B842S

Overview

The Scotsman B842S is a commercial ice storage bin, not an ice-making head. It holds ice produced by a compatible ice maker mounted above it, giving operators a dedicated place to store and access ice during service. Scotsman lists a 778 lb application capacity and a 42-inch width. The bin has a top-hinged, front-opening door, polyurethane insulation and a polyethylene interior.

Scotsman identifies the B842S as a bin for a top-mounted ice maker. A product listing also identifies compatibility with Prodigy cube ice machines and various Scotsman models. Confirm that the intended ice maker is compatible with the B842S and any required bin-top accessory before ordering; the B842S itself does not produce ice.

Key Features

• 778 lb application capacity: Provides storage for ice made by the separately mounted ice machine.
• Front access: The bin uses a top-hinged, front-opening door. A product listing describes the door as spring-loaded for opening and closing.
• Insulated storage: Polyurethane insulation helps keep stored ice cold and limit premature melting.
• Polyethylene interior: The interior resists scratches from an ice scoop.
• Removable baffle: The baffle can be removed without tools, which supports access for cleaning.
• Scoop storage: A built-in scoop holder is listed for convenient storage. A product listing for a B842S ice-machine-and-bin combination states that an ice scoop is included.
• Bin door update: Scotsman’s June 2016 service bulletin documents a reinforced pin retainer intended to help keep the bin door secured to its pins.

The dimensions above are taken from the available product information. The 42-inch figure is Scotsman’s stated bin width; the 42 1/2 x 34 x 50-inch measurements are listed for the bin in a B842S ice-machine-and-bin combination. Check the available spec sheet for the exact configuration being quoted.

Installation & Requirements

The B842S is an ice storage bin intended for a top-mounted ice maker. Scotsman’s product description specifies a bin-top kit for 30-inch modular cubers on the B842S. That kit is an accessory, not part of the bin’s stated specifications. Confirm the selected ice maker’s fit and any required adapter or bin-top kit for the particular installation.

The B842S bin specifications provided here do not state an electrical connection, water connection, drain connection, or ventilation requirement for the bin itself. Electrical and water requirements belong to the selected ice-making head and are not specifications of the B842S storage bin. Allow for the listed bin dimensions when checking the intended location and access route.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The removable baffle can be taken out without tools, providing access to the bin interior for cleaning. The polyethylene liner is described as resistant to scoop scratches. The available B842S information does not provide a cleaning chemical, sanitizing procedure or maintenance interval, so consult the manufacturer’s current documentation for instructions specific to the bin and installed ice maker.

Scotsman’s service bulletin describes a reinforced pin retainer incorporated into current production Prodigy bins to help ensure the door remains secured to its pins. For a B842S replacement door, the bulletin lists part number A40613-021. Scotsman states that both the new and old door designs work with previous and current production bins, and that the reinforcement brackets cannot be added to prior bin doors.

Applications

The B842S suits commercial operations that need a large-capacity reserve of ice made by a compatible top-mounted Scotsman ice maker. Its 778 lb application capacity, front-opening access and built-in scoop holder support routine ice retrieval in foodservice settings such as restaurants, bars and other commercial kitchens. The bin stores ice; production capacity depends on the separately selected ice maker.
