B530S

Overview

The Scotsman B530S is a modular ice storage bin for commercial kitchens and other foodservice operations that need a substantial on-hand supply of ice. It holds up to 536 lb and is intended to pair with a top-mounted ice maker. The B530S is a bin only: it stores ice but does not make it, so a compatible ice maker head unit is required for ice production.

Its 30-inch width and 34-inch depth give operators a clear footprint to consider when planning a bin and ice maker combination. The manufacturer lists the unit at 44 inches high, with an additional 6 inches of height when legs are fitted. The stainless steel exterior gives the bin a metallic finish, while the polyethylene interior provides a sanitary surface that is easy to clean.

Key Features

• High-capacity storage: Holds up to 536 lb of ice, providing an on-hand supply for busy service periods.

• Polyethylene bin interior: A sanitary, easy-to-clean liner that resists scratches and scuffs from ice scoops.
• Stainless steel exterior: A metallic exterior finish with corrosion-resistant construction.
• Built-in scoop holder: Keeps the scoop out of the ice and close at hand. A scoop is included.
• Spring-loaded door: The front-opening door has hidden hinges for convenient access.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The manufacturer notes that the B530S baffle is easily removable without tools for cleaning. The polyethylene interior is sanitary and easy to clean, and its surface resists scratches and scuffs from ice scoops. The product information does not provide a cleaning procedure, approved cleaning products, or a maintenance schedule.

Applications

The B530S is an ice-storage component for commercial kitchens and foodservice operations that need a sizeable reserve alongside a compatible ice maker. Its capacity can serve settings such as restaurants, bars, hotels, cafeterias and other foodservice businesses where ice is produced by a separate machine and held for use during service. The bin's scoop holder keeps the included scoop readily accessible, while the insulated cabinet helps slow melting between production and use.
