Detailed Features & Benefits

Hygienic Design and Antimicrobial Protection: The polyethylene bin liner provides a smooth, non-porous surface that resists bacterial growth and is easy to clean. H-GUARD Plus antimicrobial protection on the included scoop adds an extra layer of defense against contamination, ensuring safe ice handling in foodservice and healthcare environments.

Efficient Insulation and Energy Savings: Foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation minimizes heat transfer, reducing ice meltage and preserving ice quality. This lowers waste, reduces energy costs, and helps extend the life of connected ice machines by reducing workload. The B-500SF is both economically and environmentally sound for businesses with high ice storage needs.

NOTICE: Do not use with water that is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection either before or after the system.
