The 194HBN12022 22"W and is designed to use an Avantco Ice 194MC35022HA/FA or 194MC42022HA/FA cube ice machine as the source for ice production.

The 194HBN18030 is 30"W and designed to use an Avantco Ice 194MC50030HA/FA cube ice machine as the source for ice production.

Ice from the cuber falls into the insulated hopper, where it is stored until needed. When a user pushes the dispense chute a rotating wheel scoops the ice up to the top front of the hopper where there is an outlet to the ice chute.
