Scotsman B322S Ice Bin Top-hinged Front-opening Door 370 Lb Application Capacity

Get a deeper ice reserve from a 22-inch footprint.

The Scotsman B322S provides up to 370 pounds of application capacity in a bin only 22 inches wide. That compact, high-capacity design gives busy restaurants, bars, hotels, and beverage stations a stronger reserve for rushes without demanding a wider footprint.

Staff benefit, too. The spring-loaded, top-hinged door supports frequent front access, while the included scoop and built-in holder keep the right tool within reach. A baffle that comes out without tools and a scuff-resistant polyethylene liner make routine cleaning more manageable. Polyurethane foam insulation helps preserve the stored supply between production cycles, and the recessed drain fitting adds installation flexibility.

The corrosion-resistant metallic finish and NSF-approved construction are built for commercial use. Scotsman also identifies the B322S as designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA. For qualifying commercial installations, Scotsman publishes a three-year parts-and-labor warranty on bin components, subject to current manufacturer terms.

The B322S stores ice; it doesn’t produce it. Pair it with a compatible modular ice machine head sized for realistic peak demand. Before ordering, use our commercial ice bin buying guide to verify storage needs, head compatibility, access, and drainage for the complete setup.

Confirm the complete system before it reaches the loading dock.

Match the bin to demand, not just the headline number.

The 370-pound figure is application capacity, which Scotsman calculates using 90 percent of the bin’s total volume at 34 pounds of ice per cubic foot. For projects requiring a standardized basis, Scotsman has separately published a 290-pound AHRI-certified capacity. Actual loading varies with the ice form, how it settles, and operating practices.

More storage gives an operation a useful buffer, but it can’t correct a daily production shortfall. If the machine head makes less ice than the business consumes, even a full bin will eventually run low. Use the commercial ice machine sizing guide to compare realistic production with peak demand and available recovery time.

Pair the bin with an approved modular head.

The Scotsman B322S is styled to match compatible Scotsman Prodigy modular machines and other approved Scotsman heads. Width is only one part of the fit, so confirm the exact head model, ice-drop opening, and any adapter or bin-top requirement in current Scotsman documentation. This is especially important when replacing only the head or bin in an older setup. Calculate the complete installed height, and preserve the ice machine’s ventilation and service clearances.

Keep the stored supply accessible and easier to maintain.

The spring-loaded door and hidden hinges support repeated opening and closing during service. The dedicated holder gives the included scoop a proper storage point instead of leaving it loose in the ice, and the removable baffle provides better access during prescribed cleaning. The polyethylene liner also resists routine scratches and scuffs from scooping.

The B322S is insulated, not refrigerated, so some melting is normal. Its recessed fitting helps with drain placement, but the drain must remain clear so meltwater can leave the bin. Follow current Scotsman instructions and local health requirements for cleaning and sanitizing. Use only approved chemicals and concentrations; don’t assume vinegar is an acceptable substitute. Our commercial ice machine cleaning guide can help organize the work, but the manufacturer’s procedure controls.

If the site needs substantial insulated storage in a 22-inch footprint and the planned modular head is approved for the bin, the Scotsman B322S is an easy model to approve. It delivers a deeper reserve for busy periods, convenient front access, sanitation-minded storage features, and manufacturer-backed commercial construction without taking over the service line.

If the operation needs a different width, storage range, or door configuration, compare other commercial ice bins before finalizing the system.

Scotsman B322S FAQs

Does the Scotsman B322S make ice?

No. The Scotsman B322S stores ice made by a compatible, top-mounted modular ice machine. The machine head is sold separately unless the product offer expressly states that one is included.

How much ice does the Scotsman B322S hold?

Scotsman publishes an application capacity of up to 370 pounds and has separately published a 290-pound AHRI-certified capacity. These figures use different measurement methods, and neither describes the ice machine head’s daily production.

Which ice machines fit the Scotsman B322S?

It pairs with compatible Scotsman modular ice machines, including approved Prodigy configurations. Confirm the exact head model, ice-drop opening, and any required adapter or bin top in current Scotsman documentation. Don’t approve a pairing from the shared 22-inch width alone.

Does the Scotsman B322S need a drain?

Yes. This insulated bin isn’t refrigerated, so normal meltwater must leave through its 3/4-inch NPT drain. Plan the drain route, required air gap or indirect connection, and local plumbing-code compliance before installation.

How often should the Scotsman B322S be cleaned?

Clean and sanitize it at the interval required by current Scotsman instructions, local code, and site conditions. Heavy use, mineral deposits, spills, or visible soil can require more frequent service. Include the scoop holder, baffle, liner, door, and drain, and use approved products rather than improvised cleaners.
