6” of space at the back for utility connections, as stated in the Scotsman storage-bin product guide. The listed height is 44”; add 6” when legs are used. Account for that added height when checking the available space and the height of the ice machine that will sit above the bin.

The recessed drain fitting is intended to provide installation flexibility. The available product information does not specify electrical or gas connections for the B322S. It is a storage bin, so the ice-making equipment is a separate unit. Confirm that the selected ice machine and bin are compatible before ordering; Scotsman identifies Prodigy® and other Scotsman machines as styling matches, but the supplied information does not provide a complete compatibility chart.

Operation

The B322S holds ice produced by a separate ice machine until it is needed. The built-in scoop holder keeps a scoop close to the stored ice, and the removable baffle can be taken out for access to the bin interior. The bin does not have a stated ice-production rate, electrical rating, or powered ice-making function in the available B322S specifications; those details belong to the separately selected ice machine, not this storage bin.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Scotsman describes the polyethylene interior as sanitary and easy to clean. The baffle is removable, which allows access to the interior for cleaning. The available B322S product information does not give a cleaning chemical, step-by-step cleaning procedure, or maintenance interval, so follow the product documentation supplied for the bin rather than applying instructions for a separate ice machine.

Applications

The B322S is suited to commercial foodservice operations that need an accessible reserve of stored ice alongside a compatible modular ice machine. Its 370 lb application capacity, scoop holder, and insulated bin support service areas where staff retrieve ice as needed. Its 22” width is a useful planning dimension for checking a proposed location, while its 34” depth and listed height should also be considered. Allow for the additional 6” when legs are fitted and the stated 6” rear space for utility connections.
