<v 0>Follett: innovative solutions inspired by ice.</v>

00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:09.840
Today we're going to review the advantages of choosing a Follett upright ice bin

3
00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:13.560
over a slope front ice bin. In a Follett upright bin,

4
00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:16.830
the first ice made is the first ice dispensed.

5
00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:22.020
This creates a continuous ice turnover that prevents ice from going stale.

6
00:00:22.710 --> 00:00:25.800
Slope front ice bins fill the bin from the bottom up,

7
00:00:26.190 --> 00:00:28.620
but you scoop ice from the top of the bin.

8
00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:32.250
This means the oldest ice waits at the bottom of the bin.

9
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.380
You never know when you'll serve your customers old ice with a stale taste or

10
00:00:37.410 --> 00:00:40.380
odor. Don't forget that ice is food.

11
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:42.420
Ice can be contaminated

12
00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:46.740
when an employee bends into a slope front bin. Their arms, head,

13
00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:49.410
and hair can come in contact with the ice.

14
00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:53.760
Not to mention congealed ice is difficult to break with a scoop.

15
00:00:54.750 --> 00:00:56.280
When using an upright bin,

16
00:00:56.610 --> 00:01:00.420
you'll notice that bending into the bin is not required to scoop ice,

17
00:01:00.750 --> 00:01:05.580
which reduces the opportunity for ice contamination. Follett's patented

18
00:01:05.580 --> 00:01:10.020
Smartgate ice shield makes it easy for anyone to break the bridge and

19
00:01:10.020 --> 00:01:11.220
control the ice.

20
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.090
An upright bin not only dispenses fresher ice,

21
00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:20.010
but it often requires less linear floor space compared to a slope front bin.

22
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.210
When comparing these bins of equal ice storage capacity,

23
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.770
the upright bin is narrower conserving expensive commercial floor space.

24
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:32.100
