Maximize Your Storage & Keep Production Moving: Why Your Live Bottom Bin Needs a Leveling Screw
Modern Ice Equipment & Supply
In the packaged ice business, every minute of uptime counts — and every cubic foot of storage matters. If your live bottom bin isn’t filling evenly, you’re leaving production capacity and profit on the table. Here’s how a simple upgrade — adding a leveling screw — can transform your operation by maximizing storage, improving material flow, and keeping your production line running smoothly.
Benefits of a Leveling Screw for Your Live Bottom Bin
- Maximize Your Bin Storage Capacity - Without a leveling screw, ice naturally piles unevenly, creating high spots that prevent you from filling the bin to its true capacity. A leveling screw evenly distributes material across the bin, allowing you to fully load your bin and use every available cubic foot — helping you boost storage and production without needing a larger bin.
- Eliminate Backups, Gaps, and Bridging - Uneven material flow can cause gaps, bridging, or backups that disrupt operations and require costly manual clearing. A leveling screw smooths the top layer, keeping product moving steadily and reducing the chance of flow interruptions.
- Maintain Continuous Production Flow - When ice flows consistently, your live bottom bin delivers a steady feed to your bagging or transfer system. This means fewer production stops, fewer operator interventions, and more output every day.
- Reduce Equipment Stress and Maintenance - Costs Consistent material flow reduces the burden on motors, augers, and conveyors. This means less equipment wear, lower maintenance costs, and a longer service life for your system — saving you money year after year.
