Hoshizaki B-300SF Ice Bin 22"W Top-hinged Front-opening Door

Keep up to 300 pounds of ice ready in a 22-inch-wide bin

The Hoshizaki B-300SF gives busy foodservice and beverage operations a substantial ice reserve without requiring a wider bin cabinet. Its insulated construction slows melting, while the top-hinged, front-opening door keeps bulk ice accessible during service.

This is an ice storage bin, not a complete ice-making system. A compatible modular ice machine and any required top kit are sold separately. Confirming the complete combination before checkout helps prevent compatibility problems at installation.

Size the reserve around real demand

Hoshizaki currently rates the Hoshizaki B-300SF for up to 300 pounds of stored ice. That figure is based on 11.51 cubic feet of internal volume and an average ice density of 30 pounds per cubic foot. Actual stored weight can vary because flake, cubelet, and cube ice don’t pack at the same density.

Storage capacity and production output solve different problems. The machine’s 24-hour rating indicates how much ice it can make under stated test conditions, while the bin rating indicates how much finished ice it can hold. A larger reserve can take some pressure off during lunch, dinner, or bar rushes, provided the paired ice machine can replenish what the operation uses.

Because the bin is insulated rather than refrigerated, some ice will melt during normal operation. Meltwater must drain correctly, and the reserve can still run low when peak withdrawals exceed production. Use the commercial ice bin guide to compare production, storage, and peak-period demand.

Confirm these points before ordering

Match the complete ice system

The Hoshizaki B-300SF should be used only with a manufacturer-approved modular ice machine and mounting arrangement. Exact model suffixes, adapters, top kits, drop-zone alignment, equipment weight, and stacking approval all matter.

Review the current Hoshizaki B-300SF product documentation before ordering. Don’t assume that a machine fits because its cabinet has a similar width or appears capable of sitting on the bin.

The ice machine must also produce enough ice to support the operation’s busiest periods. A large bin can hold a deeper reserve, but it can’t correct an undersized ice machine or recover ice faster than the machine’s published output allows.

Plan access, drainage, and support

Foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation in the bin walls and bottom helps limit heat transfer and slow ice loss. It doesn’t eliminate melting, so the drain must remain open and properly routed throughout operation.

Before delivery, verify the path through loading areas, doorways, hallways, elevators, and kitchen work zones. The permanent location must also provide room for:

• The modular ice machine and required top kit
• The top-hinged access door
• Safe scooping and ice removal
• Drain piping and cleaning access
• Ice-machine ventilation and service clearances
• Panel or component removal during maintenance

A qualified installer should level the bin, mount the approved equipment combination, connect the drain, and complete the ice machine’s separate utility and startup requirements. Review the commercial ice-maker installation checklist before delivery.

Keep the ice-contact area on schedule

The seamless polyethylene liner supports routine cleaning, but it doesn’t clean or sanitize itself. Ice is food, and the bin can collect mineral residue, biofilm, debris, or contamination from hands and scoops.

Follow current manufacturer instructions and local sanitation requirements. A complete routine should address:

• Removing and discarding stored ice before cleaning
• Cleaning and sanitizing the liner and door
• Cleaning and sanitizing the scoop and approved holder
• Inspecting the drain for residue, blockages, or slow flow
• Keeping chemicals, glassware, bottles, and food out of the bin
• Increasing service frequency when usage, water conditions, or inspection findings require it

Use only chemicals, concentrations, contact times, and rinsing procedures approved for the equipment and food-contact surfaces. The commercial ice-machine cleaning guide can support maintenance planning, but current Hoshizaki instructions remain the controlling source.

Review the current warranty terms

Hoshizaki’s current written warranty for qualifying commercial ice-storage bins up to 1,000 pounds provides three years of parts-and-labor coverage, subject to its installation, use, maintenance, service, location, and claim requirements.

Hoshizaki requires warranty registration within 30 days of installation. If registration isn’t completed, the warranty start date is determined under the manufacturer’s written terms. Review the current Hoshizaki ice-bin warranty statement for complete coverage, exclusions, and claim requirements.

Hoshizaki B-300SF FAQs

Does the Hoshizaki B-300SF make ice?

No. This bin stores ice but doesn’t produce it. A compatible modular ice machine is sold separately, and some approved combinations require a model-specific top kit.

How much ice does the Hoshizaki B-300SF hold?

Hoshizaki publishes a nominal storage capacity of 300 pounds. The rating is calculated from the bin’s internal volume and an average ice density of 30 pounds per cubic foot, so actual stored weight varies with the type and density of ice.

Which ice machines are compatible with the B-300SF?

Only Hoshizaki-approved machine-and-bin combinations should be installed. Confirm the complete ice-machine model number, suffix, required top kit, installed footprint, and stacking approval against current manufacturer documentation. Similar width alone doesn’t establish compatibility.

What sizes are available for Hoshizaki ice bins?

Hoshizaki offers commercial ice bins in several widths and storage capacities. Its current SF range spans nominal capacities from 250 to 900 pounds, while other Hoshizaki bin families cover additional configurations. The B-300SF is the 22-inch-wide, nominal 300-pound model in the SF line. Browse Hoshizaki ice storage bins to compare available formats.

Is Hoshizaki a good commercial ice-equipment brand?

Yes, Hoshizaki is an established commercial ice-equipment manufacturer. It provides model specifications, compatibility information, parts documentation, service resources, and written warranty terms. Reliable operation still depends on correct sizing, approved equipment matching, installation, cleaning, and maintenance.

The Hoshizaki B-300SF is a strong fit when an operation needs a substantial ice reserve but has limited width available for the storage bin. Qualifying orders receive free shipping within the 48 contiguous United States; liftgate service, inside delivery, and other add-on services aren’t included.
