This invention relates to apparatus for dispensing both ice and chilled beverages and to an improved chilled beverage dispenser which has large ice storage capacity and which incorprates an improved system of dispensing ice. Ice in chilled beverages has become a necessary part of modern-day food service, and combined ice and chilled beverage dispenser increases efficiency by eliminating the need for two separate machines and by making more counter space available. The present invention utilizes a circular rotating tray (20) which lifts ice stored below the height of the discharge chute (12) to an elevation above said chute and then into a secondary cone chute (22) for gravity-assisted dispensing. This design allows the rotating tray (20) to reach throughout the entire height of the ice storage bin (30) with utilization of the entire volume of bin (30) while still dispensing proper volumes of ice at appropriate height levels.
