Common Questions About Manitowoc Ice Bins

What size Manitowoc bin do I need?

While a general rule of thumb is to get a bin that holds half your machine's daily production, this rule assumes fairly steady usage throughout the day. If you aren't using ice for most of the day and then need copious quantities at a given time, a bigger Manitowoc ice storage bin will help you have the necessary ice on hand before the rush begins. Operators can use a single Manitowoc ice storage bin for two ice machine heads, provided the bin is wide enough to accommodate the width of both heads. This is particularly useful if you need to increase the capacity of your existing ice machine by adding a new one.

What type of scoop do I need?

Many Manitowoc ice machine bins come with a scoop designed to ensure people don't contaminate the ice with their bare hands. A handy knuckle-and-thumb guard prevents hands from contacting the ice accidentally, while a built-in scoop holder prevents the handle from being laid down in the ice after use. Consult the product specifications page for the Manitowoc bin you're considering to determine scoop configuration.

What parts and accessories are available?

Our Manitowoc ice machine parts page includes convenient additions to your ice-making setup, such as adapters to ensure your Manitowoc bin fits with a new ice machine head. You can also find bagging kits to make selling ice easier, an external scoop holder that increases the available internal space, and even an ice paddle to bring ice to the front of deep bins.
