Bin Control Sensor Installation
Ice Bin Capacity.
Crushed ice weighs approximately 35 pounds per cubic ft. (35 lb/ft
3
). As ice drops
into a bin, it will pile up and slope naturally at about a 45° angle. This natural slope should be taken into
account when locating the bin thermostat sensor (or other bin level control) and when calculating the normal
bin capacity. If the ice is spread out by hand in the bin for maximum storage capacity, make sure a hazard
is not created by allowing ice to back up into the chute and jamming the cutter. Always allow enough room
below the chute for at least one harvest.
VT40 = 25-30 lbs. / cycle
VT60 & VT80 = 35-40 lbs. / cycle
VT100 = 47-52 lbs. / cycle
