The Follett SG1300S-48 upright ice storage bin with SmartGATE is designed to provide safer and more hygienic ice access, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. With the capacity to hold up to 1320 lb. of ice, this bin is compatible with cube, flake, or Chewblet ice. It is particularly well-suited for supermarkets or restaurants that require a medium supply of ice at all times.

This model features the SmartGATE ice shield, which controls the flow of ice, minimizing spills and reducing direct contact with the ice for improved sanitation. The control mechanism locks in three positions and easily returns to the fully down position, even when the bin is full. The SmartGATE system also facilitates better access to ice that has frozen together, eliminating the need to bend into the bin for safer scooping.

As an upright bin, the ice is dispensed using a first-in, first-out method, ensuring that the oldest ice is used first, keeping your supply fresher and preventing ice from resting at the bottom of the bin indefinitely.

The unit includes a single door with a durable PowerHinge design, allowing easy one-handed operation. This design eliminates door catches, allowing staff to quickly scoop the ice they need. Additionally, the model features an upper inspection window that slides open, providing visibility into the ice levels.

Constructed with a full stainless steel exterior, the ice bin is built for durability, withstanding harsh kitchen environments and resisting corrosion in damp areas. The interior has a corrosion-resistant poly liner, and the top is made from durable ABS plastic. This bin is easy to install and comes fully assembled, except for the legs.
