Liam Sinclair – Refrigeration Expert View Profile →
- Pros: Excellent insulation performance means significantly less ice melt overnight.
- Cons: As a dedicated bin, it requires a separate modular ice maker.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ship Inn, a popular harbourside pub in Bristol, found their existing under-counter ice machine just couldn't keep up with the summer crowds. They needed a dedicated, large capacity ice bin to stockpile for the weekend rush.
"Previously, Saturday afternoons involved a frantic dash to the supermarket for bags of ice. Since installing the Simag R100, we haven't run out once. The bar staff are happier, service is faster, and the ice is always perfectly solid. It's been a brilliant investment."
Robert Evans – General Manager
The pub has eliminated ice shortages entirely, leading to a smoother, more efficient bar operation and a noticeable improvement in service speed during its busiest periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a home for your bin on a firm, level surface, ideally with good ventilation.
- Use the adjustable stainless steel legs to get it perfectly level – this helps with drainage.
- Connect the flexible drain tube to a suitable floor drain. The 360° rotation makes this bit easy.
- Before you fill it up, give the interior a thorough clean with a food-safe sanitiser.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a soft, damp cloth to keep it gleaming.
- Schedule a regular deep clean of the internal liner to maintain top-notch hygiene.
- Check the removable door gasket weekly to ensure it’s clean and creating a tight seal.
- Make sure the drain outlet remains clear of any blockages to prevent water from pooling.

Explore more from SimagWhy High-Density Insulation Is a Money-Saver
Ever wondered what makes a great commercial ice storage bin? A big part of the answer is the quality of its insulation. The Simag R100 uses high-density polyurethane foam, which sounds technical, but the idea is simple. Think of it like a top-of-the-range flask for your ice. It creates a powerful barrier that traps the cold air inside and keeps the warm kitchen air out. This means your ice stays solid and separate for much longer, dramatically reducing how much melts into water at the bottom of the bin. Over time, that's less wasted ice and less work for your ice machine, which adds up to real savings on your utility bills.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Pubs & Cocktail Bars: Keep up with high-volume drink orders during peak hours without breaking a sweat.
- Hotels & Event Venues: A must-have for supplying ice to multiple bars, room service, and function rooms.
- Large Restaurants: An essential ice container for restaurants needing reliable back-up for both the bar and kitchen.
- Fishmongers & Caterers: Perfect for keeping fresh produce displays perfectly chilled and looking their best all day long.
