Compact insulated drop-in ice well for professional bar stations
The Simply Stainless SS41.IWS Small Ice Well is a compact drop-in ice storage
unit designed for cocktail stations, bar counters, beverage service lines and
built-in drink preparation areas. Its space-efficient square footprint fits
smaller bar benches without compromising ice capacity or thermal performance.
With full stainless steel construction, a perforated bottom tray and double-skin
foam insulation, this unit is built for fast service environments where ice must
stay clean, cold and easily accessible throughout the shift.
Engineered for professional performance
Thermally efficient structure for longer ice retention
The datasheet confirms a 25mm insulated stainless steel shell that reduces
melt rate and maintains ice quality under constant service loads. A 22.5mm
flange with 8mm brake sits flush on benchtops for a clean designer finish.
The 1.2mm perforated inner tray prevents bottles, fruit skins and garnish waste
from mixing with the ice, improving hygiene and drainage efficiency.

Frequently asked questions
Where is this ice well typically installed?
Commonly in cocktail stations, bar worktops and beverage preparation counters where staff require immediate ice access.
